Hope And Passion Guestmixes 2012 - 2022

Mixtapes

different world

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.

Filter Tapes 045 - „Global Love“ by Kasper Bjørke

"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."

Radio On Vacation With Kasper Bjørke

Perfect Speed

On Christmas Day we announced that SOULMEEX PRO would become a monthly series in 2024, so we didn't want to waste a single minute and today, we're excited to welcome a key figure in the electronic scene: Kasper Bjørke.
 
The Danish, Copenhagen based artist started making music together with Tomas Barfod (WhoMadeWho), releasing music under the name Filur and mainly active between 1999 and 2006.
 
Kasper adventures as a solo artist began in 2007 with the release of his first album "In Gumbo" on the New York based label Plant Music. Since then, Live At Robert Johnson, Mule Musiq, Permanent Vacation, Compost Music, Correspondant, Eskimo and hfn Music have all released his work - and Nicolas Jaar, Roman Flügel, Tensnake or Prins Thomas are on the roster of artists who's been charge of remixing Kasper's music.
 
His highly collaborative, ambient and neo-classical project "Kasper Bjørke Quartet" had its debut album release in 2018 on Kompakt Records with "The Fifty Eleven Project" and the sophomore "Mother" saw the light in 2022 - "a six composition LP that hints at earth’s resilience, and the promise of another chapter".
 
If you follow Kasper regularly on social media you will certainly know about his concerns and commitment to raising awareness about climate change. That commitment has since 2018 led him to play mainly European DJ gigs reachable by train, downscaling his touring activities to a minimum with the intention to lower his carbon output substantially.
 
In 2023 our fourth guest on SOULMEEX PRO has been focusing on establishing his own new ambient platform, Sensitive Records, releasing two EPs: "Junctures" with Cooper Saver and "Night Soul EP" together with El Agua Es Profunda - as well as recording a brand new album that will be released in 2024.

Kasper also found time to do the score for the latest Nike Lebron XXI film. Making music for advertisement might be one of his less known facets.

*** This SOULMEEX comes with a donation from Kasper to the humanitarian organisation UNRWA supporting civilians in need in Palestine. ***

SOULMEEX PRO

Kasper Bjørke - SOULMEEX PRO 004

Danish producer @kasperbjorke is what I would consider a true good guy on multiple levels. Not only is he one of the finest DJs around, he’s also dropping great and surprising releases on a regular basis for almost two decades now, he’s also a vocal artist when it comes to political topics. Especially environmental topics and the health of our dear planet is as equally close to Kasper’s heart as it is to mine. I consider him a brother in spirit when it comes to these things… well, and our mutual love for Balearic beats. So, obviously… I’m thrilled that he participated in my little mixtape project. His “Messy Mix” was inspired by (and compiled during) a recent train ride between Berlin and Copenhagen since Mr. Bjørke’s avoids flying as often as he can. The result is a soothing and wonderful listening experience. 

Here’s how he describes his approach:

“I always feel at my best when I am accompanied by music, in almost anything that I do. I lean on music to contemplate, to work and to dream, when cooking or cleaning, playing with my children - or when traveling, gazing through the window of a train moving through the constant changing landscapes. Mixtapes can come in handy in many occasions and have been a thing I have practiced since my teenage years. I got in the mood for making this particular mixtape during a train journey going back home from Berlin to Copenhagen, after a weekend with two club gigs. 

Going home after gigs often makes me listen to quite soothing tracks that can act as a comforting mental pillow, after days of being around new people, loud music and a disrupted sleeping pattern. There are some beats in there too to bring the journey forward too and the mix include tracks are some of my favorites, some are new and some that have stayed with me over the years… I have also added one track from my latest album Puzzles, which came out a few weeks ago. I suggest you put on this mixtape when you are going on your next journey. May it be inwards or somewhere physically.”

Apart from that, I think it also works great as a relaxing mix to welcome the spring season so you don’t necessarily need to be on a train to enjoy this sweet selection. And once you’re finished with it, make sure to check out Kasper Bjørke’s brilliant new album “Puzzles” which is out now via hfn music.
