The latest installment of Nina Label Mix comes to us from the one and only @goodmorningtapes. Currently located in the sun-kissed coast of Australia, the hybrid label and apparel company have cultivated a sound and aesthetic that is undeniably its own, through its strong connection to surf culture and the natural world.

As Biscuit, the visionary behind GMT, emphasizes, the label's essence extends far beyond ambient music, reflecting a personal taste that spans a diverse range of musical genres.  Featuring releases from artists such as Jonine, Anthony Naples, Salamanda, and Ben Bondy, whose sonic contributions have enriched the label's vibrant catalog. Alongside these releases, GMT has showcased eclectic mixtapes from the likes of Matt Werth, Cali DeWitt, Matthew Kent, and Misha Hollenbach, further amplifying the label's commitment to inclusivity in musical expression. Breaking free from the constraints of narrow categorizations, GMT continues to evolve, embracing and sharing a broader spectrum of sound with its 'All Welcome' mantra.

@kiernan-laveaux
Kiernan Laveaux comes in here, with her exciting take on what we could call ‘making full use of our mixing gear’. Keeping the spirit alive of Ron Hardy in the few interviews she did, it really makes sense in regards of the mutual playfulness in the art of DJing. 
The character of this mix bright and weird, something that gains feelings of hope and liberation. A trip that pulsates and stretches with loopy looping, that makes it breath & constrict at times. Kiernan guides us so smooth and kindly through many different cosmic passages. Wavy landscapes without losing any of warmth or euphoria.
Kiernan is from Cleveland, an affiliate of the T4T LUV NRG label & a part of Sweet Abyss - where this mix was recorded live, amidst various gay psychedelic vibes. Thanks Kiernan!

“This mix is 70 minutes transmitted live & direct from my brain at one of the transgender dance music focused Sweet Abyss events I helped to create in 2023, opening for my lovely friend Tabasheer. Recommended listening on a walk by yourself, in a room with strange lighting, or riding up & down life’s escalators”

Our next mix is by Officium. We get a proper long trip over here, with almost reaching 3 hours of music. 
Officium is a multi-instrumentalist, knee-deep in the forward pushing underground scene of France. Navigating the Wreckers Ov Civilization radio serie at Lyl Radio. 
Last year, he released the amazing album ‘lazybones’ at Teenage Menopause Records, from Paris.
This story is taking us from Cindy Lee to Coil and helen island to Special Guest DJ, while Boris is playing alongside Missy Elliott. 
“There are lots of clues about mystical thinking, emotions, winks to people I love and friends' musicals projects in here. All mixed up and resulting in a strong narrative.”

@somewherepress
Somewhere Press is a Glasgow-based record label that embodies the emotive, narrative-led spaces in sound work, uplifting outsider voices and queering notions of experimental music and print. 

This mix explores the discrepant sounds of dream states.
Ethereal choral vocals are entangled with distorted and disturbed voices and a drifting psychedelic ambience is broken apart by rumbling atmospheres of industrial.
As layers break apart, raw and resonant drones float beneath the surface; an opiated, eternal delirium.

A pleasure to hear this mix by La Serpiente (Marco Segato). We’ve been in touch years back when I was booking the first Zaliva-D European tour.  Marco brought Zaliva-D to the, now permanently closed, Macao in Milano.  His journey in life brought him recently to Amsterdam. 

Marco Segato is a sonic explorer, producer and live performer currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He's the co-founder of Rete Neurale Milano E.S.T. - an event born in the infamous Milanese multi-cultural space Macao - and curator of the mix series Empty Signal Transmission. He has been a Red Bull Music Academy alumnus in 2016 in Montréal (Canada) and graduated in Audio Production at SAE Institute Milan in 2017. During the last years Marco released his music under four different monikers: La Serpiente, MS, Narvalos (with Alessio Costantino) & eoobe (with Elina Tapio). Across these projects his sound maintains a sense of mysticism brewing with eerie tension, influenced and incorporating sounds of broken beats, post-industrial experimentations, and ritualistic elements to conjure psychic immersion. He produces and performs live sets with a combination of analogue and digital hardware, with a sonic outcome that is always saturating the mind with extra-musical ideas.

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”, one well-known writer once said. And for the new Birds entry, I welcome @philipp-otterbach, long-time record collector of all kinds of music, DJ and producer, who would approve his words. For a long while he devotes himself with endurance to music. During the 2000s, he threw some forward-looking dances with his old buddy Vladimir Ivkovic in the German Ruhr region. And when Düsseldorf’s shrine for outer-national grooves Salon Des Amateurs opened in 2004, Otterbach became a one of the first residents. Since 2014 he is also out there with his very own sound, releasing EPs on labels like adventurous Dutch Knekelhuis, Themes for Great Cities, Brokntoys etc. In 2020 he dropped his debut album 'Everything Else Matters' on R.I.O.  followed by "The Dahlem Diaries" on Music From Memory Nowadays (2023) and "Correct me if I am incorrectly you" on Offen (2023). Listening to one of Philipp's DJ sets is like shuffling through an imaginary library. His musical language follows an intertwined logic of emotional affects, ineffable magic and endless fantasy. A man for suspenseful storytelling that likes to melt early electronic music, Krautrock, minimalism, and all sorts of tribal rhythms with eclectic voodoo dance, psychedelic guitar tsunami’s, house, techno and electro - always beautifully entangled with a precise feeling for special funk dynamics. This one is another great example of these antics too. Let the mind fly with the birds!
