monty mixy

'twas a breezy & bright easter Monday morning. The air was warm and it filled our lungs with optimism. The mudlarks & magpies chirped a-like, filling the space with harmonies & song. Oranges were squeezed & celery sticks munched. Bellies full of laughter & upturned lips. The tree gently swayed above us & the bodies moved in unison. Protected, together, our nest.  Looks shared, turn for turn, a partnership. Smoke rises, rays part through. "Friends for life?" "Okie Dokie!"

We invited Montana (@montana-bourke), curator of the 'Personal Space' mix series and host of Skylab Radio show 'Melting Moments', to show us how it's done at the other end of the world. 60-mins flexin' from your heel chord to your nasal wing. For those wanting to work on their cardio, Kax Mahl (@kaxmahl) is taking over after 60 minutes to keep you up and running for another hour until you can finally put this mix on repeat.

Caress Me Down The Melting Stream - Monty, Jeff & Cam live @ Wines of While

Walyalup selector Monty holds this week's Shell Tape in her hands and we couldn't be happier. The mix conjures up a raft of emotions. Moments in time, caught in the mirror of a mind and beamed back to us, warped by time and memory. A smile from a friend while preparing dinner, housemates’ laughs bounding down a hallway, the crisp sheen of a beer can discarded next to a picnic rug. 

“Reflections In A Rear View Mirror” captures such moments in the slim space of an hour - thoughts carried along by warm percussion, untethered synth tones and buoyant bass lines. Tripping from ephemeral ambience to organic downtempo cuts and life affirming house selections Tape 73 builds its own world - one where time stands still while the extra bits keep on spinning.

Track list:

Entrance - Terry Perry 
Robert Wyatt - Pigs... (In There?)
Meanderthals - 1-800-288-Slam
Billy Idol - Adam In Chains
The Delinquents - Hold Tight

A Tea Time Mix {Norrm Radio - 20.8.21}

DJ & Music enthusiast hailing from Perth, Western Australia. Curator for the Perth devoted mix series ‘Personal Space’ & host of Skylab Radio show ‘Melting Moments’. "You can usually find me on my days off sitting in my backyard under the sun listening to music & sipping on filter coffee. The type of music I tend to gravitate towards will usually contain elements of soulfulness, tenderness, emotion & a touch of obscurity. I am constantly fascinated in how music can travel through decades of time, particularly music which would have almost been lost otherwise, to reach & touch someone, who is completely displaced from it’s original context. When feelings of nostalgia wash over me whilst listening to specific songs, sometimes even songs I'm hearing for the first time, that’s one of my favourite things about music, the power & emotional control it can have over someone, a deep inexplainable connection."

Thanks to another new comer, Montana, for our first mix of the year! 

Rocking parties in her hometown Perth, supporting some very impressive names, and playing alongside the best diggers in the country, she’s no stranger to great music. However, we’re super excited to introduce her online. Tune in for breezy sounds, breezy mixing, and a showcase of that very same great music - this one’s a real treat.

A long time ago this year where I played an xxx-tended set at Daydreams, Melbourne. At the time, we had not known it were to be the last IRL party for the foreseeable future. Had I have known, I wouldn't have done anything different! 
Thank you Daydreams.

A dreamy selection of crackling vinyl in the afternoon sun delights the senses, as Montana brings us a tasty treat from the west coast's warmth and sunshine 💛 We have truly been blessed by the queen of balearica joining the commune for Ep3. 
Sit back and let the music wash over you xx

so glad to present this mix from one of my favourites over on the west coast.. apart from being at the centre of what seems to be every fun party on that side of the country @montana-bourke is the host of Melting Moments on Skylab Radio and curates the Perth based mix series @personalspace-perth. 

expect a healthy dose of dreamy selects through 75 minutes.. big tip for the street soul and downtempo fam!

Montana: "I have always been fascinated with the way music can act as a form of storytelling & communication, through provoking nostalgia and emotions. I may not be able to always express how I feel but what I can say is - I’ll let the music do the talking. Enjoy!"
