Outercast 10 | Tom Morgan

first slightly damaged edition is provided by @moltoooooo.

Part of the french crew @ORDINATEUF, Molto grew up with a dad owning bars in the early 2000's, bathing in the music of Jazzanova, Hotel Costes, Ludovic Navarre, Guidance, and many others. 
For a long time, these names were only sharpie-handwritten names on pirate CDs. First played at the bar, then in his room, now on the decks. This mix is just his humble reinterpretation of this lounge era, often cheesy, sometimes naive, yet always serene.

Enjoy.

slightly damaged vol.1  —  Molto *𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥*

next slightly damaged mix is produced by @antvers. Part of @Karagi and @decadence-paris as a DJ, he's also an passionate juice vendor at the Cadi Paris 🍷.

Born and raised in the North of France, he grew up inspired by the Belgian electronic scene of the 90's, which has led him to perpetually search for new music and inspirations, for years, without boundaries between genres and eras. 

This mix is a selection of music that touches him deeply and puts him in a state of peaceful meditation, which can be compared to floating in the air, with nothing on your mind. 
Ant Vers firmly believes in the influence of music on your mental health.

Take a deep breath, open your ears, open your heart and float on.

Enjoy.

slightly damaged vol.2 — Ant Vers *𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧' 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧*

you may know her as "Nifa", or even maybe "The Queen Of Myosotis", but today she rises as Nixe ( @nixe666 ), and delivers the third volume of the slightly damaged series.

This nostalgic, hypnotic mix, oscillating between darkness and light, reveals Nixe's feelings about an era she never knew.

She discovered music through her parents' jukebox, filled with 70s and 80s punk, rock and blues. For a while, she evolved in this bubble, almost cut off from the rest of the musical world.

But as she became emancipated, Nixe soon discovered electronic music, although evocative of the 70s and 80s, with its distinctive rhythm boxes and synthesizers, that left its mark on the era, but was hated by her parents.

Yet it was Dark Disco, Synth Wave and Synth Pop, with their sometimes pungent, often entrancing asperities - that the podcasts greatly explores - which most awakens in Nixe a feeling of nostalgia for an unknown era, this "Nostalgia Elettronica".

Enjoy the ride.

slightly damaged vol.3 — Nixe *𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚*

Léa Baldazza ( @lsuper ) delivers a mix in the form of an astrological study of people with a Lune en Poisson — or Pisces Moon — in their natal chart.

If this is your case, then "music plays an important role in your life, as you are instinctively drawn to melodies. It helps you express your emotions, which are sometimes vague or nebulous".

A progressive selection that evokes gentleness and tenderness, takes its time, and speaks to us of a melancholy look at the past. The podcast offers intense, sometimes cheesy sentiments, but which underline the romantic aspect, with just the right amount of sensitivity, of a Pisces Moon person.

Enjoy.

slightly damaged vol.4 — Léa Baldazza *𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧*

for this new slightly damaged mix, @sanmomo has crafted a slow cooked mix, mostly excavating old pirate .wavs in the depths of his hard drive, picking out tracks through chillout compilations from the 90’s and early 2000’s (Vienna scientist, Ambient Dub or Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions & more). 

The result is an introspective yet hopefully coherent journey, casually kicking off in downbeat territory before taking a twist down the rabbit hole, slowing things down into the « sluggish cognitive tempo » — a state of joyful laziness and slowness, consuidering a distortion of time, and probably a form of creativity.

Enjoy.
