Merph is Sarita Carol Herse, one of Sydney’s most innovative and exploratory DJ-producers. Since first emerging on the Australian scene over a year ago, her mixes, music and Apparent Motion show have become synonymous with the high-intensity sounds of drum & bass, jungle and dubstep, but Herse’s musical palette extends well beyond the constraints of the dancefloor.

Her Theory Therapy mix is proof of that. It retains the DJ’s deft ear for emotionally moving, immersive soundscapes but eschews the sounds of the club entirely. Compiled in the warm, inviting atmosphere of her best friend’s home in Canberra, her selections comprise of ambient, improvisational jazz, ethereal vocals and spoken word pieces.

As hinted at by the more introspective sounds she’s gravitated towards, Merph’s mix is a highly personal one. The DJ and producer has said that it follows her own experiences lately, from coping with isolation to having important but emotionally exhausting conversations about race and racism. “I’ve been processing a lot of rage and sadness about this, as well as confusion and shame about feeling the need to justify myself to people” she told us. Over 14 tracks, her selections masterfully convey these emotions. From the pensive sadness of ‘(Something)’ by Planning For Burial to the calming tones of Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s ‘Sunset Village’ to the inspiring and sublime ‘Scarlett’ by Frederik Valentin & Loke Rahbek, Theory Therapy 11 is a powerful, emotionally complex story we all ought to listen to. It can be soothing, dissonant, hopeful, restorative and inspiring, often all at once.

Theory Therapy 11: Merph

Skylab Mix ~ Plastic Dreams Episode 1

Fifteen is the number of minutes in one quarter of an hour. Sometimes, a friend could visit you at a quarter past eight in the evening. You would greet them with a hug at the door and then invite them in to eat dinner with you. Fifteen is an odd number. Sometimes in life, you notice a tone of sadness resting gently below the surface. Lean into the blue with curiosity. Staying with it for a while, you might find that it shifts to beauty.⁣

Much like those tasty droplets that spray your face when you have to open a bottle of vino with a wooden spoon (don't ask,) this week we present another mid-week wake up from Wines of While. It's @colbaba, recorded live at Comfort Zone.

Treating all of us to an extra special all vinyl workout as the sun set on a Sunday, Col embraces the easy going musical vibe with a aplomb. Worldly beat science, squiggly synthesisers straight fromspace and pads smoother than an aged tempranillo are all on display over the course of this wonderful hour. It's a bright orange cruise down West Coast Highway in a floating car with the wind hitting just right.

Whack the Tape on and be whisked away, it's more of a listening experience than 'just a mixtape,' maybe keep things real and tune in during literal (or figurative) sunset . Spaghetti arrabbiata and lightly chilled glass of whatever is our suggestion - don't forget to get up and have a groove as well.

Skylab Radio - Occident  E4 - Vartan & Norachi

For this month, we have a very special guest selector and dear friend, Jodie, holding it together (aren't we all?) for the second hour. 

Along with her partner Saad, she runs everyone's favorite bar, The Little Jerry. God knows how many saucy nights I've had there– early into the morning, dancing, on god knows what, barely holding it together (aren't we all?), having the TIME OF MY LIFE. Each week, we'd all compete for who on staff would win the ultimate title of being Head Cockroach (a nice 4-armed race to the dump).

I can't tell you how much I love her. And it's a deep pleasure to have her in for this month's radio show. So pop something bubbly, sit back and tune the heck in.

P.S. Small Jerry just launched a new mix series which may be in your interest to check out>>>>
@smalljerry

As always, no rules, no format. PLEASURE FOREVER.
