With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.

Eris Drew’s Mystery of the Motherbeat Part 2

Canela En Surco is celebrating our 200th show! An artist to whom we have been paying special attention to for more than two decades (buying his records and of course visiting and revisiting his sets in order to study them), Andrew Carthy aka Mr. Scruff has given us the best gift imaginable: letting us share with the world his incredible three-hour set from our sister label Escola Records' party at La Paloma with Pau Roca, Breixo, Ivy Barkakati and Oniria Sister this past Three Kings Day (January 6th). (Thanks Andy!!)

Known for his bold mixes, changing genres, times and latitudes, always with exquisite consistency and otherworldly skills, Mr. Scruff took the controls of Ecler's new WARM4 to give a three-hour DJing lesson that we can share with all of you today thanks to his generosity.

Thank you Andy, Louis, Ralph, Arnau, Fabio, Mario, Pau, Maxi, Ivy and everyone else involved in helping this mix come to light.

Shanti Celeste - Essential Mix 2018-12-08

I recorded this mix in 2018 for the Her Damit festival and titled it the Mystery of the Motherbeat. I was hungry to tour Europe for the first time and agreed to do a mix and play the festival on a shoestring budget. Her Damit went into bankruptcy later that year, failing to pay artists and others for their work.  They also let their Soundcloud account expire, losing all the mixes they commissioned for the series. 

I am re-releasing this mix under its original name. Its real name. It is one of my deepest mixes. It is filled with the love and hope for the future that I put into it. It was recorded a week before I went to visit Maya and Brooke for the first time in March of 2018, exactly two years ago. That visit would change my life.
