Copeland Not Ever

The latest edition of Nina Mix is presented by Los Angeles-based DJ Bianca Lexis (@biancalexis). Over the past five years, Lexis’ NTS Radio show Panorama Heaven has solidified her as a selector’s selector and a must-see DJ. Her unique style frequently explores the realms of rare and elusive Italo disco, off-the-beaten-path house, and more recently, the late ’90s and early 2000s chillout and electronica.

Beyond her impeccable musical discernment, Lexis continues to uncover and champion new and forgotten musical treasures. Bianca's mix for Nina offers a distinctive blend of loungey, trip-hop-infused tracks—a sound both familiar and endlessly intriguing. In her own words, ‘a mix of '90s-heavy dream pop & downtempo :)’.

The enigmatic Tennessee-raised, Turin-based Yves Tumor presents a poignant new album, recorded between Miami, Leipzig, Los Angeles and Berlin over the past three years. 

Evolved from a diverse and prolific creative history under an expansive plethora of covert aliases via various forward-thinking labels, 'Yves Tumor' emerges as his most personal and matured incarnation to date.

With involvement across various artistic outlets expanding to fashion such as a visceral live performance for LA's Hood By Air earlier this year, the global artist has built a distinctly bold personal aesthetic both musically and visually as a performer.

Painstakingly written from pieces developed upon since 2013, the new record, titled 'Serpent Music', was initially composed as a soul record - based around delicate and emotive songwriting in various forms. It was a highly difficult project to undertake on both a creative and personal level, weaving thematic links through paranoia, social anxiety, and missing loved ones. "The songs come from a much more emotional and very vulnerable place... They're very close to me and I've been cautious of how I would eventually present them to the world." he explains. 

The album spans sonically diverse and richly-textured pieces, formed from live, organic instruments, samples and various field recordings. Dreamlike lo-fi psychedelia sits alongside broken electronic experimentations, ambient compositions between abrasive noise offer insight into a haunting otherworld. From melodic choral vocals and soaring synths, to screeching guitar riffs, dramatic spoken word samples and live drumming, 'Serpent Music' evidently moves through a strange and intriguing personal journey.

The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, featuring photography by Daniel Sannwald.
