This is our first mellow mix; a collection of chill tunes from mid-tempo bass into hip-hop, to house and all the way to drum & bass with much more in between.
This mix is also a big part of the set we played at April Flowers this May. 
We had a ton of fun putting this together, we hope you find it is just as fun to listen to!

Naturalist's Eleventh Symphony

I always have a playlist of random genres & I seem to love a challenge, so, here is my attempt at mixing them together.  

If you've been following me for a bit now, you know I'm not likely to keep to one tempo/genre in my mixes. I like to journey through the sounds and follow my heart.. this one holds up to that, strongly. 

the perfectionist in me could keep trying this over and over again, but I start to lose my authenticity the more I do that. in the end - it's for the love of music & and I hope you can catch some feels within this mix like I do. 🫶🏼

Love Languages Vol. 5

Fall is here. Now & again - new, yet familiar. Arguably my favorite season, though I enjoy them all and the change they bring. 

Before I learned how to mix music, I was an extreme playlist curating enthusiast. Every playlist I have tells the story of the season I was in at that time. It's been a while, but I recently felt a calling to revisit them. For this mix, I pulled my most favorites that really slow me down, turn me inward for reflection and massage my soul. I love the challenge of putting tracks together that you might not think "match". Hearing the outcome has become a ritual for me that I look forward to - a way to exercise my brain and stimulate my senses. 

I hope you find some resonance and comfort here. Light a candle, move your body, sit in stillness... or, perhaps take a wander through the mossy, fallen leaves in search of fungi. This is the time of year my family and I journey through the Koots and visit our favourite forest spots to forage nature's treats before the frost takes over. Then - hibernation mode sets in. 

Embrace the change with me and dive in to the gentle side of sound as it guides your journey with a little extra magic & wonder.

Gotta Go, I'm Sorry

It's been a rough year all round. It's become cliche to say "these are the tunes that I can relax and zone out to" - but it's true. This is a collection of songs that make me smile when I'm outside on a sunny day. No matter how bad things seem, there is always hope and beauty to be found if you look (hard enough). I hope this mix brings some light to your day, because making it brought some light to mine.

Recorded in 1 take with scratches overdubbed.
