We're very pleased to share with you this long, saucy mix straight from the soul of Louis McCoy, founder of renowned Inner Varnika festival and all-round Naarm music aficionado. 
As Louis writes:

"I've been subconsciously compiling this mix for years now, but it's made a lot more sense during the last 6 months. I think it's important to remember to feel something, whether it is pure joy or overwhelming melancholy, I wanted to cover both aspects in this and everything in between. A lot of the music in this mix really means a lot to me, from my mother's jazz influences to my teenage years on a strict diet of emo trip-hop. I wanted to make a soundtrack from literally putting the kettle on first thing on a cold Sunday morning to hopefully take you through to a semi-productive day in the kitchen with someone you love. To be honest, just enjoy it, any way you can."

Electronic Beats

Blitz x Electronic Beats — CCL [12.09.20]

D.K. creates enchanting sounds through his electronic experimentation. Meandering pads and other worldly ambient synth sounds merge to give life to releases such as 'Live At The Edge' released earlier this year on 12th Isle, while samples of the Far East and organic percussive rhythms create an energy and playfulness found on releases such as his trilogy for Parisian label Antinote; a signature touch often interweaved within his music often joined by slamming synths and deep basslines designed for the dance floor.

Much like his latest release on Good Morning Tapes, this mix explores the latter, delving into the darker reaches of D.K.'s sound, ensnaring listeners with hypnotic, high-energy percussion, bewitching vocal snippets and menacing bass that'll have you captivated from the beginning - welcome D.K.

For anyone who's caught a Tony Neptune set, either online or offline, you'll know the Leeds DJ, producer and Dimensions DJ Directory member doesn't do things in half measures. 

As both Tony and his other alias Yuri - a tip of the hat to Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space - he's no stranger to 6-hour long mixes, sometimes immortalised in his lengthy back-to-backs with fellow Leeds DJ Mark 'Turbo' Turner. 

Last month he shared his first productions with the world; a debut EP titled Reflections on a Daring Escape that moves through emotive electro and further serves as a vehicle for Neptune to tell a story for the senses, by combining his own visual paintings with the music. 

In typical fashion for his Shine A Light On mix he delivers a live recording from his three hour set at Gut Level, a party in Sheffield, just before lockdown commenced. A journey through everything from oddball wave to slow industrial, EBM, new wave and electro, the mix picks up the pace continuing to build until its climax...

"I go hard into the autumn season every year, it's an important equinox," Sarah Davachi writes. "This music fits that state of mind for me, somewhere between mellow and bountiful, gentle yet abundant."

Animals Dancing Mix 16 - JG Wilkes

It's with great pleasure to welcome long time dear friend Jonny Nash (@jonnynash) who in 2019 released 'Make A Wilderness' with us (MFM037). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Jonny, welcome to the series. So, it's already been over a year ago since Make A Wilderness came out. How do you look back on that now? 

JN: In many ways Make A Wilderness marked the start of a new chapter for me, the first steps into new territory - a wilderness you could say! That record was really about exploring a simple question - what kind of sounds resonate with me, and why. I think the record was primarily an exercise in sound, and not necessarily in arrangements or songwriting. I felt it was necessary to open the doors to new sounds in this record, and I feel like I got pretty close to creating the album that I wanted to make. 

MFM: You went to different places to record specific instruments and in certain environments. Why? 

JN: It took me a long time to make the record, not in terms of actually writing the music, but determining what the instrumentation should be. I wanted a finely balanced mix of alien, unfamiliar sounds and organic human sounds, to somehow express a feeling of “ancient future”, the sense of floating in some timeless space that could be millions of years in the past or in the future. I found that the Cristal Baschet, was perfect for expressing this feeling of “deep time”. Capable of beautiful harmonics and also wonderful atonal textures, it was a central part of the album. I contrasted these sounds with familiar instruments such as piano, vibraphone and voice. It was very important to have some sparse elements of voice in the record to somehow keep it grounded on earth. 

MFM: Have you always been that interested in sound and sound sculpturing?

JN: Well, I’m a naturally curious person and I think my brain and also my ears are always developing and learning new things. I think that I am able to hear sound in a different way than I did a few years ago. A big switch from focussing on melody as the dominant element that catches my attention. Of course, melody is still a central element for me but I now spend alot of time thinking about timbre, the colour of the sound and how the distinctive character of a sound sits in context with other sounds in a given composition. New ways of hearing influenced the record and took me to a place where “sound sculpting” was of equal importance as deciding what chords and melodies to choose. 

MFM: You mentioned earlier that the past couple of months your label Melody As Truth got a lot support through digital sales. Does that have effect on your label vision and strategy?

JN: The switch towards digital and especially streaming does undoubtedly have an effect on how I think as a label owner. It is pretty clear that this is an important area of growth and although there are lots of issues with certain platforms and revenue models, I find it important to keep on top of what is going on and try to adapt. In the future I can see the label experimenting more with digital only releases, I think there are interesting areas to explore here. Quiet dynamic music cut on vinyl in 2020 often sounds worse than a WAV file to my ears. I also buy hardly any vinyl myself these days, it is expensive, taxing on the environment and often a form of object fetishism. The other side is that a physical object looks amazing, can sound great, gives full importance to the artwork and design, can be treasured and won’t be lost. So a physical object is almost like an insurance policy for not losing the music too. I guess I’m sitting somewhere in the middle.

MFM: Thanks for contributing your mix. Can you tell us a bit about it?
 
JN: The mix is pretty much a selection of music I have been enjoying or discovered this year. A few older favourites too. I had no idea except to make something that I would enjoy listening to whilst having a walk or reading in the morning.

MFM Mix 020: Jonny Nash

This mix from @signlibrachannel is a brilliantly charismatic set of slow grooves and fast dance tracks. Beginning with the soul-jazz strut of Seven Windows’ ‘Danse Ralenti’, Sign Libra opens with a passage of hypnagogic electronic music from artists including Boards Of Canada and Dieter Reith. A variety of dreamstate beats are delivered in this first section, but around the thirty-minute mark Sign Libra ramps things up with T Power vs. MK Ultra’s ‘Mutant Jazz’, a track that has plenty of jungle in its DNA. From here on out Sign Libra blends house-indebted productions from Natural Born Grooves and The Beloved with more of the spiritualised, jazz-flecked electronic sounds of the mix’s first half.

Bleep Mix #136 - Sign Libra

featuring Tymon Dogg, Anouar Brahem, Experimental Audio Research, Accident du Travail, Georges Brassens, Derelict Flick, Twinkle³, Enoch Light, E-Unity, Jimmy Nolen, Afflicted Man, Aemon, Baba Yaga, AIR Krew, Robin Stewart, Kiki Kudo, Taste, Aly Bain, Charlie Scamp + more...
