Follow Vazy Julie from Metaphore Collectif and discover the hidden paths of traditional Provence and Occitanie through one nostalgic hour of folklore and field recordings.

"Provence, moun païs.
This one-hour soundscape is an invitation to visualize and feel. It begins with a walk in the garrigue, passes through a village, and a few others, and when night falls, I wanted you to feel the mistral let out of control on your skin.
It goes to meet the elders, and in a time when identity is at the center of preoccupations, I wanted to get back to the essential: We all belong to a decor, this one is mine. So, this mix is a very personal way between traditional and folk music from Occitanie and Provence, field recordings from anthropologists and musicologists works, the 70’s novà cançon occitana, and contemporary tracks that remind me of the south and the mediterranean. I worked this mix as a visualization experience, in a very personal and intimate way.
Close your eyes and grab my hand, I'll show you where I grew up!"

Le Pochon Noir (12/03/21) w/ Vazy Julie

DEVOLUTION (Demo)

Starts off as Bristol meets Brazil with a track from the M. Takara & Carla Boregas album on Bokeh and stays on a West Country vibe with the opening track from Robin Stewart’s new No Corner release ft. Daniela Dyson. Next is some Glacial Heal Aid from Yamaneko circa 2017 which is followed by a slice of F Ingers from the same year, before a stylistic swerve into Indonesian outfit Zatua. New SUDS grot taken from the LAVALAVA V/A that just dropped. This is a new track from the Aircode EP on Alien Jams and then some unreleased Teresa Winter and obligatory Perila inclusion. Some Russian new age by XYR  from that Miracle Steppahs comp by Fergus 12th Isle and JD Twitch before a “track trifle” c/o Georgia’s Brian Close which is from his split release with Kiki Kudo forthcoming on Best2s. Absolutely love the gated snare on this Model Home track which is on their new Future Times album - go gripppp! Equally this is a proper cut from the new TVII Son release on MIC Records before a So Low anthem from John Bender. Still no idea who Speculative Ero is but I really like this track from their Ominira release. This is one of three mad Morgan Buckley remixes of Natural Wild due out on All City Records - feels so good to have some new MB to blast. Up the Dubs! Love all the tracks on the new Workshop v/a but this Iku Sakan one is my favourite. This is from the TRjj compilation Stroom put out last year which I have been revisiting lately - I recommend you do too! Was thrilled to see Laila Sakini on Boomkat’s Documenting Sound series and this track stood out on first listen. Bass Clef doing an album based around vocoder experiments is even better than it sounds - as this track demonstrates! E-Unity low rider from their new EP on Simo Cell’s new label before some equally-paced dub techno from Martinou on the new AD93 Blue release. A lil hoodie jam from naemi and shy ♡ before this massive slab of angry drum machine business by Rabih Beaini on the Morphine comp released to raise funds for ongoing Lebanese relief efforts and then some classic PG Sounds to end it all.

Aki Gratte-Ciel, who has been DJing in the shadows for the last six years, slowly building up his own style of cooking, somewhere between the deep-fried, loner folk and all the trippy sounds from Haute-Loire and the Aegean. A fierce belief in "terroir" and digging has led him to join the LYL gotha, run the John Deere Audio family business as well as having a short—yet intense—promoter carreer.

Pre-order: https://accidentalmeetings.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-visions

Today’s premiere comes from Vancouver-based artist wzrdryAV aka Kelly Nairn via the relatively new Brighton imprint, party and podcast series Accidental Meetings. 

The Canadian-based producer's tape, entitled Midnight Visions, is a tale of two sides — one characterised by beats, the other beatless. ‘Forgot About Time’ falls into the latter of those two categories. It’s filled with abstracted field recordings and synths swathed in static and hiss. Like the rest of Side B, the track has no hard edges. It’s an amorphous, 4-minute sound collage built from layers of stretched out electronics, white noise and the distant hum of machinery with no discernible origin. There are similarities to the murky, nebulous atmospheres of Pinkcourtesyphone, picnic and Low Flung, but ultimately wzrdryAV’s soundscapes, which incorporate lo-fi ambient, Detroit techno and a kind of hazy, formless dub, conjure their own inimitable environment. The full album is set to be released on March 5th. For now, ‘Forgot About Time’ provides a tantalising glimpse into Nairn’s self-contained world.
