an hour and half of deeply moving, wildly tender mix by @syberkid :')

o: how have you been sleeping lately?
s: unpredictably. sometimes i sleep and wake up with the hazy memory of a glorious adventure, other days I wake with the horror of a nightmare clinging to my subconscious, and sometimes I can’t sleep at all...

o: are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
s: always both ~ swimming in the daydreams, dreaming in the night swims.

o: where do you go to dream?
s: music is my portal to the dreamland. drone for the deepest cerebral dissolution into the realm of the imagination, something more energetic or colourful if I want to fly through the sky.

o: what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
s: the rustling leaves of trees in the wind, and birds calling to each other on a walk this morning.

o: have you ever cried on the dance floor?
s: yes, though not often, I’m more of “cry on the inside” dancer. 
though, the first time i remember actually crying on the dance floor was the first time i heard claro intelecto’s ‘peace of mind’ in 2013 i think… it was in my head for weeks afterwards https://youtu.be/m0-iideGM_k

o: where did you record this mix? 
s: in my living room, with my favourite cedar incense burning (i burn this every time I record a mix, a little ritual which always brings me to the right zone).

o: what drew you to the sounds?
s: you my bb <3 
this mix is my interpretation of all our beautiful sobcore listening sessions in your room after nights out, our shared love of soft emotional music, and how that translates into my sound. it’s sobcore x deep mind music, a journey for deep feelings, philosophical chats, cosy cuddles and imaginal drifting ~

o: what are you looking forward to the most this year?
s: i am most excited for the summer months to finally arrive, so I can once again frolic with friends in nature, listening to music outside 🤸🌲🌞

o: what drew you to the sounds?

o: what's your plan next weekend?
d: rest

star gazing with @el_hardwick

o:how have you been sleeping lately?
e:deeply and with lots of vivid dreams!

o:are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
e:absolutely a day dreamer, i spent all of my childhood being told off for it at school. i always say i’m solar powered as i lose most of my energy once night falls.

o:where do you go to dream?
e:the wilderness.

o:what was the last thing you heard that moved you?
e:my friend nicolette iles makes monthly 5 hour playlists for their patreon subscribers - everything in their last playlist was spectacular and moving.

o:have you ever cried on the dance floor?
e:i don’t recall on a dance floor, but i cried when Jenny Hval played one of my most favourite songs ‘cemetery of splendour’ at one of the first gigs i went to after lockdown. it was accompanied by visuals of her husky running through the norwegian forest, with a go-pro on his neck filming from his perspective. you could just see his fluffy ears and paws in the corner on the lens and it overwhelmed me with hope and tenderness.

o:where did you record this mix? 
e:in my living room across two very rainy days, with my cat sleeping close by.

o:what drew you to the sounds?
e:the running thread was conversations we’ve had and music we’ve shared together. also lots of reverb and 90’s nostalgia.

o:what's your plan next weekend?
e:i'm going to a cloud bath by my friend saxophonist laura misch, and doing a taster pottery class - a birthday present from my partner because they know i've wanted to play with clay for a long time!

running free with Van Dyke Browne @vinylhunter

o:How have you been sleeping lately?
w:Not great, I kept on falling asleep watching twin peaks season 2, not good for sleep!

o:Are you a daydreamer or night swimmer?
w:Daydreamer :)

o:Where do you go to dream?
w:Wherever my heart tells me I should be <3

o:What was the last thing you heard that moved you?
w:HTRK live a Strange Brew, such a beautiful performance <3

o:Have you ever cried on the dance floor?
w:Many times!

o:Where did you record this mix? 
w:I recorded this mix at the location of my party Acid Lake, the sun was setting, a deer was roaming up ahead, and a giant orange moth was flying around me :) 

o:What drew you to the sounds?
w:I have been thinking a lot recently about the perception of time in the context of love and loss. The way that our mind orchestrates a measurement of how long something feels in accordance with its impact on us. 

There is a magic involved in our metaphysical connections with one another, and the ways in which we can connect despite distance and extended time apart, but also how it feels when something bad happens to someone we love, sometimes before any contact with that person if the connection is deep enough. 

I wanted to channel these thoughts and connect with a collection of sounds spanning across many years and locations, tied together by their formation deep within the soul.

o:What's your plan next weekend?
w:The release party for the debut record by Excelsior Ruth @xlsior ;)
