Mixes

I got to know Laurel (@silver-side-pony) via the growing bin website. Always loved their picks from the bin and so I got curious. Then I heard one of Laurels mixes and was sold. I am superhappy to share this almost 4 hour long sandwich with you... now handing over the keyboard. 
"Laurel hails from the rural North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) of Aotearoa, New Zealand. They enjoyed a few years observing Pōneke (Wellington)’s rambunctious and delightfully strange music scene at venues like Puppies and the revered Camp a Low Hum, before moving to Berlin.
This mix is the result of many quiet lockdown nights trawling bandcamp, deep dives into the (Growing) Bin, and excavating their record collection. Winding in and out of new music and old gems over 3.5 hours, the mix reflects their unease and excitement of heading back to parties after a long break. Laurel made sure to include some old well-trodden favourites, doing a big middle finger to the pressure to play new and “rare” tracks at every single outing.
Big shout outs go to Eyeliner (@disasterradio), Tania (@taniajust), Castro & Nemo (@sound-metaphors), Cáit (@caitfa), and Stella (@stella-zekri-ouiddir) for inspiration." 
Thanks a TON for this yummy mix Laurel!!

Gelée Royale (Slippery crisps b2b Booran) on Marlon et al via Internet Public Radio

Laurel and Thom are two of our favourite Berlin DJs, both on their own and as a unit. Very few people approach things with as much intention and creativity as these two. When we asked them to open the last Gelee Royale, we expected something really nice. What we ended up with was so much more: a beautiful, meandering, idiosyncratic journey, that bubbles up here and there, never reaching a peak, incredibly patient and understated. We have so much love for these two and this excerpt from their set.

Honey, you deserve the best. 

Gelée Royale invites their favourite Djs to pollinate the deepest flowers of your mind - no fruit too bitter, no honey too sweet. 

Next @arkaodaberlin with @niklaswandtmusik and residents @booran and @slippery_crisps - however, COVID-19 might force us to push this back. Stay tuned.
