Sound Metaphors Mix Series 04 : Piers Harrison

This mix was for a mix series called Loop Dreams ~ Thanks to Pete for inviting me to his series back in 2020. 

I've loaded it again to my mixes as this series is no longer available. 

I made this mix for Loop Dreams specially for my creative family. I’m always keen to find chill out mixes for my own art practice. Since we’re in lock down I thought I put together an alleviating mix filled with lullabies. I mixed ambient, Smooth Jazz, instrumental hip hop and R&B with the likes of: Oumuo Sangare, Bill Evans, Hiroshi Suzuki, Other Joe, Ras G, Erika de Casier & Hello Sailor just to name a few.

It’s recommended for home activities such as cooking, yoga, reading, art making and love making. Smoother than silk...

Fresh off the flight from an extensive Asia-tour, Telephones return with a peek-in-the-bag special with favourite digs and finds from the far eastern crates. A fine dose of balearic, streetsy soul, deep house, and naturally a fair amount of Japanese leftfield pop. Konnichiwa!

Shouts to @raphael-top-secret and @sanctuary3 for intel! <3

BIO
Starborough has been involved in the Westcoast Sound of Holland scene around Cybernetic Broadcasting System and IntergalacticFM for almost 20 years, organising parties, hosting radioshows and running the now defunct Radio Galaxia channel for IntergalacticFM. With his broad selection of classic house, electro and disco tracks he rocked dancefloors throughout the Netherlands. He played online for various online stations and podcasts, but most importantly: IntergalacticFM. Starborough’s carefully constructed deejaysets combine the swing of soul and funk with the mechanical push of house and electro, with some Italian melancholy thrown in for good measure.

Tornado Wallace B2B Telephones All Night Long @ Savage, Hanoi - 01.11.24

Havn't figure out exactly where this was recorded yet, probably a party in SF

live DJ set Sept 1996

"Building this mix with recent dancefloors and memorable dancers in mind. The result is a a condensed representation of a peak time set you might find me play recently. Full of new and old records i've been enjoying recently in clubs and festivals. 

It starts with a 40 mins build up of rolling, rhythmic and consistent early 00s tech house tracks, leading up into an intentional 30 minute final flurry of good feeling inducing 90s ravey lifters. I'm really happy how it turned out, and maybe some of these records slip into my set at Multi Multi."

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 21: Mark Gill

Leland kept finding new life. This second set of remixes moves the album into new directions. Matthew Herbert takes “Lostfound” apart and rebuilds it twice over, Black Light Smoke lights a fire under it with restless sounds and Steve Bug changing it into a deep tune.

I-F at Dekmantel Selectors 2018

Australian Lauren Hansom has the sort of expansive and immersive sound that makes her a perfect fit for a range of settings. She’s proven this with radio shows on Red Light Radio, NTS and Worldwide FM, as well as DJ sets everywhere from Lente Kabinet to Gottwood Festival via plenty of key European clubs. As an avid vinyl collector she delves deep into unknown corners of jazz, soft pop, acid, Balearic, you name it, and stitches everything together with seamless style. 

On this week’s mix, Hansom plots a global journey through sound that serves as a perfectly tropical and exotic post—summer comedown. After starting with new age bliss and clean synth tracks, the drums take on many forms from acid to electro to garage, all with a curious future-retro feel and wide range of cultural and musical references.
