Take the edge off this grey weekday with a blissful mix by C.K. Besides having a slew of releases under his name, various aliases, and collaborative side projects soundcloud.com/ck_sounds is also known for being an integral part of soundcloud.com/regelbau, soundcloud.com/twobitcrew, and from his Safe Radio show as well as his self-run label PRS. Channeling the lush sound of Århus’s thriving Regelbau label collective he kindly spun together this podcast almost exclusively using unreleased tracks by his talented confidants. Dreamy selections kick off with gentle atmospheric ambient soundscapes that expertly transition into downtempo house before subtly shifting gears into energetic club tracks. Hop in, we're going for a ride.

'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.

So, welcome back. 

It's been a while but as you’ve heard by now from family and co-workers “its just that time of the year”.  And that it is. Life gets in the way. But all is well - we’re back - you can breathe again, or at least listen to something new whilst you’re trying to breathe. Deep from the other seasonal side we’ve got the ultimate intro to the summer frame of mind, straight from the icy, Moscow winter. Djellaba & Baffuto are responsible: a Russian/French DJ project who double as an architect and a designer. 

We don’t know much about them personally but their music speaks for itself, laden with bliss heavy rhythms, a world of world music and an encyclopedia of sounds. With that in mind, it’s hard not to see them as a perfect fit for this series. The mix in question is audibly stunning, the perfect mellow roller coaster. If you ask us it's destined for an afternoon of backyard drinking with your mates, a few well-made cocktails and the BBQ on low and slow. A great soundtrack for the car ride to the beach, but don't stop there - use it on the sand to drown out some other idiot's overbearing UEboom on low battery and high volume playing that shitty psy-gabber-pop. 

So we hereby welcome you to indulge, hit that illegal download button so you can listen to it again and again because we're hoping you’re all out there somewhere with limited reception doing as little as possible. This mix will not leave rotation for some time. 

Their words

"When we create our mixes, we try to convey a certain idea, meaning, and atmosphere. We approach music the same way as we do for architecture and design, creating a certain rhythmical content.
We've dedicated this mix to our home, Russia and Moscow and the way we perceive it. In the mix, there are several eras of our musical inspiration from trip-hop, ambient and downtempo to modern electronics. This music, which in our case has inspired us at different times over the past ten years and is associated with our home - Moscow."

@mirrens takes us everywhere through 90mins.. downtempo feelers to kwaito heaters and acid tipped tribal numbers... peer into the crate of one of Melbourne's best kept secrets.

M: "the working title for this mix is 'lockdown cathartic release' since there's definitely a bit of pent up energy going into here... so i'm hoping it also gets other people groovin' at home (in or out of iso)

lotta favs, some dope guitar licks and a few personal grails, hope you enjoy!!"

from within... Mirren

The last mix of 2020 comes from Jonah Sharp (@reflecto), electronic mainstay and part of 'Virtual Dreams' as Space Time Continuum. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome to the series Jonah. Originally from Edinburgh, San Francisco resident since 1992, do you still live in San Francisco?

JS: Actually I recently just moved back to SF after spending most of 2020 in the UK. I had planned to be in Europe for an extended break from the US but Covid saw an end to that and my plans had to change. I miss British and European culture. I have family and friends there so I intend to be back over as soon as I can!

MFM: According to your discography the majority of your output started to shape up right after you moved abroad, in '91. How would you explain this creative outburst? 

JS: Before I arrived in San Francisco i was still figuring out how to produce the music that I wanted to make so when I got here I started to collect gear in earnest - it was a little moment in time when most people thought analog synths and drums sounded shit so I managed to find a TR-909 for $150, a Roland SH101 at the flea market and so on. So yes, suddenly having some decent gear and fun gigs to play was very inspiring! I did feel a kind of creative freedom being so far from South London and the pressures of living there as an artist. SF in the 90’s was very affordable for artists and it gave us the freedom to really focus on the music.
 
MFM: You started your own label Reflective in '93 and had quite a busy release schedule, especially during '95/'96, before it suddenly seemed to stop right after. What happened? 

JS: I started Reflective in '93, the year my first son was born. Flurescence EP was my first solo release and it got noticed around the world so that enabled me to keep putting releases out. With the momentum of the Terence McKenna collab album, things were going pretty well. But what we found was that even though there are lots of amazing labels in the US, it was actually pretty hard to sell them domestically so most of our stock was exported to Europe and Japan. We ended up pressing in the UK and running the label from SF and that presented problems so I had to put the release schedule on hold. At that time I had also signed a deal with Astralwerks so had contractual obligations to deliver albums and tour. It was a very busy time and by 1997 when our second son was born we decided to take a hiatus from the label. Not to say the label is gone forever though!
 
MFM: Flurescence, now found its way to the Virtual Dreams compilation, almost 30 years later. How does it feel that your older music is being re-released and rediscovered by newer generations?

JS: I am very happy and honored to be part of the Virtual Dreams compilation. Yes, there seems to be a bit of attention for this time period of electronic music at the moment, and the chill out thing in general. With so many online resources, everything is discoverable by anyone so all those tiny labels like Reflective that were putting out small runs of 1000 records (that was a small run then) are maybe enjoying some retroactive attention now. 
 
MFM: Does this new interest change your motivation and/or inspiration in the studio maybe?

JS: I follow my own interests and direction when it comes to making music but reaching new audiences has to gratify the artist whose work was made for sharing. My development as an electronic musician has come through thirty years of studio experimentation, initially with hardware and then incorporating digital software. When I made Fluorescence in 1993 there was no computer in my studio, but by the early 2000s San Francisco was the epicenter of computer innovation, people like my friend Josh Clayton were writing amazing software and so I went off on a long exploratory trip to integrate digital technology both in my studio and in my live rig. My aim right now in the studio is the same as always: make sounds and keep the good ones.
