watching a room full of people close their eyes while listening to this track is the best

@kasra-v’s retro-injected club cuts are propelling dancers into the future

"The mix is kind of retrospective musically, and I am retrospective personally and I’ve come to terms with that in the past year or two. I was listening to a lot of Danny Tenaglia’s Twisted label and Global Underground’s mix series and this Tony De Vit 12-hour mix from TRADE, which back then must have been like what, 500 records? And also going out a lot at the time and listening to friends who I find inspiring every time I see them DJ, like Marie Malarie again, Byron Yeates, Alex Kassian, THC – so it was probably a mix of all of that."

Needing very little introduction, our next guest is one of the most inspiring and talented artists in Naarm - and one of our close friends - Bex (@becarmstrongmusic). 

An artist in the truest sense of the word, Bex is a DJ, producer and visual artist. She is the founder of the online platform Space Cast (@spacecast-melbourne) - a project which facilities an art and music exchange that supports local artists financially through the sale of print. She's also the co-founder of the Spincycle parties alongside Robbie (@terrytec), and Send/Return with Hannah D (@hld) which showcases two djs playing back-to-back, all night long.

We're so grateful to put out this mix, which sees Bec channel psychedelic moods while maintaining a tough, tekky vibe which is synonymous with her sound. 

Thanks again Bec for this beauty of a mix <3

ZigZag (Lynchian) | ˈzɪɡzaɡ | 1) A cryptic dance through the subconscious; an enigmatic
sequence where each turn unveils a new layer of mystery. An embrace of the nonsensical,
where each angular move dances with the bizarre, illuminating the beauty within the absurd. 2)
Backwards talk and a series of peculiar movements, guided by oracular messages from
inanimate objects much like taking advice from a log. Navigating life's forested obscurity with
intuition as an usher, embracing the unpredictable turns that lead to hidden truths. 3) A descent
into the labyrinth of duality, where innocence and darkness intertwine; reflecting the complex
journey of existence, where each turn is as surprising as finding a fish in your damn fine coffee.

Sam Barker, a Berlin-based music producer, and David Pearce, philosopher and author of The Hedonistic Imperative, join us on a special episode of the FLI Podcast to spread some existential hope. Sam is the author of euphoric sound landscapes inspired by the writings of David Pearce, largely exemplified in his latest album — aptly named "Utility." Sam's artistic excellence, motivated by blissful visions of the future, and David's philosophical and technological writings on the potential for the biological domestication of heaven are a perfect match made for the fusion of artistic, moral, and intellectual excellence. This podcast explores what significance Sam found in David's work, how it informed his music production, and Sam and David's optimistic visions of the future; it also features a guest mix by Sam and plenty of musical content.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

-The relationship between Sam's music and David's writing
-Existential hope
-Ideas from the Hedonistic Imperative
-Sam's albums
-The future of art and music
