For the third episode of their show Unravel, James Lotion has invited the Berlin based queer music nerd Golden Medusa for a digital B2B. 

On the contrary to a classic B2B this one was recorded from their homes in Copenhagen and Berlin over a period of two weeks of sharing emails. One by one they recorded a part of the mix, each time responding to the previous recording. 

The result is a moody, chuggy adventure featuring downtempo moments, erratic breaks, emotional melodies and experimental sound design.

In solidarity with the Palestinian people they end the mix with Jessika Khazrik's track Kushajam's Recital استظهار كُشاجم - which revisits an Abbasid poem around a cosmic water clock, written by a 10th c. Palestinian poet.''

After a longer break, here goes my 5th episode of RESONATE.

I've been meaning to put together a show that pays tribute to faster genres I love such as Jungle and Footwork. Definitely felt inspired after playing a b2b all nighter with Karmaboy recently, where we managed to close with some oldschool breaks and DJ Rashad. 

Side note: had to edit out my vox because I messed up the volume and you couldn't really hear anything.

1. JakoJako - Neogenese
2. Lara Sarkissian - A House is a Being
3. Eszaid - Members Stand
4. Pessimist - Balaklava
