@djsundae what is this little numbers name? The mean witchy ones?

The newest contribution in our mix series comes from the talented multi disciplinair artist Vica Pacheco (@lilvica), who created the beautiful art for the covers of both the Virtual Dreams and the MLO compilation. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hola Vica, bienvenidos to the series. Your from Belgium, via Mexico and France. Can you tell a bit about your journey?

VP: I moved to France in an exchange program as a young art student, curious to discover what was going on in the other site of the world, I followed my heart in a naive way to be sincere. Then I built a new French family in this school, they welcomed me so well and made me feel at home, which helped me to take the decision to finish my art studies there… Then, things just came naturally, I joined my partner and few friends in Brussels, they were all like  “Brussels is so nice, there are lots of concerts happening all time, people is warm and motivated, great places, great parks and great beer”  

MFM: What are some of the main differences you've experienced so far when comparing Brussels to Oaxaca? Are there similarities as well? 

VP: Life in Oaxaca is warm, your senses are distracted all the time by the environment, there are always haunting melodies in the ambience, something delicious to eat or drink in the street, is colorful and joyful. My people is really proud about our culture which manifests itself in infinite ways. But, there are many negative facts that makes a harder contrast with the European lifestyle, as social inequality, extreme poverty, machismo, different ways of negligences by government and post colonial social consequences. On the other hand, Brussels is grey, the rhythm of life and culture is just so different, things happens under different rules. People is super motivated, independent music scene is super present in the city, there are friendly institutions supporting art. Anyway, both places are a human size cities and are full of interesting things to discover.

MFM: Your visual art, as used in the Virtual Dreams series, appears as very liquid and organic yet synthetic and digital at the same time. Somewhat like a fine line between the past and future. A future relic if you will. How did you find this signature style? 

VP: I pass long time working with different programs and machines which have become an extension of my creative language, visual or sonic. This alliance between "organic" and "digital"  or "technologic" and "arcaic" is something that came naturally on my fabulating process, while getting interested on topics such as nature-culture, mythologie, anthropologie, scientific imagery and science fiction, I just let myself to do a synthesis of those interests while creating my art.

MFM: Same goes for your music, it's like you've scored your own film perfectly... 

VP: I grew up listening to Mexican popular music, playing it and singing it when younger, same as painting, drawing or ceramics, I never saw visual art and music as separate fields. But  I can say I started working  with sound when I was 18, living in Mexico City, then when I arrived to Villa arson, the sound studio was open to any kind of experimentation, the approach of this studio was wide open, no limits between plastic art and sound art, everything was possible, so I developed my own language mixing medias.

MFM: What's next, do you have any nearby goals that you're working on achieving? Are you an artist who works from one project to another? What are you currently working on?

VP: I’m involved in several projects all time, I’m a little bit hyperactive and I like to keep my creativity going on. I’m currently working making the music for a theater piece, which will take place next week in Geneva, im really excited about it, but in parallel I continue doing performances and few concerts and making some 3d artworks. Im coming back in July to Mexico for few months for other projects too so yeah, things are moving.

MFM Mix 038: Vica Pacheco

https://soundcloud.com/philipp-otterbach was one of the first resident at Salon des Amateurs, before moving to Berlin. Together with Vladimir Ivkovic, they organized the Substance parties. Since 2014 he released music on labels like Grokenberger, Knekelhuis, Themes For Great Cities, brokntoys, and remixed quite a few peeps. In 2020 he dropped his debut album 'Everything Else Matters' on R.i.O. Nowadays he divides his time between being a creative director for Ui / UX Design and producing music, and still enjoys to travel around with old records to play in front of a young crowd.

He just finished exercise 5/10 from his book: back to social life. 5 more to go. The mix is also kind of reappraisal, because he was forced to listen to a goa version of AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' on a festival lately. Anyhow, this one's a special treat. Taking off gently, one gets quickly sucked in and seduced by all kinds of obscure and exquisite, wicked and wacko tunes, making you drift beyond your own consciousness. The mix combines the animals of his daily life in Kreuzberg. It sure gets hotter with this otter…..

Delighted to host @fergus_clark Influence mix on Oddity Radio for @12th-isle

@fergus_clark : The mix is quite simply a playlist of songs that reflect different genres and styles of music we share a bond of appreciation over. Some of them are classics from our early party days, some are records which contain many elements that are exciting to us. Some of them still get a lot of play, but most are quite reflective of this 2013-2017 era of 12th Isle. 

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!

The next instalment in the Phase Group Mix series is delivered by dear friend and contributing artist to the label, Low Bat. 

Low Bat lives amongst the black coal hills of northern France. When he isn’t marking textbooks and exposing Neue Deutsche Welle to the classrooms, the French DJ, musician and teacher keeps himself busy playing with his band Jean Luc, co-running the Yellow Light of Death festival and curating radio as 1/3 of the team behind Tblisi’s Mutant Radio. 

On top of this, he makes up 1/2 of Lowspace, the newest additions to Phase Group, who’s split tape with Lostsoundbytes will be coming out in December

His Phase Group Mix is a masterfully sequenced mad ride through post punk, psych rock, French trip hop, and proto trance. Thanks Louis!

It’s always satisfying to find your way in an unexplored territory. The Other Side can occasionally drift off out of the grid and on this particular occasion it found itself in a more vocally led ground. Still trying to stay true to its origins, the human voice can be heard as a guide or an instrument, bridging the same emotions you might find when they aren’t there. (As is most often the case in this neck of the woods)…
