so buzzing to have close friend and one of my favourite dj's ever on my series. if you're already familiar with bunney, you'll know there's absolutely nobody better to start it off.

"I haven’t recorded a mix in a long time. After months of digging, I wanted to put something together as a love letter to my beautiful friends and for the friends who have embarked on a different journey beyond the veil.

Mix of Vinyl & CDJ, opening with a track featuring Amiri Baraka’s poetry, 'A New Reality Is Better Than A New Movie!'

The poem vividly imagines the old, unequal capitalist world being engulfed in an inferno. The footage captured on film seems insignificant compared to the revolutionary reality that awaits: 'The real terror of nature is humanity enraged, the true/technicolor spectacle that/Hollywood/can't record.' Baraka anticipates that such indignation will fuel a call for 'the emergence of a new socialist reality, the impending tidal wave that will reshape the world.'

Love to @lennyposso for featuring the poem in the track, as reading it was eye-opening and set a mood I was feeling for the start of the mix.

Lots of minimal, acidy, wubby, and analogic sounds, to 2003/2005 US and UK house with a splash of raw techno grooves. An elbow to the turntable at the end of the mix adds extra authenticity <3. Was waiting on VOG by the mighty Mattias, and it finally arrived in the post, so it was a must in the mix!!! I hope you enjoy as much as I did x."
