During 2021, to help get through the ongoing lockdown I made a series of 90 minute cassette tapes, one a month for ten months. I thought there would be a small demand but was blown away by the response. People really embraced them and copies went to every corner of the planet. They became a huge part of my year and really helped me through a tough time.

A little later I made them available digitally for a short period and all the proceeds raised went to Glasgow NW Foodbank. I was again blown away as thousands of pounds were raised.

I have decided to put the series on Soundcloud. I'll upload them sporadically over the coming months. I'm skipping the 2nd one as it has the same title as a compilation I put out recently and I don't want the two getting confused, but I may come back to it later. This is the 3rd one titled “SMI²LE - Space Migration, Intelligence Increase, Life Extension".

Smi²le was Timothy Leary’s mid 70s vision of the future of humanity. It's Utopian & in hindsight wildly optimistic. He believed we would have colonised space & have cloned ourselves by around the year 2000. He envisaged millions of us would be living in “High orbital mini Earths” in our own small Utopian communities. I have a long time fascination with (unrealisable) Utopian communities and Smi²le has always been one I particularly liked as it was so fully thought out & even by Utopian standards wildly hopeful & unrealistic. It's also relevant to our times as contentious/ awful figures like Peter Thiel & Elon Musk have adopted the worst parts of these ideas without any public scrutiny. Free market space migration may not be a positive thing, particularly if we are exporting this planet’s problems into outer space.

Anyway, that’s an aside and it’s basically a 90 minute space themed mix of music. Understanding / knowing about the Smi²le concept is not essential to its enjoyment. :)

For Viscera 137, DJ Mist is welcomed to the series!

"The boundary pushing force behind Lapse Records and Headroom Festival, Mist presents a wide-eyed vision for the dance from Bristol to Berlin by bridging a love of house, electro and techno past and present into more eclectic UK club styles.

Hybrid electronics, 2step leaning minimal and astral wigglers intersect under Mist & longstanding involvement in the scene with precise and technical dexterity behind the decks. Liquefying 30+ years of dance music into timeless voyages make evident the decade of immersion in clubbing as a music nerd and mainstay DJ under previous monikers. With bookings at a collection of UK and EU clubs, festivals such as Love International, Magnetic Fields and Gottwood, and a deep archive of appearances on Rinse FM, Ransom Note, HOR Radio, Sub Club++

Founded in 2021, Lapse Records serves as an extension of Mist&#39;s moods and grooves, using the label to platform artists exploring vital iterations of their sound. So far this includes Len Lewis, Sasha Zlykh + Troy &amp; Trippsy, Adam Curtain, Los Primos (Cosmic JD & Aaron Santos) and DJ Gonzo &amp; Dr Yes (Patrick Klein & Michael Melchner)

With their own productions in the pipeline and exciting shows on the horizon, the future feels exciting for this passionate selector."

Kick back and enjoy!
