MW009: Ulla, 'Limitless Frame'

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 :))

Gi Gi in the mix for volume 79 with an hour of gliding, icey, rhythmic structures. He's been releasing some great music over the past few years and his mixes are always a treat. He's also got some exquisite tunes landing next year ~ keep an eye out! Thanks Gi Gi <3

Happy to welcome one of my favorite labels to the series for volume 87, Altered States Tapes. The label, which has been operating since 2010, and this mix, are helmed by Cooper Bowman (1/2 of Troth, 1/3 of Th Blsks). Highly recommend checking that Blsks record from last year if you missed it. Thanks for the mix Cooper <3

Beautiful new entry on Motion Cast this time courtesy of Cybermission, label operator of Emotional Waves. Her labels name is actually quite reflective of this mix ~  a deeply intertwined / hi-def tapestry of rhythms and moods <3

First mix of the new year comes from one of the minds behind the excellent Somewhere Press label, Caapi. 

"Music for moving away... the tangled fear, romance and nostalgia of solitary drifting through a new city.." imagined through sounds from between 1993-2004.
