After living in Berlin for 3 years I finally decided to deal with the records I'd left in storage back in California. I ended up saving about 200 12"s/records/LPs and about 35/40 7"s and bringing them back with me.

I thought it would be a fun exercise to make a mix as I listened back to stuff I haven't heard in a while. This is that exercise (with only 7"s). No real agenda, just hit record and started playing some things. Hope you enjoy :)

Recording of Rabih Beaini's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"After a year break, returning to Tisno's famed Voodoo Stage for the annual 3 hours craze was emotional. The late afternoon vibe building up into the darkness is a unique moment where the music shifts naturally, you could sense the tension in the air growing into a trance shared both by myself and the crowd. In the craziness of a wild selection, there were moments of joy, and trust."

Recording of Jay Glass Dubs' set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"Playing at Selectors after all this time of looking at my screen was a blessing that came in the form of a drizzle in the opening notes of Laurie Spiegel's Patchwork and intensified as I was jamming tunes by Birmingham's finest UB40 to Tricky, heavy steppers and Sherwood dubs. Can't forget the smiling faces there, entangled in a blissful embrace of an afternoon summer rain."

Recording of Tala Drum Corps' set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"My set at Dekmantel Selectors was an experience I will never forget. To be able to play my favourite music out loud with a dancing crowd after 1,5 year of nothingness, stress and mental exhaustion was something special. Very very grateful to the Dekmantel Crew and The Garden to have been part of this amazing festival. Thanks!"

Based in Berlin Ruin is a writer, vocalist, activist and sex worker. She is passionately independent and is a founding member of the Sex Worker Action Group, Berlin Collective Action e.V and Radiant Love Berlin. 

We were first introduced to her through the release of a new EP in which she collaborated with D.Tiffany and Vani-T on Isla Records. Her contribution to the record allowed for her to reach and interconnect with a new audience, showcasing her own creative perspective toward lyricism, sound and design.

She herself was keen to explore this part of her nature in more detail and emphasises the importance of her and other sex workers amplification and inclusion in the wider music community. The following mixtape she has submitted is conceptual in nature and reflects the following ethos:

"It's not often that I am invited to participate in such a formate with a reach to the music community. I think it is incredibly important that we start to include sex workers in the conversation, not only because of stigma and raising awareness of their struggles but because of the incredible amount of exploitation of sex work aesthetic and vibe within the music industry 'the hustle'. Some think it's sick but existing in capitalism is harmful and violent and this is what I want to express. Do I like my work? no. I don't enjoy existing in capitalism, but furthermore sex workers are not only judged for the way we choose to survive within it but criminalised. And legalisation without decriminalisation is nothing, because it only regulates a very small amount of the community that can register. Being a sex worker becomes your identity, something that I could have never prepared myself for.

I would like to use this mix, What's your nature?, with two themes sewn throughout, almost as a collage. The themes I have chosen to speak about in my writing are pain/stigma & decriminalisation of sex work. The newly released record 'Calling Me' will be featured throughout the mix along with other collaborations, and some tones to accompany my writing."

Ruin: The 'What's Your Nature?' Mix

As the summer falls upon us and we resume some sense of normality (and busy chaos) in our lives, it's so important to stop for a moment, take some time for ourselves, and just listen. This beautiful ambient journey from @soft_s is exactly the mid-week elixir we need right now. @soft_s is my lovely friend Sacha, a Melbourne/Naarm local who not only has impeccable music taste but also a talented illustrator & artist. You can check out her beautiful designs here! - http://sachalovell.com

Thank you so much for this lovely mix Sacha <3

About the Original
More than music: A soul-coded transmission of remembrance, crafted to awaken, heal, and transform your life. It is a luminous and haunting debut—a sonic constellation of play, grief, wonder, and spiritual power. 

With harp, rap, orchestral textures, subtle electronics, layered vocals, and poetic precision, Shyralee weaves a deeply emotional experience that feels at once ancient and intimate. It is an evolution in music invoking seven layers of activation. Which makes it a living, breathing soul technology.

About the remix
This remix immerses the listener in a sonic journey, staging a battle between spiritual energy and dystopian technology. The track opens with the serene chimes of meditative rituals, creating a tranquil space before descending into a gritty, distorted soundscape.

Piercing through the industrial haze, Shyralee’s vocals emerge crisp and refreshingly clear. Her voice acts as a powerful beacon, a constant reminder that the future is not predetermined—the choice of how we live remains firmly in our hands.
