seasonal mixtapes | deep melodic house 🌱

audio drifting vol. 118

I've been playing around a lot with layering pop vocal tracks on top of melodic house tracks. The intro of this song was a serendipitous mashup of pop band, LANY, meets Massane. I also tried to make the mix more interesting by layering 2-3 tracks at a time through most of it(bonus points if you can hear the surprise Lane 8 track towards the middle).

Tracklist:
1. Maybe (Original Mix) - Massane
2. Thick And Thin - LANY
3. Lone Raver - Barry Can't Swim
4. Say My Name - Godford
5. Me & You - Marsh
6. Runner (Extended Mix)- Heard Right & Jope
7. Blue Light (Original Mix) - Juno Mamba
8. Do It (Icarus Remix) - Rae Morris
9. Floating - Massane
10. By My Side (Extended Mix) - Massane
11. Heaven (Extended Mix) - Fancy Inc & Magnus
12. Cold Water (Extended Mix) - Spada
13. Far Away Place (Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Remix) - Xinobi
14. EMBRACER - Mild Minds

summer mixtape #04

Thank you @mira_kater  for inviting me to be a part of your legendary birthday celebrations. Coming from a place of abundance, you bring everyone together and give opportunities to others like me to express whatever is inside of me. Grateful, grateful and more grateful - love you ❤ 

Major shout out to the wonderful family at Katerblau for always making me feel welcome and at home. It was an honour and a pleasure to be a part of this amazing 3-day rave. Big thanks to all my wonderful friends and the lovely dancers rocking Heinz Hopper.

The intro track is a lovely edit made by the Brooklyn based talented duo @kouk_music about the courageous people of Iran as their protest movement continues to grow in intensity - the tipping point isn’t far away. 

Last but not least, many thanks to @pauli-pocket for single-handedly finding and reviving this recording for me.

my typical process for putting mixtapes together is meticulous and calculated, i plan the songs out in advance - and find the perfect moments in each track to transition or loop or layer. with this one i was struggling with the process feeling restricted in perfection. so i decided to just click record and let each track lead me into what comes next. this is the result of that, it includes a bunch of lovely melodic and progressive tunes. hope you enjoy xx

spring mixtape #13

This mix is inspired by a poem from the temple at the playa by an anonymous author. You can read the entire poem here:  https://imgur.com/25zajA5

“Sweat, replenish, repeat.
Become dry and empty.
Give yourself to the dance
To your loves
To your friends
To strangers
Be a lyric
Be a problem
Believe, be live, berate
Be flower and thorn”
