all mixes

A tender collection of gentler moments, decanted delicately and paired with those who are entwined in the finer comforts of time:⁣

Partially recorded on a humid Birak evening in Walyalup and completed by Boorloo’s own Basic Mind, Episode 18 captures an exploration of tender warmth and repose. 

Pop on the kettle and join us as we sink on into the next two hours of mental recumbence. 

Lots of Love,

Tim & Cam x

LA based photographer Father Hickey compiles some of his most treasured finds that frequent his head and often exit the sleeve. Hickey's interest in records commenced around his youth; scoping YouTube for samples to make Hip Hop beats as affording wax was out of reach. This mix contains some of the cuts that will be making their way on to Big Nice - a record label he is launching this summer carrying Jazz-Funk and Rare-Groove, sifted from 45s of the 70s and 80s. The project is dedicated to recovering, preserving, and presenting the unique and quietly sensational sounds in music that spanned the second half of the 20th century.

Headphone Magic - Hot Summer Soul Mix (Slack's 24/06/22)

This fifth episode is provided by the artist/DJ Brandon McMahon, straight from Phoenix, AZ, USA. For this episode, Brandon delivers nearly an hour of flawless, carefully selected AOR music.
I've been wanting Brandon to record a mix for this show for quite a while, and I'm super glad to finally introduce you to this brillant mix. If you like this one, I seriously encourage you to follow Brandon's work on the excellent Bristol radio based NOODS with his show "Horizons", as well as his other shows on NTS, Radio Nova and his work for New Commute.

RA/OI ☯ RADIO ~ Brandon McMahon ~ Overnight Success

I’ve been meaning to make another volume of Geography of the Mind, a mix series dedicated to Canadian private press records for a while and I finally had the time to put one together. This time I’ve focused on rock in its many iterations: Francophone prog, barroom jam bands, home town psychedelia, coastal pop, 4-track shoegaze and suburban new wave. These songs span decades and coastlines but converge with a shared sense of independence and emotional resonance.

PHNCST 306 - Maybe Tonight

Conjuring memories of daydreaming in the midsts of suburbia. A new mix from @priori-ties

Some words from Priori: “I grew up in a working class neighbourhood of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. Being an only child in the suburbs meant I spent a lot of time daydreaming and contemplating my environment. I was a bit of a melancholic kid so post-punk and ambient music made a lot of sense to me when I discovered them. I stumbled upon an album called Strike by 154 by accident, probably wanting to download something else off of Kazaa. It really changed things for me as a teenager and I still hold it dear. There's a song from it in the mix, along with a bunch of other things that bring up similar feelings for me.”

“As for news:
Alex (Dust-e-1) and I are putting out a new record as ANF on NAFF, should be out April 26th.
Some more collabs and solo things coming out in the summer.”

music for... growing up in the suburbs - Priori

“Influenced by Melbourne and musical experiences with a group of friends. The image of being above the clouds from flight or mountains always came back to me. I’ve been working on some new music that has a bit more energy than my most recent music but still has the laidback pads and melodies I'm drawn too. These tracks should be out in the coming months.”

@djarloski is a Melbourne based producer and DJ and definitely, one to watch - can check his recent ‘hypnosis’ release over at https://djarloski.bandcamp.com/

E2E:The mix is different from the high energy you’re known for, is there a particular environment or context you had in mind when putting it together?

KM: I wanted to make something different for you as I feel like the mixes on your site tell a story, and this is something I aim to do with my mixes (unless it's a full on club mix where I just want to make people dance). 
A theme, image or idea helps me direct the development of the mix. Sometimes when I am at home and want to relax, I watch train rides from the driver's perspective (my favourite is the Oslo to Bergen video), this has inspired a few of my previous mixes. 

Lately, I've started watching diving and submarine videos. I put on music while I watch the bubbles rise and fish come into focus and try to find something that accompanies these images. So this mix is inspired by that. Plunging underwater, diving deeper and exploring the ocean floor. I'm definitely inspired by artists like Valentino Mora, Dorisburg and basically, anyone who has played at Organik Festival in Taiwan - they have such great bookings. Also, Johanna Knutsson who plays and makes the most beautiful, understated dub techno. 

I'm always impressed by techno DJs who don't feel pressure to play anything too obvious but rather confidently lull the audience into a trance state with layers of lush textures. I'm not really a techno DJ, I usually play anything with breaks, and this mix actually isn't actually so straight-forward either, but it's definitely inspired by that idea and I love staying open to all genres and finding openings to understanding and exploring them.

E2E: Any news or projects you’re working on at the moment?

KM: My partner and I who do the Oscillate events at about blank in Berlin started a label, Oscillate Tracks, last year and our third release with Johanna Knutsson and Karen Gwyer is coming out in August! I'm absolutely in love with all the tracks and can't wait to share them with everyone.

I also just got a studio and have been focussing on production but I'm not in any rush to get anything out, just learning and experimenting at this stage which is really fun.

@earlgreyradio

E2E: Did your move to Melbourne influence the mix? 

A little bit, yes. I have been feeling particularly nostalgic lately and that probably came through in the selections. Last week, I drove from Glebe to Brunswick in a 12 seater bus with my cat Romeo. We listened to this mix together to see how it sounded on the road. Unfortunately, Romeo did not like it and he did not like much that day. 

E2E: Were there any environments or contexts that you had in mind when putting this mix together? 

As the title of your mix series suggests, music can be a wonderful accompaniment to activities. When I have watched a film that has really affected me I’ll often listen to the soundtrack for weeks after and sometimes make my own imaginary soundtrack of songs that fit with the world of the film. While I was reading Cormac McCarthy’s ‘Border Trilogy’, I wanted to find ways to stay in the novel when I wasn’t reading it. The novels are set at the southwest border of the United States and the characters spend a majority of the novels riding on horseback, often alone and usually on a quest to avenge a loss. I found myself preoccupied imagining the sort of music the characters and their horses could be listening to, riding under lonesome skies, contemplating their place in the world. 

I don’t expect that much of your audience owns or has access to a horse. Still, I hope some of them can enjoy these songs on journeys of their own. 

E2E: Any news or projects coming up with Best Effort, Ken Oath Records or Rimbombo?

Nothing is planned on the release front and my bank account implies that maybe it’s time for a bit of a break. Best Effort Dance Parties will continue every few months at Freda’s and I’m looking forward to some summer parties in Sydney with my Rimbombo buds Adi and James at the end of the year.

music for... horse and rider - DJ Earl Grey

E2E: Any particular environment or context you had in mind when recording this mix?

Myles Mac: Elaborating on the theme, I've been living down on the Mornington Peninsula for the last year or so which is home to some of Australia's coolest birdlife, recently prompting me and my girlfriend to go buy some binoculars and join the fray as amateur birdwatchers. Just from my place here, you can often see some pretty funky birds like the brightly coloured Eastern Rosellas and Rainbow Lorikeets, and we also get the odd visit from a cheeky Laughing Kookaburra looking for a quick bath. There's even a family of Wedge-tailed Eagles that circle around above. I'm sure one day they'll discover some pretty cool birds in outer space too, and I think this could be a nice soundtrack for all the interplanetary birdwatchers out there.

E2E: Any new projects you're working on or milestones with MDC? 

Myles Mac: MDC is into its 10th year now which is a bit of a trip! Just hope to continue sharing memorable listening journeys from all over the place but would like to focus a bit more on emerging locals as there are some incredible DJs down here that don't always get the recognition they should.

Will also be collaborating on a few tasty club shows with the Slow Burn crew next year which I'm quite excited about.

2019/09/08 - Eupen | Music selected by Tako, recorded live at the Heuboden / dublab Sleepless Floor at Meakusma Festival 2019.

In September 2019 the Meakusma Festival took place in Eupen / Belgium for the 4th time, celebrating the unclassifiable through music, installations and lectures. Once again dublab set up shop at the Heuboden of “Alter Schlachthof”,  commited to create a cozy safe haven for all visitors from far and near, driven by respect for each other and a mutual love for the arts. 

In this surrounding a handpicked selection of live-acts and DJs from the musical cosmos of Meakusma and dublab shared amazing music all weekend long and was embraced by a gentle and highly attentive  audience. Top times!

Tako - Live from dublab Sleepless Floor (Meakusma Festival 2019)

To celebrate our collaboration with Henry Jones (Smiling C / Further Steps) we joined forces on a mix that explores our shared interests in off-beat drum machine soul, instrumental g-funk, vernacular house, balearic IDM, and weird wave. Melodious Signals is the inaugural trip in a planned series of voyages down these outlying pathways. We couldn't be happier about working with Henry, and we're cooking up a lot of projects together that we can't wait to share.
