Coming across the Aotearoa / New Zealand based duo of Brooklyn Mellar and Ike Zwanikken's Hysterical Love Project has been one of the nicest music related surprises of 2021 for me. Their album, "Endless Bliss Weekener", hits a sweet spot somewhere between the 4AD / Projekt universe and early 2000's / late 90's downtempo. I'm so excited to have them contribute a mix to the series... (which features an unreleased demo of theirs :))

Motion Cast Vol. 97: Stonesheet

False Aralia gracing the Motion Cast with his first publicly available studio mix. Infectiously rhythmic, varied, primitive sounds from a person who’s been making some of my favorite music of the last decade. Those who spend the time connecting the dots between his various projects are in for a realll treat. This one feels like a subconscious (or maybe intentional?) selection of songs that highlight many of the lovable things about his productions, explored through the lens of music across a spectrum of time and moods.

MW008: Pontiac Streator, 'Triz'

Vol. 56 is an immersive 2 hour recording by Latvian artist Artur Strekalov aka mu tate. He first appeared on my radar with his EP “Static” released on Edited Arts in 2019, and since then has been releasing bits and pieces on Bandcamp. This mix he's put together is an unhurried, consistently engaging dive into slow sonics.

Vol. 60 comes from a bigg favorite, Nina. She was based in New York for a while but recently relocated to Australia, and the themes that inspired this mix feel reflective of that transition: “memory, distance, the weather, writing and solitude”. As always from her, it's a thoughtful and heartfelt selection of songs, and is unique in the ground that it covers. 

“Shouts out to The Lot Radio, Working Women, and Nowadays”
