Initiation: Monomyth Part 2

The hero's journey continues. Having left behind your mundane reality in Monomyth: Separation. ‘Initiation’ will take you deep into the unknown, the underworld, the intangible. 

Part 2 of the Monomyth trilogy will take you on a road of trials. This is a favorite phase of the myth- adventure. 

Frenic has created a concept album in the Trip Hop tradition taking influence from a wide selection of source material that includes Hip Hop, Dub, Soul, Funk and Folk. This has all been crafted together using deep beats, scratches, huge dark reverbs and saturated lo fi sounds. 

Based on the book “A Hero with a Thousand Faces”. By Joseph Campbell the trilogy seeks to engage with the concept that all stories have one common theme and by understanding this your own hero's journey can be enlightened. 

“Whether we listen with aloof amusement to the dreamlike mumbo jumbo of some red-eyed witch doctor of the Congo, or read with cultivated rapture thin translations from the sonnets of the mystic Lao-tse; now and again crack the hard nutshell of an argument of Aquinas, or catch suddenly the shining meaning of a bizarre Eskimo fairy tale: it will be always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find, together with a challengingly persistent suggestion of more remaining to be experienced than will ever be known or told.”(Joseph Campbell)

Initiation: Monomyth Part 2

This is a selection of tunes that were shared with me by my dear friend Mike Cole. Putting a mix together was my way of honouring him whilst coming to terms with my sadness at his passing.
This one's for you Mikey and for everyone who loved you. It was a pleasure sharing the decks with you and watching you get the dance floors bumping. Rest easy my friend ♡

MIKE COLE RIP MIX ♡

Chillout session curated by Tripster. Enjoy!

Simulacrum is a deeply reflective project that explores the human experience in the mid-2020s, focusing on our increasingly intertwined relationship with technology and AI. It touches on themes of existence in a high-tech world, the challenges of modern life, and the feeling of being unable to unplug from our digital realities. The album balances both observational and cinematic tones, with a sci-fi, dystopian flavor that doesn’t take a clear stance on whether AI is positive or negative but rather dives into the complexity of our current era.
Musically, Simulacrum blends elements of electronic, ambient, and hip-hop influences, evolving from Frenic’s earlier chilled, lo-fi sound. Each track contributes to a cohesive narrative, with some bringing a Bristol trip-hop throwback vibe and others incorporating modern dystopian sound design. Across the album, there’s a sense of tension between connectivity and isolation, creative expression, and technological dependence.
Overall, Simulacrum is both a personal reflection on Frenic’s evolving sound and Yellatones commentary on what it feels like to be human in this era of technological complexity.

Outer Space

Restoring balance to our series of earthly compilations, we have Earthly Tapes 04. So far, we've brought to you an array of artists, all with the collective goal of sharing the wonders of musical exploration with no borders.

On this release, we have 7 wonderful artists expressing their creativity across 6 carefully curated tracks with native roots connected to 5 different countries across South America and Europe. In keeping with the series so far, nature and electronica intertwine in synchronicity, creating a space as befitting of heady dance floor groovers as it is to stay-at-home explorations.

The project has been 2 years in the making and has chopped and changed but what has remained is the concept behind it. On this edition, we're shining a light on a number of female producers who have been creating amazing music within the scene that we’re fortunate to be a part of.

The countdown to the release of this next chapter finds us coinciding fittingly with International Women’s Day; we’re truly blessed to be able to share them with you.

Barda - Atardecer Rioplatense

My cup remains expanded and full after Relish Festival 2025, nestled in the lush native forest of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

With deepest gratitude for all the beautiful souls and the land, I had the absolute delight of sharing two hours of tunes on the Friday night in the Chill n Cherish Lounge, at the far end of the Delicious Kitchen tent - the very heart and soul of Relish.

I only hit record a few tracks into the set, but since it was all an impromptu multi-genre musical journey, I didn't feel called to make any edits or rerecord the start of my set.

Enjoy!

Much love,
David <3

P.S. Thanks to Bear Heart for this beautiful photo of the kitchen tent.
