Well, that was a weird couple of months. Apologies for the lack of transmissions but I’m sure everyone understands the complete lack of motivation and inspiration that has been cast across the world. That being said, it hasn’t slowed everyone down that's for sure. I’m completely backed up with incredible mixes from incredible people, so let’s get back to our original program. 

In celebration of such, we’re excited to return with a (gentle) bang in the form of episode 60, via the incredibly talented Kia. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (which is completely understandable) you would’ve noticed Kia’s light in many facets; an incredibly talented DJ, a passionate and dedicated label boss, and associated mix series runner (big ol tip’o’that to Animalia // link below), woolen based wunderkind, and most importantly a fucking lovely human being. 

And if you do know Kia then as you would expect, her submission to the series is nothing short of breathtaking. A perfectly constructed soundscape, daydreaming of an above-average paradise. Emotionally inciting on all fronts, it’s nice to feel things again and I think this is perfectly timed with the world opening back up again. The subtly rhythmic pulses of 4x4 drums reactivating that lost sense of liberating yourself on the dance floor (finally back in our sights) and the ethereal harmonies that keep you grounded on the bedroom floor. What Kia manages to do in an hour is exceptional, a short story that translates to a full novel, a true testament to her talent and understanding of music and all of the concepts that go with it. Best served through headphones with room to move.

Enjoy it every way you can. 
 
I hope you’re all well and thank you for listening. 
 
Love.

So, here we are again, partaking in part-time life with a part-time attitude. Who’s up for a little break? God knows we all need one. Considering how chaotic things are at the moment I think it's time we get a bit of respite in our lives, in the form of an audible vacation. Sit back, sip an imaginary cocktail on a fictional deckchair, on the deck of a mythical cruise ship.
The captains of this cruise are Chomley, the terrible twosome, on their never-ending quest to make your life that little bit better. 

The Naarm based duo are fluent in fairytales, putting the mind at ease and your feet to good use, weaponising their talents across all different types of dance floors. Their mix’s hit every single time and this one hits hardest of all. 

I think I’ve (subconsciously) kept this mix to myself, because I find it so special. I’ve had to snap myself out of the greed and let the world experience the profound beauty of the 4 hours that follow, after a click of the play button. It truly encapsulates the aesthetic of FHUO and then transcends it; A mood for every day of the week, uncovered gems in every playthrough, truly a gift that will keep on giving long into the future.

This mix has been my rock for the past few months now. 
Things are pretty dicey out there, and this has been pure solace, a sense of romantic respite in such a chaotic time. 

Alas, no longer should this be enjoyed by me solely, it’s time for you to take the plunge. 

You’re welcome. 

Stay kind. X

Come one, come all, or don’t come at all but for those still paying attention, we have another treat for your senses. An aura fortifying frequency courtesy of relatively new Naarm local, DJ Possum aka Jolie. Skip the night out and extend the night in. 

Possum has worked hard to infiltrate the local scene and it’s starting to pay off, her take on all things music is fresh.  you can’t pigeonhole her style or genre. Her ability to play anything from serendipitous street soul to float tank techno is inspiring to say the least. The podcast she did with fellow FHUO hero Myles Mac (MDC #265) is absolute perfection (in my top 10 mixes of last year). I’m really looking forward to seeing where her trajectory takes her. 

Every time I listen to this mix I get this overwhelming sense of a good friend taking you by the hand and guiding you through their own life experiences, scene by scene, song by song.  Every movement has a feeling attached. A much needed reminder to feel all that you can, healing the weird emotional callus built up over the last two years. A guided tour at the perfect altitude, weaving in and out of atmospheric pressure systems, a trip truly worth taking as many times as possible. 

See for yourself. 

Her words >>>> 
“There are a few elements floating here.. the mix is composed mostly of psychedelic electronica sounds mostly from the the 70's, 80's & 90's of musicians and composers that I think are sublime. 

In sound aesthetics, nothing can top this sound for me. It's so touching, it forces you to go inside, it forces you to feel small in space, kinda like space dust, and to me this is the true definition of freedom. At times gravity pulls you down from space into your gene pool, your body. 

On a parallel path to this idea, I made this mix thinking about my mom and dad because it is truly an offer to them for my upbringing. They made what was truly a war zone into a magical place, taking us four kids out of the concrete jungle and giving us instead the sky and nature, recalibrating us. My dad was a star gazer and I watched the stars with him at nights until he passed away when I was 11. My mom is my spirit animal, a true contemporary philosopher. They both live in this mix because I connected them once again here.”

As the cold hits harder than ever before, it’s ever more important to add another layer, both mentally and physically. This audio guide is a sure way to light that fire. Walter Saint is the person in question, a man with a firm grip on the axe, dropping trees to fuel this warm sojourn. 

Walter Saint aka Connor Mackenzie grew up on Gadigal land, it’s where he sharpened his axe, and after a trip to the UK (to sharpen his axe further) he’s back in Eora (thanks covid). Whilst abroad, he caught the ear of London based ‘Bloop’ radio’s director and was quickly made a part of the team, taking up a role as editor and his own show on the channel, dubbed  ‘pacific house’ (TIP!) which keeps him busy to this day.  Now back in Eora full time and making moves on this giant chess board we call life, he’s carving his own way through his masterful approach to DJ’ing as well as working his ass off on a release coming later this year, and damn, this mix is sensational; further proving the hard work Connor has put in over the years, and what he’s truly capable of. 

Personally, I feel as though Walter has gone through my life with a shopping trolley and picked out all the premium produce that has soundtracked all the ups and downs for as far back as I can remember. So many damn hits that bait random emotions back into existence, and I know I’m not alone in this. There’s something special in here that’s going to make everyone feel something, and chances are, that it’s going to be closely related to (thesaurus: ecstasy, hope, elation, bliss, etc). 
The talent displayed in weaving this tapestry is another story all together. Beautifully natural in every way, all these tracks fit together so perfectly that one day they will base puzzles on it. The pure essence of cafe del mar brought back to life in such a spectacular way. Go buy a bag of beach sand from Bunnings, light up a shitty coconut candle and mix up a Margarita, then press play, I-BEE-FAH.

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Music is an anchor in life, useable in any if not every scenario to shift or change your current mood. It's something that you have complete control of (unless you’re in someone else’s car), this control, I find is somewhat taken for granted every now and then and I think in this strange time of our lives it's very important to take control of what you can. Speaking of control, it's something our next guest has mastered, A Naarm favourite Bex. 

Hard work, dedication, and a belief in one's self are the holy trinity to the path of evolution, All of these factors Bex has mastered. Through years and years of commitment to her craft, Bex has steeled herself amongst her peers and their dance floors, forever increasing her orbit and her listeners inside of it. Encompassing the pure aesthetics of Dj’ing (an understanding of rhythm and how people react to it), she has cemented herself as a staple DJ all across Naarm as well pushing the same ethos with her own party series “Spincycle” (HOT TIP!!). She’s here to stay and it fills me with confidence for the future. 

The mix itself beautifully encompasses the very thing I’ve set out to explore, the other side. For someone who is consistently filling dance floors, you can tell Bex has done herself justice in reaching into her musical peripherals and wholeheartedly enjoyed doing it. Ecstatic trips into euphoria electronica, A consistent theme explored in its whole, done masterfully. Computer-generated soul at its finest, using BPM as a narrative tool, she takes us on a trip through her own mind, leaving no stone unturned. After countless play-throughs, I still find little details that excite me, her technical skills on full display for the world to see. A perfect summary of Bex herself. Enjoy it every way you can. 

Her words >>>> "when I was making the mix I was kind of thinking it was like a bit of a love story. It has lots of songs that have been prominent in my past relationships and lots of songs about love and with love in the title. It’s a bit of a story of the history of love (and heartbreak)"

I think it’s about time we have some fun. Introspective alone time has its (very important) place and benefits, but sometimes you want to share life’s experiences with the people you hold dear. These life happenings always need a soundtrack to go with it, and we’ve got just the medicine. A beautifully curated love from the likes of DJ Luv you… A soaring star in the Naarm landscape, a magician of sorts; One that’s particularly exceptional at pulling ‘the good’ out of thin air. 

A master of their own story arc, putting in nothing but hard work and devotion to the art of selection. A DJ mainstay across the board, playing all types of ear sweeteners, their ability to adapt to any dance floor (and now any living room) is unparalleled, nailing the holy trinity of Naarm soundscapes ~club~radio~wine-bar. If you haven’t caught them yet at any of the aforementioned venues then put it on the top of your list, or listen to their countless, incredible mixes online (link below) 

If I haven’t convinced you yet of the sheer talent that they possess, this mix will do the talking for me. A serendipitous spin across time and continents whilst never missing a beat. The fact that this whole thing is mixed (perfectly) still blows my mind, even after 17 listens. I can only imagine the time and mind mapping the mix would’ve taken, but well worth every tedious second. Such an eclectic selection of tracks all with a thread of rhythm gently woven through them. So much future nostalgia compressed into an impressive 3 hour sojourn. A perfect accompaniment for a dinner party with friends evolving into dancing in the garden, all you need to do is figure out who’s hosting. Go forth, press play, have fun.

Wellll shiiiiiiiiit, look here, motherfucking Mosam Howieson is in the building. About time, you say? Yes, you’d be right to ask, but you’re asking the wrong question, more like, what is time? Don’t stress, it’s merely a measuring device that the entire human civilisation revolves around. Anyway, Mos is here to teach you a thing or two about time and what you can do with it. 

I’ve been lucky enough to know Mos for many years. A true gentleman in the game, forever polite and tremendously respectful. A man of many talents, and most revolve around providing for the people. A culinary cowboy by day and dance floor destroyer by night, his exceptional work ethic shining through in both forms. Mos’ production has slowly but surely infiltrated ears across the globe, labels worldwide have been picking up what Mos has been putting down, and we’re better off for it. Mos' live performances are a full-body experience, from ground-breaking ambient soundscapes to rafter-breaking post-primitive drum loops, something to add to that bucket list of yours, whilst waiting patiently for his new album coming out later this year.  For those of you that don’t know Mos, this is the perfect place to start. 

Following with the theme of time, I think Mos has completely encapsulated his existence on this earth through this mix. You can hear him in his different stages of life and all the soundtracks that came with it. From hovering over a tape deck recording tracks straight from the radio, getting up early watching video hits, burning CDs on friend's computers, weeklong mp3 downloads from lime wire riddled with viruses on the family computer, all the way up to the first-time he downloaded fruity loops and set himself on this path, it’s all here and we’ve been invited along for the ride. All of this music holds such a special place in my heart as I was on a parallel path of musical enlightenment (except my productions never made it past a 4x4 loop on a cracked version of fruity loops) a musical diary if you will, filled with ideas, aspirations, and heartache, complete with dogged ears, doodles and torn out pages. On behalf of the people listening, thank you Mos. 

Keep it as real as you can. X

As the world tosses and turns, continuously coping with loss and burns, we continue to take and churn. It’s a full-time job living inside of a bubble, inside of a bubble, but we do it well, and boy is it nice here. Let’s take a moment and appreciate the space we have created for ourselves and the people that make that possible, one of those people for me is our next guest, Maryos Syawish, one half of Sleep D, f.k.a Sleepy Dino, and one of the founding member’s of Butter Sessions Records. 



I think the best place to start with Maryos is at the beginning, the beginning being the one love forums (tip of the hat;)) "frAnk" (cannot disclose real name due to legal issues) as he was called used to trawl the forums like he was Tank from the matrix, collecting every bit of vital information (I.e peak 08 -10 bangers), which would ultimately set him on his path to musical enlightenment and thus creating the foundations of the omnipresent ‘Butter Sessions’. Bringing underground Australian electronic music not only into the present but pushing it forward into the future. Where we used to follow, we now lead. Watching Maryos go from strength to strength over the last 15 years has been nothing short of inspirational, the amount of work Maryos and Corey (the other member of Sleep D/Butter sessions) have put into refining their craft and creating something truly amazing. Butter Sessions has been such an incredible platform for the Australian scene, carving out a place for all of us to call home, championing the local scene on a worldwide stage. They’ve come a long way from train-wrecking mixes at miss libertines all those years ago. Amazingly, Maryos has stayed humble this whole time, weird I know, but I’ve tested it time and time again. In an effort to fully embody the idea of being an artist, Maryos sunk himself into the graphical element in a heavy way, through pure ‘fuck around and find out’ he has established his own way of doing things via album artwork, poster design, logo development, and even sculpture work, and no one should be surprised that his work is beyond exceptional (I know sweet fuck all about art, but I do know what I like). Maryos’ star will continue to shine bright for many years to come and I cannot wait to see all the multifaceted fruitions. 



Keeping with the theme of ‘exceptional constructs of site and sound’ Maryos has delivered an interstellar submission. Fully embracing his middle eastern roots through a modern bypass and technical finesse, producing something that truly taps straight into the soul. Layers upon layers of perfectly structured sonic explorations, laced with haunting vocals and rhythm-based static, resulting in this beautifully melancholic love letter from the other side of the world. The mix dips and trip’s in and out of consciousness via waves of absolute hypnotism to put you under, then come the big hits from reality-driven synths to bring you back up for air. Maryos has created something truly powerful and moving here and it’s an honour to be able to bring this into the world. This is the point you take the red pill (not the one with the Mitsubishi logo on it).

Be kind to yourself. X

I hope this finds you well, and well, I hope this finds you. Apologies for the extended hiatus, I've been busy baking my brain. Alas, I return with an exceptional offering from the sonic god aka Ricci aka The godson of Naarm aka the holy one aka the DJ’s DJ aka the BPM prophet, the list goes on and on. Heading in a very alt route this time around, instead of seeing him behind the decks we’re taking a glimpse of what’s behind his eyes… A beautifully romanticised chaoticness, strewn together with the delicate thread of the unknown, resulting in one of the most fascinating ambient canvases that I've ever wrapped my ears around. A complex musical mosaic of thought-out sounds, shapes, and textures, a full introspective layered with an incredible amount of detail, the closest thing you’ll get to a reverse lobotomy. Take a few deep breaths in and out before pushing play on this one, perfect for a sunrise or a sunset.

As our trajectory accelerates head-first into another year, it’s more important than ever to slow down and catch your breath. As automatic as that may seem, I’m talking more about the metaphorical meaning of breath aka a self-imposed moment of peace and quiet. To comprehend such a thing nowadays it’s crucial to have a soundtrack, and this episode of FHUO from the Daisy Records crew is the perfect accompaniment to refill the oxygen tanks. Frankifettucini & Obelix have created something truly special in this two-hour time frame, a magical trip through the sky, hopping from cloud to cloud, chasing a never-ending sunset. 

This mix is a true masterclass in immersion, which is what you would expect from two music nuts who run an incredible record store, as well as releases under the Daisy Records sub-label and curated events that really showcase what Naarm has to offer. They get it, and so will you after you listen to this. Enlightenment at its absolute finest, lose yourself then proceed to find yourself. See you on the other side.

Well, it’s been a little while (350,400 minutes to be exact) since we last caught up. Life has its way of throwing curveballs, but here we are. And today, we’re diving into the musical world of Marli—Melbourne-born, Paris-based, feet-stomper, head-bopper, and all-around magical force who’s perfected the art of the irresistible thump.

Over the past few years, Marli’s star has undoubtedly risen, and it’s been an absolute joy to witness. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring, earned through sheer hard work and dedication.

Now, let’s talk about this mix. Marli has absolutely crushed it. She’s given us a glimpse into the creative depths of her mind, stepping away from the typical dancefloor energy and exploring the broader spectrum of sound. The mix is a quixotic, romantic fever dream, woven together with off-kilter rhythms, ethereal alt-R’n’B, mind-bending ambience, and world-spanning soundscapes. Every twist and turn is soft and inviting, wrapping you in a warm embrace you won’t want to escape from.

Enjoy.

Alas! We’re still alive (whatever that means) and still here (wherever you are). Returning from the far edges of the cosmos-via the duty-free shop-we bring an audible delicacy to share. People of Earth, Fefe has arrived, and you should be both honoured and excited.

An introduction stitched with the very fabric of time and space, Fefe offers a love letter that strikes straight at the heart-lifting happiness by at least 50-60%.

After years orbiting the Sydney underground DJ'ing, throwing parties, and helming the record store Something Else (RIP), Dave Stuart returns with a transmission from the depths. A lifetime spent behind the counter and behind the decks distilled into one anesthetic adventure. 

This mix unfolds like a cosmic swamp, thick with murky warmth and shimmering reflections of dub-soaked techno ambience. It’s the sound of future cities submerged, signals bending through fog, and echoes of dancefloors long past still pulsing somewhere beneath the surface.

A futuristic fever dream rendered in delay and dust. Patient, textural, and strangely intimate.

This really is for home use only.

Switch off the lights, and let it ripple through.

I honestly can’t believe we’ve made it to number 20, obviously, you’re all still listening for some weird reason, I hope its the same reason I’m still putting out the mixes. 

it fills me with immense joy to bring you number twenty by way of DJ Regret aka Unfettered aka captain jack sparrow aka the dreadlocked dreidel aka Scott Levy not reddy. This bloke has been one of the driving forces in my musical life, especially in the birth of the concept of this whole series. He has delivered a beautiful journey just shy of 4 hours. As mentioned before Scott has been a musical compass for me for last 15 years, consistently being ahead of curve, actually he creates the curves every year his set from Inner Varnika will be echoed throughout the year through every other Melbourne DJ and spotify enthusiast. Mimicked but never reproduced. Consistently adding his beautiful compositions to the ‘Trushmix’ series by our burger brethren.

I've also been throwing parties with him for the past 10 years, we started the now-defunct Out of Focus (rip) together, he started Sound of Thought (rip) and then we went on to start Inner Varnika, I’m very happy to of shared my journey with Scott and I’m not actually sure I’d be here without him, he has and always will keep me grounded. So after months of hassling he finally shot me something, a recording from a house party some weeks ago, basic setup, a huge vibe that builds into the evening/morning recording on a shitty mixer the peaks on a few songs so please bare with it. 

On that note, turn your brightness all the way down and grab a cold beverage from the fridge and enjoy the trip!

As the old saying goes, good thing's come to those who wait. To give that statement some purchase I would like to rewind a few years. Back to before I started this thing, but just after I came up if with the concept, the person responsible for this mix was literally the second name I wrote down to ask for a submission. That person’s name was, and still is, Millú aka the mad hatter aka the silky bar kid aka the human shot glass. Millú’s importance in Melbourne has become solidified over the past few years, going from strength to strength to strength, like a skipping stone across an infinity pool, and she’s dead set (party) legend! 
 
She peaked my attention a few years ago when she played at one of the Max Graef parties at the Gaso we did (which she also helps run ~ bless) and she has firmly kept my attention since. Watching her do her thing, which in turn makes the punters do their thing, is a satisfying sight to say the least. From the depths of hugs to the vast expanse of the supernatural amphitheater, her spell is easy to notice and impossible to resist. I think she’s my most shazamed DJ on the planet - I look to her for a continues source of inspiration. She’s just that fucking good and this mix proves it. 
 
Taking a holiday from the chuggy breaky bleep, she has landed in this pure heavenly mix of lounge and street soul. This instantly takes me back to the good old days of the early 2000’s trip hop phase, (K & D sessions eat your heart out) which is like a pure bliss time machine for me - taking me back to a simpler time, with an air of arrogance attached to a clueless teenager (me), Millú aurally takes me on a beautiful trip down memory lane (which I’m sure will touch anyone who pays this mix a single bit of attention). Perfectly blended like the best milkshake you’ve ever had, perfectly executed like the best dive in Olympic history.

Hopefully my grandchildren will listen to this mix as much as you’re about to. 

Stay warm and stay well. xoxo

p.s Thanks for listening.

To the dedicated few and the newly dedicated, this is a celebration laced with appreciation. The cause for this - we’ve reached a modern-day milestone. We’ve made it to 30 (which is a total of about 3 in podcast years). Honestly, I never thought I'd make it to 30, but I soon came to realise how much good music is out there, and how I should use my powers for good rather evil, so here we are. 

For this momentous occasion, we have a very fitting transmission. Something that he and I have been working towards for the last two years. The man responsible for an audible gift from the gods is none other than Andy Hart himself, aka the slug face millionaire aka choices from the lake aka undies. I call Andy not only a good friend but also a good inspiration, a good breath of fresh country air, a good dose of realism and just a flat out good person. I’ve lived with him, I’ve traveled with him and I’ve shared more than a towel with him. I can comfortably say that Andy will be at my wedding, my funeral and everything in between. 

This mix is the perfect summary of the journey so far. I'd like to think we’ve explored quite a lot over the last couple of years, and I'd also like to think that there’s so much more out there. This perfectly woven galactic tapestry transcends every aspect that you think you know about most things and rewrites the rest. The culmination of many years of putting tracks aside has paid off immensely. The thought and the planning behind this mix actually baffle’s me. It’s the perfect narrative without the narrative, a story without words, a tale of triumph. I may sound a bit dramatic but you obviously haven’t listened to it yet. Just shy of 4 hours, this is the perfect soundtrack to your life in general. It transcends not only stages of the day but also stages of your mind. I'm yet to find the perfect moment/space to listen to it but I think a long drive back from a really good holiday would fit perfectly - or just a cruisey Sunday spring afternoon at home. 

Honestly, just press play and see what happens. 

Come talk to me after. 

Be well.

Let’s lift dem spirits! let’s make being indoors fun again. A new ISO soundtrack to smash your head against the wall too, to reorganise your room too, to clean the fridge too, to pretend to work from home too, to do yoga in your cramped living room too. Actually fuck it, this is to have fun too. Fill up your cup and turn the volume up. 

the provider of the prozac is none other DJ Earl Grey, a real ‘leave the bag in’ type operator, Sydney’s own steezelord, A bitta Rimbombo royalty. A gentleman, a scholar and all round top notch human. 

This mix absolutely slaps. A contagious neck jerker, A Friday after work special, just some straight up feel good shit, which is exactly what we need right now. Be prepared to wear out the play button.

Welcome back, or is it welcome forth? Who knows anymore, but thank the gods for one of the constant’s in our lives and that’s music.  This perfectly timed episode celebrates the essence of ‘Saudade’ aka the act of missing aka the art of longing aka the aesthetic of nostalgia aka romanticised melancholy, bought to you by the newly appointed master in this domain, Sophie McAlister aka the Nutri Bullet. 

Coming from the ever-fresh stables of Naarm’s own ‘Crown Ruler’ *tip’s the hat*, Sophie is the absolute embodiment of a disc jockey, she’s mastered the art of the casual coasting between genre’s in the form of liquid precision. As most good deej’s, she happily works at a record store (whattup Northside), picking the cream before the public can get their dirty hands on it, (god I miss having a dig), then continues to rub it in the face of the public by playing them across multiple venues around Melbourne and even has the audacity to tease them on a few radio shows. The only thing that matches her talent is her character, a legend to boot. 

Now, the important part, the mix. This thing, this short segment of your life, is a thing of pure beauty. From the very first chord I instantly fell in love, and that love grows exponentially throughout those 94 minutes and 34 seconds. The deeply rooted romance is absolutely sublime throughout, perfect spring picnic soundtrack with the people you love. A transcendent trip around the world all within the comfort of your own mind. It’s such a welcomed breath of fresh air in this suffocating climate. Prepare to listen to it over and over. 

Take some time to take care of yourself. Be well.

Good day / G’day / I hope this next mix finds you well / how about some precedented times for once! Interpret that as you please. Whatever your poison, it’s time for another dose and the doctor is in. It's with an absolutely full heart that I present to you the next chapter in the ‘stay the fuck home experience’. Our esteemed guest is none other than Mr. Naarm Deepcast himself, Myles Mac, aka a tall glass of water aka captain cloud aka Mt. Killa’dancefloor’o. Literally one of the OG immovable chess pieces of the Melbourne scene. Responsible for bringing Oz music up to date and into the future through the Melbourne Deepcast // TIP!! (for which I owe a lot to in many ways) and for bringing the world to us through a multitude of platforms and ideals thrown together across nearly every venue in Melbourne. For all his merits he’s still remained a very humble dude, he has all the time in the world for others and their harebrained schemes. Myles will gladly lend his ear to munted punter’s telling the same story for the third time, just a bloody good all-rounder, you could take him from kick-ons straight to meet the parents and they would best mates within the hour. I've had the pleasure of knowing Myles for about ten years now and seeing what he’s done and how he’s done it has been a pleasure to watch, he’s paved the way for many a DJ, myself included.

So, you’d think with all this experience in Dj’ing, running parties, and curating one of the better mix series in this audible world that he’d be able to produce a stunning mix that really highlights his knowledge of all of the above and the human psyche in response to those avenues, well, you’re correct. The mix is absolutely sublime. I couldn’t think of a better soundtrack for the introduction to hot weather, pool hangs, spritz’, warm nights, long drives down the beach (which we can now do), and whatever else you associate with summer. The mix itself is an audio-guided tour through a perfectly curated exhibition, gently carrying through from room to room, subtle nods in every direction but with subconscious overarching narrative tying everything together. This is achieved through the lost art of DJ’ing. Scientists say that these “disk jockey’s” would spend years searching for special types of recorded music for which they would then “blend” together on some “banging sound system” to the public to create moments of pure euphoria. This mix will end up in museums as a perfect example of that so people can really understand how their parents met. Anyway, the mix is laden with nostalgia, a 90’s head wet dream, continuously cementing a smile on your face and the overwhelming urge to nod your head. Pack some lunch for this trip, an extended hike through the mind of Myles Mac. This is your cue to stop reading and press play.

Just a quick tip’o’the’hat to Melbourne Deepcast, we, the people would like to thank you for the years of service. (Hopefully, I can finally submit something I’m happy with, in the next 100 years) 

Bless up. Stay as real as possible. Apply sunscreen to your mates back. 

Me: (in blue speech bubble) 

	You got any words you wanna say on the mix? No worries if not

	I've got plenty

Myles Mac: (in grey speech bubble) 

	Haha yeh you go for it 

	Basically wanted to make a 90s chillout mix 

	It’s almost all 90s records except maybe one or 2

	Inspired by old mixes by Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton (Global Communication), The Big Chill Festival, LTJ Bukem, and the likes 

Could also add to the list Dubtribe, The Primitive Painter, Andrew Weatherall 

Me:
	Done

Myles Mac:

	Sick 😇

Well Well, welcome back. Open arms hug. Stern Handshake. Slight bow. High five (eyes locked on each other’s elbow). Pat on the back. Kiss on the cheek. Warm embrace. All the things we’ve missed are now awkward parts of life that we must get used to again. However, one thing that eternally remains is the need for a fucking good mix to bump, and boy has Chico G delivered (as if he wouldn’t?!?!). Chico has summoned his esteemed vibe smith abilities on this one, dishing out nothing but head jerkers and neck workers. 

Chico, Chico, Chico, a multifaceted diamond in the rough. The man can do no wrong. Seeing him go from strength to strength over the last however many years has been an absolute delight. Whether it is curating your tastebuds or your earbuds, he’s done everything with a certain pizzazz that only he can muster up. A consistent testament to his character is the never-ending hard work he puts into Skylab Radio, which almost single-handedly floats Melbourne's love for good music. He’s established himself as a bit of a cultural cornerstone in Melbourne and we’re all for it. This is just a friendly reminder of what Chico can do when he’s able to step back from his other duties and get behind the decks. 

Now for the important part; the finely curated musical selection, poetically arranged. This mix absolutely slaps, guaranteed 100% good vibrations. From the very start when you hear Missy Elliot singing her piece you know you’re in good hands. Classic after classic, beautifully strung together like washed-up shells around a surfer's neck. This will be one of those ‘forever’ mixes you keep on a USB that your grandkids will find in 70 years' time and unearth some old laptop, which will ultimately lead to Rush Hour repressing it onto a traditional compact disc and Chico doing hologram sets at pizza joints around the world. 

Enough bullshit. Just listen to it.

be good.
