The blog morpehd into the new name OFFKEY (via https://nbhap.com) but the Messy Mix took over its old Soundcloud profile.

Hope And Passion Guestmixes 2012 - 2022

The mixtape Berlin-based songwriter https://soundcloud.com/lucykruger exclusively complied for NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION, like her latest album "Transit Tapes" , lives in the paradoxical state of intimacy and alienation that we find with strangers on the train. All going in the same direction, but how often do we break the silence? As if there were some common agreements amongst strangers to remain exactly that. Yet, for the duration of the ride we inhabit a shared space. On her record, Lucy examines those spaces, the in-betweens and the almost, the melancholia and promises that transit holds. Not really a search, but an ache for something else we hope to find even if it is just by moving the couch from one place to another.

Exclusive: Lucy Kruger's Meditative Transit Mixtape

"Ever since I was a child music has been a sacred space for me to dream inside of," says Adam Miller and his recently released solo debut "Gateway" underlines that with haunting meditative sounds. . His distinctive cinematic, neo-psychedelic wave guitar play we've all come to love from his work with Chromatics is still the heart of his sound but by being freed from conventional structures it allows the artist do dive deeper into the actual sound and its dream-like state. "Gateway" is an ambient album designed with and for guitars and that's something you don't see that often these days.

For NBHAP he compiled an exclusive mixtape that works like a companion piece to the whole "Gateway" concept and it's a joyful ride. About it Miller says: "Each song in my mix is its own little world to me, and each song here creates that space for me to dream. Some of these songs have been standbys for the majority of my life. Others have entered into my awareness only more recently."

Andy Bainbridge - 27.06.25

And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes

Nicolas Motte, aka Nico Motte, is first and foremost a graphic designer, working at the Check Morris studio in Paris which he founded along with partner Mathias Pol in 2004. For ten years Nico was involved in the art direction of French label Antinote, a label on which he has also produced and released several albums; Three under his own name, Life Goes On If You Are Lucky, Rheologia, and most recently (at time of writing), 2023's The Missing Person. He has also released a record with Raphael Top Secret and Zaltan, a collaboration under the name 18 Rays. In addition to music production and his extensive graphic design work, Nico has also hosted a radio program called Depeche Motte on LYL Radio, and the mix that he has kindly submitted to The Sunrise Mixtapes is from that radio show.

Nico has selected some lovely obscure ambient percussion records by the likes of Giuliano Sorgini and William Loughborough, gradually progressing into wonky left-field digital reggae, including Romie Singh's classic 'Dancing To Forget', Desmond Coke's 'I Need Somebody', from his 1989 LP Let's Chase The Sun, and of course Sexy T.K.O.'s 'Touch Me, Take Me', just to mention a few.

DJ Harvey has been on his disco horse, riding the plains for some time, carving out a specific lyrical and influential path that many have tried to follow. Harv always shows up ready to get down, and this day was no exception. Enjoying the comedy of our car service adventures, picking up threads of conversation from the week before in Cali, and debating where and what to eat, he is present and good to go. Of late Harvey has been very busy, travelling for gigs worldwide, bringing the Locussolus project to completion, and attending to an increasingly broad range of remix duties and new material. It is always fun to have a friend drop by and play some tunes, even better when they cover such a broad range with energy and grace. Thanks Harv! Now if we can just get a cab to get us to the restaurant.

Special thanks again to Tariq and Sean for their set up and board work.
