The Upload 3

Restrictions shape the inner path, forging narrow passageways where thought is forced to sharpen and transform. Limits reveal the contours of desire, the boundaries of fear, and the hidden spaces where clarity waits silently. Each obstacle tilts the mind toward new angles, new patterns, new strength. Within the compressed geometry of restriction, truth becomes brighter, movement becomes purer, and the self learns to expand beyond what seems unbreakable. In the stillness between pressure and release, a deeper form of freedom begins to emerge.

In the beginning I abused them delays. But when I toned it down I realised it's exactly what I am living at the moment.

This is the Chinuri Mix (part 1) by Mika Snickars - a great DJ, owner of Snickars Records and our dear friend, who had visited us back in 2014. Mix is made from records found in Tbilisi's dry bridge market, some from Romania and other places in Easter Europe. Listening pleasure with plenty of nice surprises...enjoy...

Fernando Costantini & Ian F - Combination EP

We've been doing our mix series for 6 years now but, as a lot of you know, we have a wealth of talent working behind the counter or packing your orders. A lot of us DJ, have a radio show or produce music and now we wanted to highlight some of our colleagues and give you an insight into what each of one us like.  In the ongoing lockdown, we wanted to shine a light on some our dedicated crew. 
First up is Govind aka Kylin Tyce - who you will find working most weekends at the shop. You may know some of his releases on Tesselate or OldiVibes where his intricate minimal house and UK Garage-flavoured productions sit proudly on our wall racks! So enjoy an hour of perfectly-mixed house music from Kylin Tyce!

Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: 
Internally: Get to know your collection intimately — there’s about 3 different ways to play a song and if you don’t like a B-side right now, come back to it in a few months or years, you’ll likely get it then. Grow your collection like you would a plant— it will take time to build it, be patient. Ultimately, it’s an expression and a journal of who you are and were when making it. Allow some outside influences, but still let it be you at its core. This is your sound, and no one can do it like you do.

Externally: The underground scene is a community project. It’s DIY. No amount of mainstream intervention can take away the freaky little corners, holes in the wall, basement dwellings we have for ourselves. We live for the sweatbox, the single red light, and the 4am revelation of the best song you’d ever heard. Our scene can only survive with collaboration, participation, and mentorship. Know your local scene’s history, see who is showing up now, and build from it for others in the future. Create salons and creative hubs to impart your knowledge to those who want to put in the work. Share your passions and love for music, give as much access as you can to those who otherwise would be without— sometimes that’s a speaker, an aux cord, 5 friends at a graveyard on a Tuesday night. At the same time, not everything needs full coverage— some special things need to stay word of mouth, and that’s ok! Finally, support your local record store.

Felt good to experiment out loud and mix this live with a very cozy audience at The Lot Radio last night. People surrounded a bonfire, enjoying cider, beers, and laughter by the kiosk as I dj'ed. Pardon a few trips here and there, got excited to try a few things. October is my favorite month so I was happy to play a few jams that have been keeping me happy. Take care out there. Love, Ron
