Sessions 12 - Luke Mele
“Fifth and Spring”

For Sessions 12, I tapped one of LA’s finest selectors, kindred spirit Luke Mele.

Luke delivers a 2.5+ hour marathon — a morning-time sipper that eases into an afternoon dance delight. It’s a lush journey through summertime spiritual jazz, fusion, soul, and disco, all pulled from crates at the iconic Last Bookstore in downtown LA.

Over the years, Luke has spent time digging at the shop, which he says holds a very special meaning to him. Hence the name of the mix: “Fifth and Spring.”

You're listening to Field Trips, on @netil-radio, hosted by Nick Cobby (@fieldtrips)

This month, Field Trips welcomes Mexican DJ @la_marea_marea for a very special guest mix. 

Marea Marea is known for her rhythmic and infectious approach to DJing, focussing on a range of genres and energetic tracks that make you move on the dance floor. Here she turns to her love of deeper selections on the leftfield side of house - music that mixes genre styles in a more unconventional way and drawing on her love of UK sounds.

Thank you so much Mariel for the mix, its amazing!! 
Nick takes the controls for the first hour.

Enjoy the trip...

Field Trips - Leftfield House w/  Marea Marea

Words by Nick Fatouris from Field Notes | @fieldnotesintl


This story is in two parts; the first is about Field Notes. Let's start there. Field Notes is a project started by my dear friend Sam that I quickly latched onto. It's a left-field music event series. We focus on intimate, community-driven parties that are stripped back and fully tuned in to the sound.

We wanted to be involved in the music scene in Amsterdam, but didn't really resonate with anything. Both of us being expats, we decided to create something ourselves, no matter how small. Nearly three years later, we’ve hosted over 20 parties, with some of my personal favourites being Charlie Bones and Sound Metaphors.

To go a little deeper into my own experience with music, I haven’t often put my thoughts on DJing into words. Most of the time, when I’m mixing at home, I’m simply trying to make sense of my ever-growing library (and my shrinking hard drive). The result is usually a mixed bag that reflects whatever mood I’m in. But lately I’ve been thinking more about what informs my taste, and why I feel drawn to cataloguing music, putting together mixes, and DJing at all.
My earliest memory of how music could capture a mood was watching skate videos as a kid. Each skater would choose a track that represented them, their style, and their personality. Over time, as you kept watching their parts, you could see them evolve. Their music taste might shift wildly, and their style would change along with it.

I think I’m still doing the same thing. Every mix I make is an attempt to capture who I am in that moment, what I’m into, and how I’m feeling that week. Partly, it’s for others to get a sense of me. But it’s also for myself, so I can look back and see who I was at a certain time. I love that you can get to know someone through their mixes, just like you can understand a skater better by watching all their video parts.

*Recorded live at Nick's home in De Baarsjes, Amsterdam (2025).

Free Again Part Two

Blue-eyed Medusa

An independent platform for cultural and creative consumption. 

Fables is a mix series that turns DJs into storytellers. Each recording will be accompanied by a written piece from its creator: words sparked by the very sounds they’ve woven together. Whatever surfaces in their minds while listening to the session is what belongs on the page. From diary-like reflections, dreams retold, fragments of fiction, cherished memories–anything goes. 

Fables encourages musicmakers to light up parts of their brains that may have been sitting idle and see what spills out.
