'Music They Love'... we ask DJ's and producers to delve into their collection and put together a selection of records that have meant a lot to them in the past, as well as the present. All things inspirational and influential - the records which have shaped their sound as a producer or selection as a DJ.

This week we are joined by the super talented party starter, DJ and producer @d-tiffany 💕 Her records are always a firm favourite of customers at the shop, as well as with us (we've still got her collab release with @regfant on repeat)! 

She provides us with a bass-heavy mix to see us all through until the clubs reopen. Turn. This. One. All. The. Way. Up. 🔊

D. Tiffany's latest release with @roza-terenzi is available to order now: https://www.coldcutshotwax.uk/products/tapestry-of-sound-roza-terenzi-d-tiffany-tapestry-of-sound

D. Tiffany // Music They Love #60

To guide us through the next simulated experience; Passing Notes Radio boss and 1/2 of the great new label ‘Companion', Pjenné [Melbourne, AUS], shows us what a utopian existence can sound, feel and look like.

Follow on as she glides through the stratosphere, looking down on the lush greenery and crystal water that our earth effortlessly inhabits... occasionally looking up into the vast display of distant stars and planets, glittering across the stillness of outer space.

Pjenné beautifully illustrates the phenomenology of nature through tracks which touch on each element, whether that be the ethereality of air, the intricacy of water, the depth of earth, or just the pure warmth flowing through this immaculately thought-out audible narrative.

We couldn’t help but think this would be the perfect soundtrack for the day peace on earth is declared, where humanity sits back and appreciates a new world— where collectively, we love what grows, exists and dies.

This small blue dot is our home… our balanced oasis in the desert of space. Perhaps we need the ability to fly to see a different perspective - and we’re sure this will help.

Close your eyes and drift into your own self.

Enjoy, and thankyou Pjenné

Welcome Sean La’Brooy to the BSRMIX!

So happy to have our dear friend Sean La’Brooy offer us this soothing mix out of the blue from his new home in New York. The co-founder of Analogue Attic Recordings (with Alex Albrecht) has long been pleasing our ears with a unique blend of improvisational jazz inspired ambient recordings and live sessions. All that and more can be heard in this one hour beauty, and if you're not satisfied there check out his brand new album ‘Out Moving Windows’ on Analogue Attic. Enjoy!

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.

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.

Montreal-based DJ, producer and label owner Francis Latrielle, better known as Priori, joins us for the 79th edition of the Phonica Mix Series.

Priori has become a firm favourite of ours here at Phonica over the past couple of years. His releases, which crossover through many electronic genres, from house and techno to IDM and ambient, have been picked up by such labels as Echovolt and Dust E-1’s Dust World in recent years, although much of his musical output, including his phenomenal 2019 album, ‘On A Nimbus’, comes via his own label, NAFF, which he co-runs with fellow Montrealer Ex-Terrestrial.

Head on over to Off The Record to check out the full feature, including an interview, where we talked about his past, present, and future plans, life in lockdown, Montreal’s music scene, and more. Enjoy!
