hello again,

this mix is inspired by braid it back by pip millet and my sister's musings on the 25th of may. here i struggle with existential dread and juxtapose it with my journey of a) being positive b) being lit and b) being & loving me. 

bs musings aside, it's also a bunch of songs i've been vibing w heavy for a while and i hope you like them too. i hope you experience something will listening to them. and most of all, i hope you're taking care of yourself.

shoutout to musila and v for five for the unconditional love.

KNVL w/ nowisgood - June 2023

“Infrasound” is low-frequency sound, lower in frequency than 20 Hz aka the normal limit of human hearing. Infrasound is characterized by an ability to cover long distances and get around obstacles with little dissipation. Obstacles like walls, haters, self-doubt, and the broken system.

This entry in the Infrasound mix series is cut by @marion-muthiani aka nowisgood, we gave her an open ended request to make whatever she feels and in this case we get dark introspective vibes with a bit of a edge. When asked about the title, she said "Honestly if you’ve watched barbie you’ll know,  have you seen the scene where she says do you guys ever think about dying?" We were totally floored by this mix, hope you all enjoy!

1. ni kamotee - lukorito
2. enoughnneyou - mphilo
3. zambezi i - kojey radical
4. loose cannon - agent mgumbe
5. haiku - q the music
6. breathe of fire - the jehovas
7. why like this - teebs
8. free at last (ft. kaesa) - v for 5
