As we are slowly preparing to transition into winter, winding down from the NZ festival season, we are delighted to kick off our Silk Sessions Podcast. Every two weeks you can expect to be taken on a unique journey by one of our Silk Collective members.

In this first session, @mellowtact is showcasing congenial tastes from the softer side of electronic music. Mellowtact has slung grooves right across NZ from festivals to warehouse parties from early evenings to late nights & sunrises. 

Enjoy this warm and cozy hug of a set, that will still make you tap your toes. As the original chocolate Elvis once said: shake it don’t break it.

Silk Session #02 is here for your listening pleasure.
This time we feature the one and only @dylanc, predominantly known for his Bass, Jungle and DnB sets. In this set, however, he is diving deeper and deeper into the 4/4 realm. Let this mix guide you through the depths of mood-driven sound, perfectly suited for the seasonal transition from autumn to winter.

Silk Session #04 is here upon us at last. For this session we invited our dear friend Harry Charles @harrycharles to curate a story, and he delivered. Enjoy this poetic and explorative ensemble of sounds. Music speaks, all we have to do is listen.
Thank you, Harry, this is such a delight.

A deep and lucious journey brought together by @mia-kober & @dirdygerdi  in honour of the ‘Come Closer’ Album released by the dear friend of Silk -  @zukebeats. 
‘It was an honour and a privilege to open this momentous occasion and celebration. Recorded underground, surrounded by laser galaxies and friends at Neck of the Woods, in Auckland NZ.  Thanks to Loop Recordings & Ed (Zuke) for having us. A delight of a night, we are excited to share this memory and mix!’
