Tracklist & Interview: https://www.lowendtheorists.com/theory-therapy-mixes/theory-therapy-18-lillerne-tapes

It’s hard to think of a label as reliably great as Lillerne Tapes. Since launching in 2007, the cassette imprint has become an anchor of the lo-fi and experimental ambient music world, its output ranging from contemplative dance to musique concrète to more abstract productions, with releases from the likes of Forest Management, mdo, Rhucle and Ulla Straus, to name just a few.

The man behind the prolific label is Gabe Holcombe. In 2021, he’s already put out three excellent releases from José María Delgado, jung dj and more eaze, all of which are worth checking out. While the label still retains its local, DIY feel, Holcombe doesn’t just release his friends’ music. Last year, he also tapped into Australia’s underground scene, releasing music from Melbourne’s Yunzero and Other Joe.

The label’s varied discography serves as an illustration of Holcombe’s sound palette; it’s rich in warm, fuzzy textures, tape hiss and subtle, often beautiful melodies. His mix casts a similar spell. Most of the songs come from ambient tape labels circa 2012—“reliable favourites”, in his words. Over 50 plus minutes, he weaves together music from the likes of Bermuda Link, Hakobune and Motion Sickness of Time Travel, creating the aural equivalent of a warm blanket.

Theory Therapy 18: Lillerne Tapes

Living Room n°8 ~ @mimilk

q. pls introduce yourself

>I’m Mim from MitamineLab, a contemporary sound archive and curatorial project from Mexico City, also a radio show. I’m an art historian/cultural manager and I currently have two jobs, as a studio manager and as a project manager.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

>I just tried to evoque the sensation of living at Mexico city, pretty eclectic and unpredictable. I truly believe that Mexico City is a land of dream where emotions are always running high.

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

>You can enjoy it wherever and whenever you want, maybe in the morning while drinking a good coffee, or even in a sunny afternoon with the company of a good shot of mezcal.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

>Is not an object per se, but I love that my living room has a view to the garden.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

>Yeah, I’m working in some music and my first EP ever. Hope to have something ready soon :)

Living Room n°9 ~ @lillerne

q. pls introduce yourself

> My name is Gabe Holcombe and I run Lillerne, a small cassette imprint based in Chicago, IL USA. 

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

> I wanted to highlight some new/unreleased material on Lillerne, as well as some older break/illbient material that I've been enjoying. And some old and new ambient favorites. 

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

> It seems like a nice collection of tunes for a walk around the city, or perhaps a soundtrack to a seat on a chair in the yard. I've been trying to make mixes lately that feel good to hear while being outdoors.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

> My cat, Ted : )

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

> I'm spending a good amount of the summer in a rural area working on some projects outside of Lillerne. But I will continue to run the label in the woods and try to keep the music coming.

Living Room n°11 ~ @theory-therapy

q. pls introduce yourself

> My name is Gary Hunter. I run a small music website called Low End Theorists and the Theory Therapy mix series, plus co-host a couple of radio shows with Daniel Patrin.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

> I recorded it after a long walk in Sydney. It’s the middle of winter just now but we tend to get really clear crisp days. I moved here about 4 years ago from Scotland and I’ll never take for granted how nice it is to wake up to sun most days. I wanted the mix to provide a snapshot of that feeling. Really calming, almost quasi-religious tracks.

q. what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

> Maybe in one of those floatation tanks. Or as you fall asleep.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

> My TV or my old, but still great CDJ-350s.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

> We’re turning Theory Therapy into a label. We’ll be announcing our first release in the next week or so.

Living Room n°16 ~ Alley Catss

Living Room n°38 ~ @petteril

q. pls introduce yourself:

I’m James Gilbert, I make music under the name Petteril. It’s emotive, textural, electroacoustic music inspired by the complexities of the human condition, nature and the parallels between the two. A dying accordion, baritone guitar, clarinet, field recordings, electronics. I improvise, manipulate and process sound to craft narrative driven musical collages.

q. is there a story behind the mix? how did it come together?

Every so often I feel compelled to make a mix. I don’t consider myself a DJ (at all!) but it harks back to the days of making mix tapes etc in college. Theres something calming and relaxing about it. There’s no real theme behind most of them, it’s just a way of collating and reorganising some of the music that I’ve been listening to recently. I enjoy doing it just for myself. Re-contextualising tracks by juxtaposing them with others that make sense. So this is just like a mixtape of bits I was listening to lots at the time of creating. Hopefully it helps people relax and go about their day.

q. in your opinion, what would be the ideal circumstances to enjoy your mix?

One or multiple of the following: On a walk. Sat in a forest. On a beach. In the rain. Somewhere windy with sound cancelling headphones. In nature. Watching insects. Drinking a coffee early in the morning. Laying in bed late at night, in the dark. Extremes of day. Very early or very late.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

Might sound a bit boring, but the table. We have a 12ftx3ft table that I made years ago when we were renovating our house. It’s just a thin profile box metal frame, powder coated black with a heavy plywood top. But it’s the heart of everything in our house. It’s where I set up musical gear from time to time, it’s where I often work, it’s where my wife sews (she makes all her own clothes), it’s where my kids colour or do craft or playdoh and it’s where we eat as a family.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

Quite a lot. I have two finished releases in the pipeline, one of which is my debut album which has just been mastered and is currently being pressed to vinyl. It will be released late in year(ish) on a label I’m super excited about (can’t say too much yet!). And another project which is perhaps a little more experimental both musically and conceptually which I’m just finalising mixes and premasters for, ready to be sent off to get mastered and released on another of my favourite labels (again, can’t say too much at this point). They’ll probably both be coming out towards the end of the year. I’m also working on a long form piece which will be a bit more of a long term project. Trying to practice clarinet, guitar where I can too.

Living Room n°60 ~ @kikimolina


q. pls introduce yourself
a. I'm kiki, from Chile

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. I made this mix on a trip to southern Chile a few months ago. They were very rainy and cold days in the forest, and I think this gave me the drive and motivation to make this selection.

q. what’s the best way enjoy your mix?
a. I think it's good to listen to alone, on a trip, walking or lying in bed.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room...
a. I've been moving around a lot lately, but I think my favorite object in my new living room is a candle tray that sits inside an unusable fireplace. It seems symbolic and romantic to me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. In fact, I am dedicated to anthropology and archeology, but musically I am the drummer of the band Lavina Yelb, and I am part of the orchestra of the Javanese GAMELAN music ensemble in Santiago.

Luisali as a music selector, focuses on hidden musik overllooked, threw a grave mistake, by many. She aims to find these treasures. Music for her should be intriging, interesting and humorous. 

Luisali originally from dresden lived in Berlin for a while where she submerged in the music scene. Then she became part of the Spettro collective in Brescia, Italy and now lives between Brescia and Vienna. Allways organizing concerts everywhere she goes.
