Silky drum automations, warm pads and liquid vocals are just some of the sonic delights offered up by rising star Asha Franco for Volume 7 of our Global Sounds series. This will be on rotation here for some time! With a thought from Asha below, press play and enjoy the trip.

"When the weather’s been rainy all week in the northern rivers, it's a wonderful opportunity to take time for myself, to really listen to music, discovering new.

It feels very organic to move into different genres and darker places.

Get in touch with the psychedelic/electronic soundscape this mix has to offer. Move your body around the moody lounge light and incense smoke, the feelings deliciously soft and warm."

Here it is friends our final Volume of the year, Global Sounds Vol 12, it's a special one. Mehdi El-Aquil the man behind Condesa Electronics who for the past decade has been quietly assembling some of today's most sought after DJ mixers and Equalizers graces us with a solid hour of dub and rare sounds from far flung locations pulled from his rather impressive and ever expanding record collection. Dig in!

"The recording was done on the fly, I didn't pre plan it, I just got a stack of records together that would suit, revisited a few faves, and stayed away from mixing and went for the selection approach. It's a laid back Sunday session that leans towards dub sounds but travels around a bit, I tried not to be predictable."

If you'd like to hear more from Mehdi follow him on Soundcloud where you'll be regularly treated to more Aural Delights via his Radio Al Hara, Aural delights mixes.

DJ Possum with Volume 5 of Global Sounds and I'm not going to say much more than that, other than to say, read her account below of how this mix came to be and just listen, it's quite something.

"I just wanted to remember the day I decided to share this music, I wrote this and how I was feeling.

Other worlds, Other Sounds... it reminded me that music was always this to me: a traveling vehicle, escaping, dreaming, shifting my mood... meditating on these sounds it's a bittersweet feeling, like I thought I should make a fun mix, I thought, it should be a celebratory, joyful feeling and it's so hard to bring myself to be content with just that. It needs to be connecting me with the rest of the world and what we are going through, spiritually.

Not being from Australia and having family overseas didn't allow me to ignore the doors of apocalypses, so here you have something to look inwards."
