Following up Lou Karsh’s excellent “Ataraxia” EP we’re hitting up the Australian talent once again. This time it’s the turn of Sydney native E Davd. Manu originally got in touch with a bunch of demos just short of two years ago in the spring of 2016, so for once it’s really no exaggeration to say that this has been a “long time in the works”. Only one track from that initial offering made the release and it’s been a real pleasure witnessing Manu’s creative evolution in that time, not to mention the success of his debut EP on Manchester based label, Natural Sciences.

The self-styled Cosmic Healer turns in an EP of similar flavor to his first effort; ice cold pads, hypnotic 303 basslines and liberal use of that 707 rim shot combine to create a record shot through with reflection and melancholy. Tales of lost love and memories past course through every track. Manu sums up the inspiration behind the EP as follows:

“The meaning behind the name of the record is that it's a view of what was once my universe - now it's far away and in the past, I see it in my memory. Like a star that's millions of light years away - there's warmth and a light that still projects from it. Also, a star has a life span from birth to death - they're taken for granted to be eternal objects but they have a beginning and an end just like everything else. The light we see from a star is billions of years old - in reality the star might have died, but we still see its light, and to us this is reality. 

It's also a sneaky reference to a cheesy crowded house song lol.”

Guests are encouraged to explore a bit further into their collections with an opportunity to step away from the dance floor if they desire.

The fourth guest mix in the podcast series is from @katedoherty a DJ based in Sydney, active for over 10 years supporting a diverse range of underground acts like: Alienata; Tolouse Low Trax; Headless Horseman; Volte-Face; Xhin; DJ Sprinkles; K-Hand; Peter Van Hoesen; Luke Slater; Eric Cloutier; Randomer; Paula Temple; Delano Smith to name a few. 

Kate is just at home playing hip hop at a bar gig as much as sharing a festival stage playing industrial strength techno. I'm very excited to share this mix that is experimental in the approach to DJing as much as the actual musical content.
