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 :))

An album that struck me deeply this year was the debut by Gothenburg based artist Astrid Øster Mortensen. On “Gro Mig En Blomst”, she crafts eerie, timeless, and warm songs from her voice, field recordings, and various instruments, all to great effect. The mix she’s recorded for Motion Cast features songs from Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and the US, as well as some music of her own. Highly recommend checking out the label that released her album, Förlag För Fri Musik, as well. I’m just scratching the surface of the Gothenburg scene but the range of styles coming from this crew is intriguing!

First Motion Cast of the year comes courtesy of the incredible Pittsburgh based DJ Kiernan Laveaux. Every recording of hers is uniquely absorbing and this ones no different. Here are some words by her about it: 

"This mix was recorded completely within the momentum of a moment in November 2020, a nonlinear progression into further unknowns in a year of the furthest unknown. Together these songs form a reflection on abundance & loss, but also the wisdom & bliss to be experienced within nonbeing. First Thought, Best Thought. Thank you to the listeners and dreamers of another world"

giraffe - climate 1
lifted - mint
alona - it takes
bookworms - walled garden
robert aiki aubrey lowe - the dead past

Volume 82 is a tribute to the great Simon Fisher Turner, put together by Leonid Treskunov who is based out of New York. S.F.T has been involved in an unusually wide range of music projects over his career (not to mention his success as an actor).  His work in music has ranged from composing soundtracks for films, playing in bands (most notably “Deux Files”), as well as recording and releasing material (to this day) under his own name and various aliases. Leonid has found a thread with this mix that highlights a particularly tender side of Turner’s catalogue. Much love to Leonid for putting some serious love into this one!
