The online radio station Retreat Radio has acted as a unifying force on the underground scene in Malmö for close to a decade and now offers its first compilation of original music from its vast community.

A community grown exponentially like a virus, with Retreat Radio as the source of infection, comprised of artists in various stages of despair revelling in hazy ambient, angular industrial rhythms and post-dub influences. Now bringing you 24 tracks of frog-induced head music made for a sad generation that wanted to be club kids but had no club to go to.

Many - if not all - of the names behind this mammoth of a compilation are Retreat residents with current or past monthly shows on the programme. Many of whom have walked the stark lit street at the outskirts of town at night to climb a spiral staircase above a carwash to play their shows.

Loosely centered around the interpretation of dub as a genre, the compilation hand-picks a curation of tracks which nonetheless point to a coherent vision: that of dub as a vital cornerstone in the development of new music reflecting on an urban post-capitalist environment.

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. hi Living Room,
First of all, I’d like to thank you for the opportunity — I really like you all.
I’m Sandro, I’m a painter and I occasionally DJ as well. I’m part of the Tundra collective and I’ve recently started making music — and that’s thanks to you, as Living Room influenced me a lot. Thank you for that!

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. I’m not sure, but it definitely gives me a lot of chills.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Looking at the sea — or whatever way you feel most in tune with while listening :)

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. it’s an old piece of furniture where my mother kept all kinds of stuff, and those things are still inside.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. Yes, I’m currently working on a painting about my uncle who passed away recently, and I would also like to dedicate this mix to him, as I love him.

Cephalopods

A dark, immersive ambient track blending fear and serenity. Performed live, DAW-less on modular synths, then recorded and mastered in Ableton. Evolving drones and textures create a haunting, meditative atmosphere.
