For the 14th episode of our series, we host Kiernan Abbott from @fragmentsinwax, a project that started started in 2020 focusing on long lost sounds from decades ago, through mixes, digging and selling impeccably curated records.

For this mix he selected stuff centered around soft and sleazy pop, with a couple of DAT tapes that were never publicly released. Get ready for 1 hour full of bombs you didn’t know you needed and will soon become in-demand classics

Four Waves W/ Loveshadow

Step foot inside Melbourne's @waxflowerbar and you're more than likely going to bump into one of the nicest dudes I've met.. Jimmy Pham a.k.a Walter Majik. His record collection is on constant display behind the bar.. the shelves packed full of oddball gems that sing through two beautiful bespoke speakers. For me, he is one of the city's best at digging for the weird and wonderful.. slept on heaters that you wish you had. With picnic season (lol) officially in full swing.. pair this with a WF inspired orange and a group of your nearest and dearest!

Jimmy: "For this mix, I tried to conjure a soundtrack of music from past to the future. Usual gentle start, paired with crisp street soul, hip hop and downtempo leftfield grooves before transcending into a tribal journey. There's something for every taste and mood, hope you enjoy the vibes"

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH BALEARIC BANANA ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: Hey guys, thank you for inviting us, it’s a pleasure to be a part of your lovely series :)
After trying to prepare a lot for mixes over the time, we realized we don’t really work that way and where never satisfied with the result. So nowadays we discovered a ritual that works out really well with us. For this mix we looked into our collection for new digs that could suit the podcast vibe, grabbed a cold beer, lighted up a cosmic incense and just let the vibe flow ^^

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: We don’t really have a record in this mix that we assosiate with a special story, but we now can say that the whole mix will forever give us a very nostalgic feeling since we had the opportunity to play many of the records played in the mix at a festival in the Ukrainian mountains, at the self care & tea floor. It was the fist time for us to play sitting down, and it was a very special experience <3

Q: Do you have a special digging process and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a Record?

A: I wouldn’t say that we have any kind of special digging process. We just love to go digging, so we try to go to flea markets and record shops as much as we can. Always having eyes wide open for the unexpected 

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: It’s not actually a record, but a cd, it was unfortunately
never sold on Discogs :( 
It’s from a Brazilian band called Karnak, the ep is “Comendo uva na chuva(faraó mix)” which translates as “eating grapes in the rain”
I’ve even tried contacting the band and it’s manager without any success, so if anyone out there has this file, it would make me extremely happy!

Q: Music bonds people together. Any local heros/crews/parties/shops/... you would like to shout out? 

A: Big s/o to Deniz Arslan from small talk who is making one of our favorite parties in Berlin! Also to our brother Gilberto from isle of wax, to Dave & Mark + the whole Fandango crew who kindly invited us to play in their amazing festival in Ukraine. And one big S/O to a not so local hero, our fabulous sister, queen from the ctw podcast, Mimi <3

Hallooo Mix Series No. 9 – Balearic Banana

@in-form

Jordan and Tom of in-form return with a long overdue mix of downer Folk/AOR plucked from the depths of the wilderness. The duo have taken some well earned time away from social media and have been slowly building an archive of untouched music, soon to be added to the Repress demand lists on discogs.

This mix is truly one for the mid winter walk, ice cold acoustics and rocky climbs through a meander of outsider wonders that are untested until now.
