Altered Soul Experiment / NTS FEBRUARY 21

While dropping their self-titled debut LP with us in August, Anya and Izaak from Loveshadow (@loveshadowdjs) were kind enough to also record a lovely mix and answer a few questions. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Izaak and Anya, nice to have you on board. Both living in Bay Area, how would you describe your daily surroundings? Is it a nice place to be as an artist?

LS: Right now we live in SF. We grew up one town away from each other near the airport, though we didn’t meet until much later. The landscape is inspiring for sure- we spend as much time as we can out in the parks and wild areas and draw a lot from that. The art and music scenes here run deep, though the cost of living and of course covid have made things tougher.
 
MFM: The songs on your debut album as Loveshadow -which will be out in August- sound incredibly fresh where they also remind to certain pop, boogie, funk and even house from the mid and late '80s. What were some of your main influences for this project? 

LS: Thanks! We have to mention the UK act Fashion after whose song we named the group, but our tastes range all over. You could say that Loveshadow is kind of a lap around the 80’s prehistory of today’s dance music, when things were still firmly rooted in pop songwriting but had a simultaneously psychedelic and funky sensibility- one that grew out of dub/disco/punk counterculture. Getting more serious about learning the records at the roots of the whole thing allowed us to see how we might contribute something new to it in a way that was more than a style exercise.

MFM: Of course also the use of specific instruments ad up to that flavor - it seems that for example the Linndrum plays an important role. Did you aim for that sound and gathered the instruments around it, or the other way around maybe?

LS: We had an overall idea in mind that definitely informed the instrumentation but we’re not purists. A lot of the sounds on the record are replications of or deviations from the iconic originals. Those famous drum sounds in particular are like symbols, they impart a particular meaning and we use them to set a mood.

MFM: What's the dynamic between the two of you like in the studio? Is there a certain steady structure or does this change all the time? Maybe you could tell a little about your writing and recording process?

LS: It changes all the time- we’ve lived and worked in so many places separately and together since we started recording. Either one of us might come up with an idea that we’ll design sounds around, demo, arrange, and then throw it all in the trash and start again. Most of the songs on the record have had a few lives.

MFM: It feels that the music from the LP could work really well live on a stage too. Are there any plans for you to go touring? 

LS: We’re going to play a gig in Detroit later this summer that will be sort of a test run! After that, we’ll see. The project started out as an interest in records and recording, but anything’s possible.

MFM: Thanks a lot for contributing! It seems you quite regularly record a mix. Have you both always been busy collecting and sharing records? 

LS: Our pleasure, thanks so much for asking us! We’re always looking for new music. Sharing mixes online has helped us organize our favorites but playing parties is the best. We were gigging around before covid and we’ll hopefully get back to it as things continue to open up. This mix is definitely on the hype side of things- new digs, old favorites, some edits, tunes pals graciously sent our way, and what we’ve been dancing around our apartment to while we were stuck inside.

MFM Mix 030: Loveshadow

"I actually made this mix as a way to compile all the music that I'd been running to lately. Over the summer I signed up for the New York Marathon and while most might train to more aggressive music I found that a mellow mix suits me a lot better. I wanted to make a mix that reflected those runs by focusing more on flow than having the rarest tunes. I had a blast making it and was even able to listen to it during the big race this past weekend. And while the mix couldn't save me from paralyzing leg cramps around the halfway point it was a great soundtrack to my 15 minute stay in the medical tent.  I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I had making and running to it." - @enterthelloyd

JAZ - Greatest Hits (pt. 3 - deep & weird)

Of all the mixes I've ever made, my last Bar Part Time Mix is easily the one I come back to the most. So when I was given the chance to join the prestigious "BPT Two Timers Club" I wanted to do something cool. For this mix the original goal was to keep the same energy as the last one but in that process I think I created something entirely new. No sophomore jinx here, just a chill mix of aggressive sound bath jams to combat the misery of the coming holidays. - @enterthelloyd

Greg Caz sent this to us many years a go and am just rediscovering it.  For those looking for a 60s/70s Brazilian beat primer, this is it.  24 tracks of goodness featuring Gilberto Gil, Tim Maia, Azymuth, Cassiano, Trio Ternura, etc.

THE BRAZILIAN BEAT MIX: BAILE FUNK 1 (2004)

The grand finale of my Downtempo Forest Trilogy comes correct with my favorite mix of the series. Farina takes you on a deep, funky, jazzy, mystical, and psychedelic trip through the mind of a true mixmaster and crate digger. I wish I had a track listing because I would love quite a few of these tracks for my own collection! Hope you enjoy.
