The Best Effort Show Episode Twenty Four (Myles Mac)

‘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.

Welcome back to our inflight radio, we’re just slightly adjusting the trajectory towards the idea of imminent ecstasy. Dinner will be served in the next half an hour. Our guest for this edition of lunar landscapes is a local expert in the audible field: Citizen Maze aka Adam McCoy(no relation). A surgeon in every form of the definition, his precise and methodical approach to all things sound brings artistry to the world of DJ’ing. Or, as I like to call it “exploiting other’s artwork in a poetic manner”. His perfectionist ideals are also very apparent in his newly launched record label ‘Mirror Tapes’ (TIP!!) and the debut compilation that’s just dropped, the stunning collection of dubbed-out fairytales from around the world. (Link Below) 

Adam’s prodigious contribution is three and half hours of planet-hopping merrymaking, all whilst still having a foot in the shallow end of the rhythm section, quixotic exploits across all states of consciousness, layers upon layers of perfectly woven, history-rich tapestry. There is detailed explorations of all genres, sub-genres and even inventing new ones. It emerges as somewhat of a lecture in the field, cause and effect in full effect (big ups Ishikawa). As the mix peaks and drops, the journey to each emotional high is unique, both sides of the peak explore creative ways to not only get there but also the best way to leave. It’s impossible to really nail the mix down as a single piece, instead, I think of it as an entire exhibition at a gallery. Anyway, enough thought, just block out the next three and half hours and press play and feel. 

Don’t forget to breathe. X

Our friend in Berlin, Flørist, also known as his moniker Pavilion, sent us a special one. It’s an hour-ish mix of a few vinyls he collected over his summer travels. Chuggy, bouncy, some great basslines, spiritually it’s somewhere between the pacific west coast and Anjuna Beach. Enjoy your trip.
Thank you all for listening to our mixes this year. Stay warm, and see you again next year!

DREAMING 018 : Flørist

‘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.

Another 8760 hours have passed yet again, another full lap around the sun, another new year upon us... And what comes with this new year, for I know not, nor do I want to. It is, although a good time to realign, reassess, reevaluate, and appreciate the opportunity to do so. Our sound-tracker for this sectional period is from all the way in Ukraine, and he goes by the name of Sid-Nine aka Anton Potieriaiko. 

I don’t know much about Sid, just that he’s a young guy with exceptional musical taste, an amazing result of what this series has evolved into. Sid sent me some mixes a few months ago, and very kindly asked if he could contribute. After listening to them, I hurriedly replied with a big fat ‘yes please!’, and here we are. It fills me with immense pride that this series has reached the other side of the world and given someone the motivation to truly dive deep into their own existence and produce something so pure. Especially when your country is forcibly participating in a war that shouldn’t be happening. 

This has been an absolute pleasure to listen to over and over for the past few weeks, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this mix. The talent that Sid puts on display in this two-hour stint is nothing short of amazing, each arch so perfectly placed, each mix so perfectly executed, each twist so rich, each turn so precise. The sheer wealth of musical knowledge intertwined throughout the mix is astounding, all rolled up in ethereal euphoria and soaked in rhythm overnight. Progressively paced-out house music, steeped street soul, splinters of future pop, deep space synth, milk bar ambient folk, converging harmoniously to create something magical. This kid truly gets it, and I know damn well he will use these powers for good. Sit on the couch, and reach for the lasers. 

Happy new year. X

«Тільки для домашнього використання» — це антиклубне спілкування, можливість познайомитися з кимось/щось. Серія передач, присвячених дослідженню іншої сторони.

Знову минуло ще 8760 годин, ще одне повне коло навколо сонця, ще один новий рік перед нами... І що прийде з цим новим роком, бо я не знаю і не хочу знати. Це, хоч і сприятливий час для перебудови, переоцінки, переоцінки та оцінки можливості зробити це. Наш саунд-трекер для цього розділового періоду – з усієї України, і його звуть Сід-Найн, він же Антон Потеряйко.

Я мало знаю про Сіда, лише те, що він молодий хлопець із винятковим музичним смаком, дивовижний результат того, у що перетворився цей серіал. Кілька місяців тому Сід надіслав мені кілька міксів і дуже люб’язно попросив, чи може він зробити свій внесок. Вислухавши їх, я поспішно відповів великим «так, будь ласка!», і ось ми тут. Мене сповнює величезна гордість, що ця серія досягла іншого кінця світу і дала комусь мотивацію по-справжньому зануритися у власне існування та створити щось таке чисте. Особливо, коли ваша країна вимушено бере участь у війні, якої не повинно бути.

Це було справжнє задоволення слухати знову і знову протягом останніх кількох тижнів, я чесно кажучи, не думаю, що мені коли-небудь набридне цей мікс. Талант, який Сід демонструє в цьому двогодинному виступі, не що інше, як дивовижний, кожна арка настільки ідеально розміщена, кожен мікс настільки ідеально виконаний, кожен поворот такий насичений, кожен поворот такий точний. Величезне багатство музичних знань, переплетених у всьому міксі, вражає, усе згорнуте в ефірну ейфорію та просякнуте ритмом протягом ночі. Прогресивна хаус-музика, стріт-соул, уламки майбутньої поп-музики, глибокий космічний синтезатор, ембієнт-фолк молочного бару, які гармонійно зливаються, створюючи щось чарівне. Цей хлопець справді це розуміє, і я чудово знаю, що він використає ці здібності назавжди. Сядьте на диван і потягніться до лазерів.

Щасливого Нового року. X

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.
