SPRINGTIME SPIRITUAL Mixes - Mixes by Lexis

For the eight year, I’ve been putting together this mix which is a personal selection / exploration of healing and transformative music: songs that have a deep sense of spirituality without being religious in nature. A feeling that can be found in music of all genres, eras and cultures.

On a usual year anywhere on the planet, a beautiful spring morning feels like a precious gift. However these past 12 months have been anything but usual. I would like to dedicate this mix to all that have lost loved ones, faced difficulties and personal challenges.

Dedicated to my mom. 
Dedicated to Marc Bartissol aka Dull. Dedicated to Phil Larochelle.
Dedicated to all of us who have survived the storms.

SPRINGTIME SPIRITUAL Mix Vol. 9 (2022) — Hand-picked by Lexis

TrackFor the last 10 years I’ve been releasing this project exploring music that evokes spirituality and a connection to nature. Spiritual music that isn’t necessarily religious in nature and also has a wide musical lens, beyond spiritual jazz for example.

Spring in my hometown of Montreal always arrives at least 4 weeks later than almost anywhere in the world. And because of our long grueling winters, when springtime arrives in the city you can feel the effect on everyone’s collective mood. There’s a certain indescribable electricity in the air.

This project is dedicated to my mom.

Ahead of Saturday’s Dane’s Dance Emporium x Voyage Funktastique session this Saturday at Performance Works, we asked Walla P to contribute a mix to our Pacific Spirit series. 

As predicted, he did not disappoint! In our opinion (and many others) Walla P is one of the purest and most talented DJs in the funk, disco, and boogie sphere, and we can’t wait to see him do his thing here in Vancouver for the first time.

Here are a few words about his mix from the man himself…

“For this guest mix, I got inspired by listening to some of the previous mixes, lots of atmospheric/ambient grooves from records that came out over the last decade or so. Lots of stuff you don’t get to usually play, but I like to think that this could be the soundtrack for my flight to Vancouver.”

Enjoy the sounds, and don’t miss Walla P, Dane, and DJ D.DEE this coming Saturday. Tickets are available now on Resident Advisor. 

Tracklist: Midnight Runners - Love Calling
Arp 101 - Groove
Devonwho - Cruise Control feat. Zackey Force Funk & I.Ced
Junior Williams - Cash Maniac
Manuel Darquart - I’m Not Over You

I am constantly working on mixes, guest appearances or radio sessions. My musical mind is always occupied on the two or three projects that are on my plate. However, my annual spring mix has become my favorite, it remains on my mind all year round. 

Initially the inspiration came from the fact that Winters in Montreal, Canada are so tough, lasting 6 months of the year instead of 4. Once again this year it explains why the mix is out late April instead of late March, we just broke the freezing point a couple days ago! 

The idea behind the mix is to present songs that have a certain spiritual, beautiful, powerful, and inspiring quality to them. Of course as I always do I try to pick across many genres and eras. From spiritual jazz to modern classical, to hip-hop back to house music.

This mix is dedicated to my mom. This was one of her favorite projects of mine.

Wishing you all a lovely spring!

SPRINGTIME SPIRITUAL Mix Vol. 5 (2018) - Hand-picked by Lexis

For the 7th year now I have been marking the arrival of Spring with this spiritual mix which has become the project that is closest to my heart. In case you're wondering, in Montreal springtime arrives in April - seems like our 6 month winters steal a month of autumn and one from spring.

All year long, I save song ideas in a little notepad just for my Spring mix, it's the only DJ mix that is truly on my mind all year long. It is an exploration of spirituality in all its musical forms, jazz to house to reggae and more.

For me, it's also a form of catharsis and annual goal post marking another year of growth, challenges. I hope this year's edition can provide some inspiration, solace and happiness. I wish you all well during these challenging times.

Dedicated to my mom. Dedicated to my friend Marc aka dull. Dedicated to all of us who have survived life's storms.
