Softly spun folk selections.

Theory Therapy 42 is one of the most delicate and thoughtful mixes we've had. It was recorded by Montreal-based producer Kore and consists mainly of stripped-down folk songs that have a warm, home-recorded feel—perfect music for rainy mornings, in my opinion.

“I think this mix was inspired by the season, mid-August. I’ve been slowing down a lot. I can feel the chill of autumn creeping in and it makes me appreciate everything more. All the overgrown gardens, the warm evenings, riding my bike.”

Takeo.K - 4th July 2025 | Bangkok Community Radio

Every now and then I've been mixing in @y-m-t-l 's living room on a random weekend. With @kk_shucko we'd play anything from pleasant to disrespectful shit and get tacos afterwards. Here's a window into one of those afternoons... 🖼️

“i grew up on the east coast in new jersey and after school in the midwest and a few years on the west coast, i moved back home and realized deep in my bones, i’m an east coast gal! i need the revolution of 4 seasons and autumn is forever my favorite season. nothing beats an east coast autumn—as the summer heat starts to cool, it’s back-to-school season, and the leaves begin to transform and glow with earthy, vibrant hues. it’s apple picking season!” This is how vicki huang @vickihuang feels about “Autumn Commences,” as they bring the 23rd Orbitinging mix.

“it’s an ambient IDM glitch mix for spacing out, laying on the grass with your headphones on to enjoy all the ear candy—bleeps and bloops, brain food, bits and bytes,” they add. “i was a spacey kid and still am a space cadet!”

vicki huang is a Taiwanese-American musician, DJ, and vinyl storyteller focused on the preservation and revival of Taiwanese folk music. Their work explores diasporic memory through archival materials combined with contemporary downtempo and electronic grooves. Based in Taiwan, they are a resident DJ at Taipei’s 潮電Bar&RecordStore and founder of 鹽埕區長salt district mayor,  a living archive and audiovisual label devoted to forgotten voices and field recordings from Taiwan’s roots culture.

vicki highlights “brood xii - brood xii” from their mix—a track by John Hughes III, founder of Chicago-based IDM label Hefty Records. “hefty was home to my childhood favorite band, ‘telefon tel aviv’. i listened to their album fahrenheit fair enough on repeat throughout high school and college—it feels like sonic home to me. ‘brood xii’ probably refers to cicadas, which reminds me of nature’s chorus in late summer.”

“hello from my childhood bedroom in new jersey!” vicki shares, visiting family and hosting a few listening sessions in NYC this midsummer. They found their old tape recorder—“my first tool for electronic music—used for field recording, sampling, and playing with soundwaves. i used to get such a kick out of the simplest effect: reverse. for this mix, i pressed reverse again—returning to the music that inspired and healed me as a kid. some tracks were ripped from my old CD collection,” they share excitedly.

vicki will return to Kaohsiung in the fall to continue working on their debut EP—a collection of downtempo/techno reimaginings of Tainan folk songs—and to prepare the first 鹽埕區長 salt district mayor vinyl release.

「我在美國東岸的紐澤西長大，在中西部念書，然後在西岸待了幾年後搬回家，才深刻地意識到：我骨子裡就是個東岸女孩！我需要四季的變換，而秋天永遠是我最喜歡的季節。沒有什麼比東岸的秋天更棒了——夏天的熱氣開始消退，就是開學的季節，樹葉開始轉變成大地氣息的色彩，亦是蘋果採收的季節！」這是黃美琦vicki huang @vickihuang 對於「立秋」的感受，他同時也為帶Orbitinging系列帶來第23部混音作品。

「混音中夾雜了ambient、IDM、glitch，適合放空、躺在草地上戴著耳機聆聽──那些嗶嗶啵啵像耳朵裡的糖果、腦部糧食以及數據碎片的聲響。」她補充道，「我從小到大就是個淘氣的孩子。」

vicki特別從混音中挑選了〈brood xii - brood xii〉與我們分享，這首歌來自 John Hughes III——芝加哥 IDM 廠牌 Hefty Records 的創辦人。「Hefty 是我童年最喜歡的樂團『telefon tel aviv』的老家。我從高中到大學每天都重複播放他們的專輯《fahrenheit fair enough》，那對我來說是音樂的家與慰藉。『brood xii』指的大概是蟬，讓我聯想到夏末大自然的合鳴。」

vicki在紐澤西兒時的臥房笑著和我們打招呼──這個夏天，她回到美國東岸陪家人，同時也在紐約籌辦幾場聆聽會。她翻出小時候使用的錄音機：「那是我做電子樂使用的第一個工具，用來錄環境音、取樣，還有把玩聲波。我以前超愛一個最簡單的效果：倒轉 (reverse)。這次的作品，我也按下了『倒轉』鍵——回到那些曾啟發我、療癒我的童年音樂。裡面有幾首甚至是我從小時候的CD裡翻出來的。」

vicki 將在秋天回到高雄，並持續創作她的首張 EP——一張將台南民謠重新詮釋為downtempo/techno曲風的作品，同時也將準備 鹽埕區長 salt district mayor 的第一張實體黑膠發行。

Autumn Commences 立秋

As the days remain hot and the mornings and evenings begin to cool, reduced rainfall can sometimes lead to even higher temperatures than during Major Heat—a phenomenon known as the “Autumn Tiger.” In traditional belief, autumn corresponds to the lungs, which are associated with the emotion of grief. Excessive sorrow can harm the lungs, so it’s important to stay calm and at ease, avoiding emotional distress.

I'm delighted to be back for a new Bodañ show on @noodsradio . Bodañ, which means "to come together" in Breton, is a one-hour journey through styles and genres, with no limits. 

For this new show, I am delighted to have Amor Leone as my guest. 

Her mix is both strange and offbeat, imbued with the sweet scent of an old, slightly dark cellar, where dub and psychedelic sounds, distorted rhythms and deep bass lines intersect, tracing the contours of a slow, esoteric dance.

Dubsahara - 3 Symbols
Fabio Fabio - Boards of FF
DJ Plant Texture - Cut 10 (loudr)

NVST at Polifonic Festival Puglia 2025 - Stone Stage

With the original release of ‘The Difference it Makes’ racking up more than a million Spotify streams, the 2004 hit track by The MFA has been remixed and remastered.

Original MFA Mix:
One of Pitchfork’s top 50 tracks of 2004, Resident Advisor described it at the time as, “Beautiful slices of dubby-tech house with compressed guitars and abstract sliced vocals. From start to finish, the track is minimal in nature. I like it, and I think you will too... The MFA has created something of a hidden gem.”
The record went on to receive support from Gerd Janson, Carl Cox, BLOND:ISH, Sven Väth, James Holden, Michael Mayer, Tim Sweeney, Dusky, Ata, Joseph Capriati, Robag Wruhme, Henry Saiz, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Jody Wisternoff, James Grant, Joe Goddard, and more.

Joe Goddard Remix:
With plenty of plays from Grammy-nominated Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, it seemed only right to ask him to remix the track. The result is an electro-dance number with a big breakdown and main room appeal.

Nathan Fake Remix:
Originally released on James Holden's Border Community, The MFA pay homage with a remix by former labelmate, Nathan Fake – who the duo first met on an internet chat room at the turn of the millennium.

The MFA’s #23 Remix:
Reimagined 23 years after it was first written (with a nod to The KLF), the remix pushes the track deeper onto the dancefloor, with a fresh take on the original.

“This mix is best enjoyed loud whilst doing the following: mincing herbs, frying an egg till it’s crispy, folding t-shirts, jumping on the spot, not having many thoughts…”
