Cerro sez: Josh asked me to make a mix for him a while ago with the prompt "play stuff you'd want to listen to at home on Sunday morning."   After a year of ruminating over what I want to listen to I gave up and did my taxes. To celebrate countless hours of organizing and filing, I decided to put together some tracks for this mix. Somewhere along the way it became a two part mix.  Probably a mistake but, hey, you get it.

Sunday Morning With Coffee 2017

SMWC.2017_02: Cerro, Part 1

Carla is a mixed indigenous artist, born and raised in the high desert of New Mexico. Her childhood was immersed in live music growing up around a recording studio and professional guitarist father. Once she discovered raves in the desert around the late 90’s- early 00’s, it sealed her fate of true connection to freedom felt dancing with the unifying energy of a heavy drum beat. She started promoting and throwing dance events in her community. After coming to San Francisco and falling in love with the Bay Area, she began creating music and djing became her soul focus. 

She has been called a lineage holder because of her vivacious focus exclusively on the vinyl/analog format and artform of turntablism. Her skill is precision and the results are pure magic translated to a dance floor. A live performance by an artist who uses their actual ear to beat match instead of pushing a sync button is a rarity today, especially in a sea washed with technology and AI where quality in art is sacrificed for convenience. For the love of music and this culture Carla has committed her heart to vinyl and teaching others.

Producing music since 2006 and djing since 2009 her style ranges from house, acid, techno, break-beat, jungle/dnb and even into downtempo, ambient, experimental noise. Her sounds could be better described as esoteric, underground, syncopated & psychedelic. With cactus prickly pear as her backbone and red chile in her blood, she weaves messages about decolonization in her art and music. From working in a record store to hosting a vinyl radio show Carla has been a part of the dance community in many ways. The last few years have been a compression of creativity, hardwork and never ending days/nights in her music studio on drum machines, synths and hardware. Sonic lift-off is almost here with @disco-soldier records coming soon centering DIY artists and vinyl!

Time for Trees is the alter ego of sound designer, musician, and artist Joshua Smith. When not making sounds for video games, he can often be found making music about the deep simplicity of human existence and its futile striving.

Make Mistakes is an eclectic collective of artists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs and DJs with a distinct love for music that is for dancing. They express this love via lovingly crafted parties, beautiful and entertaining podcasts, forward thinking and experiential techno, memory making performances, and the Make Mistakes label, which, you know, is what you're looking at right now. Pretty sweet. 

We hope you enjoy.
