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."

For those that know, Sean P is the man, possessing tremendous knowledge and refined taste, he takes things to the next level and keeps it adult. (Not to editorialize, but in this new - flavor of the min - 2 edits and a remix and I'm a star - triteness of the nu disco scene, someone like Sean is a necessary antidote) Check out his mixes, his edits (on Cosmic Boogie and Tirk etc..), or his super nice compilations - His "Originals" for Mudd's Claremont imprint, Destination Boogie, SupaFunkanova or Disco not Disco - with Joey Negro, or you may know his mastering and restoration work (see Brand New Wayo on Mukatsuku, or the Originals series on Claremont). Sean is a dean who has done his studies, so school up disco children and enjoy... For all things Sean check him here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sean+P.

Paul Murphy aka Mudd runs the great Claremont 56 label and has published a tremendous amount of quality music over the past 5 years. Mudd has also released music on Rong, Discfunction, Bearfunk, and Noid and been part of Bison, Smith and Mudd, Mudd and Pollard and Akwaaba amongst others. He is a busy guy, who recently celebrated 5 years of Claremont with a extensive worldwide tour. Musician, composer, DJ, label head etc... Paul is the business and he is doing things his way, on his terms. To get yourself on the Claremont 56 train and all things Mudd go to: http://www.claremont56.com

Thanks to both of these heavy hitters for starting off year two in proper fashion, and thanks to all of you for the support. More goodness is coming, we never close.

Without Keith and his DJ partner Jonnie as Optimo (Espacio), it his no understatement to say that we wouldn't be what we are today. We have lost one of the best to ever do it. All our love goes to Keith's family and friends, and to Jonnie. Thanks for everything. Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam.
