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.

"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."
