Mixes

Portland's Nolid brings us YB's 12th installment with a wiggly, healing mix chock full of lovely tunes. Nolid is a fellow local radio host, with their bi-weekly ( :o ) radio show called Maté Mind. They are also a member of UwU collective, and help host and ongoing radio show on XRAY.FM. 

YB:What have you been up to lately?

Nolid: Lately… feels like I’ve been working a lot maybe it feels that way cause I’ve been working from home. But I’ve been enjoying going to the farmer’s market and cooking a lot. I started a bi-weekly radio show called Maté Mind on Freeformportland.org, with a good friend and have an ongoing show on XRAY.FM with my crew called Radio UwU. I have been going on lots of walks lately, and kind of using it as a way to listen to mixes and recharge. Trying to meditate when I can, give myself space, not overextend myself.  


YB: What was your mindset when you were recording this mix?

Nolid: Healing, I was going through it with technology, lately. Weird tech errors derailing my usual DJ flow. It was frustrating, but with the help of my friends and community, it all worked out. Also healing or a chance to take my mind off of the current state of our world. The tracks I chose have a healing quality for me and I wanted to share that.  


YB: Is there an idea behind this mix?

Nolid: Healing manifested itself in tripped-out songs that I get lost in, songs that make me feel good or make me forget for a moment. Hopeful, shiny moments. Spotlight on marginalized artists! 


YB: What is something you think everyone should be aware of? 

Nolid: There are so many things I feel like that are important to be aware of in the world at this moment but I’ve been trying my best to work on my own mental health. I feel like It’s important for people to check in with themselves and take care of themselves. Reach out you’re not alone, and also check in on your friends.

I really wish to normalize mental health awareness and care.
