The next instalment in the Phase Group Mix series is delivered by dear friend and contributing artist to the label, Low Bat. 

Low Bat lives amongst the black coal hills of northern France. When he isn’t marking textbooks and exposing Neue Deutsche Welle to the classrooms, the French DJ, musician and teacher keeps himself busy playing with his band Jean Luc, co-running the Yellow Light of Death festival and curating radio as 1/3 of the team behind Tblisi’s Mutant Radio. 

On top of this, he makes up 1/2 of Lowspace, the newest additions to Phase Group, who’s split tape with Lostsoundbytes will be coming out in December

His Phase Group Mix is a masterfully sequenced mad ride through post punk, psych rock, French trip hop, and proto trance. Thanks Louis!

Sierra Leonean artist and producer Lamin Fofana – who released an excellent album on Shifted’s Avian label late last year – turns in a softly energising mix for our Sunday series.

Bookended by tracks from Sweden's Andreas Tilliander under his Mokira alias and experimental duo Autechre, and featuring artists such as Miles Davis, Alto Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, the hour-long mix is filled with buzzing synths, fluttering piano and glitchy ambient that comforts and intrigues.

Back in Sydney for Theory Therapy 55. Gillian Campbell aka gillielove is a selector, producer and radio host who has been a fixture of the local scene here for a while now. We’ve been big fans of their mixes, music and Nomad Radio show for ages. Expect an expansive and hypnotic trip, layered vocals and that special ineffable quality that makes all of gillie’s mixes so enveloping. “Light some candles, burn some incense, and listen to this mix while you arrange flowers, drink tea or lay in bed.“

Yssue takes up the reigns on the next Phase Group Mix.   

A dear friend of the label and a talented producer and DJ, Dima is part of the Esthetic Joys collective that were behind some of the most compelling underground parties in Moscow. Now a resident in Paris after some time living in Armenia, Yssue continues to create his own brand of evocative left field electronic music, the likes of which has been released to great effect on labels such as Paris' Global Warming Records, Belgrade’s YES, Lyon’s Kump and Edinburgh label Sounds of Ogigia.   

His mix for us is a heads-down psychic journey across genres from haunting spoken word through dubbed out post punk, brooding hip hop  and psychedelic downtempo electronics,  all the while with multilingual voices echoing to us from beyond. 

Thanks Dima!
