Next up!
Canada's @napmusick treats us to just over an hour of scuzzy dembow beats, techno-dancehall crossovers & sludgy electronica. 
An absolute treat this, we're honoured to have NAP join the podcast series.
We also caught up with the donny himself for a lil chat, read below >


AM: We loved your mix a lot, where and how did you record it? Was there a theme behind it?

Glad you liked it! I recorded the mix in my studio with a moody xone mixer and x2 xdjs on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I’d say the theme is release. After the drag of a 9-5 week that sacred studio time on the weekends can be so special, especially with the current Montreal curfew. Channeling that ‘living for the weekend’ vibe here with some low-slung bass music I've been digging lately.


AM: We’re big fans of your label ISLA, how did it come about?

Thank you for listening! Isla was born out of a desire to document the music happening around me. I bought a used tape duplicator from a church in Abbotsford and started making very small tape runs of friends’. It’s grown a bit since but it's still just me putting whatever I’m excited about.


AM: We think Ambien Baby is fantastic, love Sophie too from when we had her down to play in Brighton, how did you guys come about forming the duo?

Oh thank you! That’s my best friend and soul sister. We’ve known each other since we were teens. AB is a reaction to our friendship and a vessel for us to explore sound & collaborate. 


AM: Out of music what are your interests? 

I'd say the interests are vast and ever-mutating!  In general, they lay in music rituals [music making/consuming], music’s therapeutic qualities, and its tireless research/ quest for its historicity.  


AM: Whats next for you this year? 

Finishing loose ends for some recording projects that have been in the works for some time, putting out some records im very excited about and learning how to tap/ dance flamenco.

This month's podcast is by mdo from Kansas City. He's co-founder and programmer from the amazing c- label & podcast series. Who builds a home for overall deep lucid dreamy ambiances, that feels like submerging in a warm bath of evaporating esoteric oils while the world outside creaks and moves.

Raga Vibrations - 5th June 2020

rRoxymore, what happens in the theatre's lobby?

"The theatre’s lobby is a transition space between the outside world and the more protected one of the theatre. Before the performance the excitement is palpable, people rush to get their tickets or wait im-patiently for their evening date. After the show, we share a drink and reminisce about moments from the performance that have marked us the most. A place where silence promptly gives way to hubbub and vice versa."

Biography taken from Resident Advisor
 
"rRoxymore's leftfield sound comes from years of experience in different kinds of performance—she's played electronic percussion in a hard rock act, spun rare groove and hip-hop and soundtracked art installations. She learned the ropes of production in a garage in Montpelier some 15 years ago, mostly with an Akai S950 and an Atari. Later, in Paris, she took an Acousmatic Music & Composition course before moving to Berlin, where she lined up her first solo releases for Human Level, a label run by her friend Jam Rostron, AKA Planningtorock, with whom rRoxymore played on tour. She's since appeared on labels like Cómeme, Huntleys & Palmers and Nachtdigital, before further refining her style with the exceptional Tautologies EP for Macro. She was also part of a sort of egoless supergroup, Decon/Recon, alongside Rostron, Paula Temple and The Knife's Olof Dreijer, AKA Oni Ayhun."
