About the mix:

"I had toured for the first time in Australia late 2018 and it made a massive impression on me. In many ways, it reminded me of a warmer version of Canada. People were incredibly kind and welcoming and I was blown away by the hospitality the promoters and local artists showed me. I also absolutely adored the incredible nature I saw in Australia, having played in Hobart and Brisbane and Melbourne and Sydney and Adelaide and Hopkins’ Creek Festival in a volcanic crater, I fell in love with the landscapes I saw and the animals local only to this part of the world. So when I first sat down to think about this mix, the bushfires had just started raging and the news was beyond depressing to see. Everywhere I saw online was just videos and pictures of burned animals and ash that was once blooming flora & fauna. A fan from Australia sent me a DM on IG, telling me how my song “Terracotta”, as it’s a track that talks about the sea and land, was able to give them a lot of peace during a time that was anything but.

And so I decided I wanted to make a mix that not only paid tribute to this incredible music scene and country and its amazing artists, but was musically able to provide a sense of solace to people who perhaps feel hopeless about our time on this planet. That is partly why I began the mix with music by indigenous tribes from East Timor—as “modern” people it’s sad to see that we’ve lost touch with the roots of our life on this planet as we know it, and I think we have so much to learn from indigenous cultures and their respect for mother nature. I also chose a lot of dub music, and music that featured lots of organic drums for similar reasons, as these styles of music owe as much to indigenous folk music as they do to modern electronic music. Ultimately I wanted the mix to feel like slipping into a warm bath. Hope it was successful. 🙂"

Finishing the working week with a mix of truly beautiful sounds thanks to one of Australia's very best music selectors, DJ @earlgreyradio! A true purveyor of introspective cuts that can transcend the dance floor and recalibrate the mind/body/soul, Nik Thorup has to be one of the deepest diggers we've encountered, specialising in nostalgic genre benders and soothing ambient, downtempo and dubby grooves of all shapes and sizes.

For this episode we're found gently swaying between 160bpm D'n'B atmospheres and majestic moody vocal cuts, perfect to wind down or ease into your weekend with. We also caught up with Nik to chat about his label @besteffort and the imminent closing of Sydney's iconic underground music venue Freda's, where he worked both as a booker and threw parties with Rimbombo over the years.

Joel was a mutual friend who I have encounted many times throughout the years be it on the dusty dancefloor or a sweaty club.

He shares a genunie passion for music, a real spice of life and genuine good guy.

This mix is such a pleasure to share, I really enjoyed hearing his perspective of the ~Balearic~ sound.

He has been running underground parties and a mix series under the Midnight Boil collective over the past few years.

Keep your eyes peeled in the near future for some collaboration.

RESIS.TANZ - Dark & Light Mixes 
German label Emerald & Doreen welcomes once more Jerry Bouthier to mix its best releases of the year as a means to reflect its vibrant state of play. For the occasion the French DJ/producer has crafted not one but two 1h mixes as a couple of fairly distinct perspectives increasingly characterise the imprint's output.

One may claim this significant pairing of like-minded individuals was destined to be, not least for a shared appreciation of the chronic interactions of all things indie and dance. Part of the Kitsuné family, sound-designer of Vivienne Westwood and other fashion labels, forever advocating balearic open-mindedness Bouthier tirelessly supports the cross-breeding of genres and the bending of conventions, bearing endless enthusiasm for what's to come next - a shared notion that runs deep within Emerald & Doreen's DNA.

With time E&D has gradually yet consistently embraced a darker approach. Oscillating between the likes of John Carpenter's mysteriously evocative synthetic soundtracks and the industrial narco-grooves of sadly departed Andrew Weatherall, this slightly somber vision - growing from strength to strength and eventually designated as dark disco - dispenses almighty thunder loaded with extra sensory effects cranked up to 11.
That's not to say Emerald & Doreen's distinctive melodic investigations have been left out. Still an appreciable staple of the label in its numerous electronic shapes, melody - light - is by all means much favoured, providing limitless soothing beams of hope to the soul.

Balancing symmetrical energies much like the yin yang philosophy, Dark & Light suggest an altogether fundamental connection naturally relating to these extraordinary times. Besides, the two mixes come under the Resis.tanz tag, a mix series (to stream and download for free) Jerry conceived during lockdown: generous tracks in various resonating moods to fight back, bring hope and gratification to this uncertain period; a symbolic gesture that has allowed for an opportune alliance to boot.

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.

MFM Mix 023: Jonah Sharp

Sometimes it can be difficult to label a genre for our guest mixes, but not so here, It was very easy to select the genre in this instance... H.O.U.S.E.... From Berlin's first lady of house music no less. We've been buggin' Cinthie for years to join the SB mix series, and after much badgering (well, not that much, Cinthie is lovely) she's stepped up to the platters that matter and delivered a mix that will catapult you into 2021, and place 2020 firmly in the rearview mirror. 

Get some.

@yu_su delivers an intricate trip of visceral leftfield bliss for number 7 in the Junction 2 Mix Series.

Bursting on the scene in 2017, DJ, composer and sound artist, Yu Su, has quickly grown to command a space among the electronic music elite as one of today's most forward thinking artists. Morphing between dubby downtempo, indie electronica and melody rich club euphoria, Vancouver-based Yu Su has landed a number of transcending hits for the likes of Technicolour, Second Circle and Rhythm Section. Her much anticipated debut album, Yellow River Blue, is set for release on 22nd January.

A new Safe season has begun. This one turned out slightly different and longer than anticipated since I have so much to say. Wanted to highlight a tiny bit of the amazing music out there - almost 5 hours of different styles, tempos, old records and forthcoming ones. Just how I personally like a mix to be!

BIG thanks to the following people for keeping me inspired, their music and continuous support:

Natal, Milan, Mathias, Mette, Simon, Nils, August, JR, Julius, Fergus, Morten, FH, Martin & Mads (Probably missed someone, but you are not forgotten!)

Last but not least - thank you for listening.
