Our next guest @luxxuryproblems is a hidden gem when it comes to Germany's underground music, 
releasing on one of the most exiting label @spa_recordings, run by Phillip Jondo, DJ Brom and Friday Dunard.
Debuting on SPA001 - safe needing attention - VA and later releasing - Inhale, Aerosol, Recovery (Non Sequitur)- that ranges sounds from atomic clock like rhythms to heavy drones.
His sonic perspective is a new, exciting, reflecting one that we can only recommend to visit regularly.

"I loved the motif of keepsakes, memorabilia, and enchanted objects present in some of the works. A locket is at once a past moment frozen in time, a future promise, a charm, a secret, a key, or a portal to an imagined world. The mix tries to embody the time-space-portal-power of these enchanted objects by hazily moving between imagined and surreal dreamscapes – a soothing fairy-tale bedtime-story flows into an eerie lullaby; a hopeful, glistering paradise fragments, shatters, and crumbles into a wistful false memory of a past perhaps never lived. 

One central feeling present throughout the mix is that of a quiet nostalgia. I guess it is reflective of the longingness and introspective aspects of envisioning future utopias – in yearning for that ‘place where we can be together’. " 

Commissioned by Stanley Street Gallery for 'a place where we can be together', an exhibition inspired by the work of Chicana cultural theorist, writer, poet, artist, and a queer-feminist scholar Gloria Anzaldúa. 'a place where we can be together' will be open from May 25 - June 18, 2022, curated by Claire de Carteret.

"tracing oneiric trails 
someplace in between
the horizon tilts
leaning towards what is yet to be
and not-yet will never be
the contours of some place
uncertain longing
nostalgia for a future that’s not-yet
and will never be"

A mix made in conversation with the curatorial premise of 'Loss of Horizon' The exhibition 'Loss of Horizon' considers different frameworks of vertigo and disorientation as starting points to re-imagine temporal senses and a fragmented sense of being in the world. 'Loss of Horizon' is current from November 16  till December 10 2022 at Stanley Street Gallery, Sydney.

Daphné Pascal used to run the legendary Antwerp record shop and label USA import together with her brother Nikolai, a shop that was actually started up by their parents. Daphne and Nikolai have now relaunched the USA Import record label, intent on rereleasing gems from the incredible USA Import catalogue, next to new music by contemporary artists. Steeped in musical knowledge, she is a co-initiator of Antwerp community radio station We Are Various where she has a show focused on experimental sounds both clubby and not. Her musical selection, whether at a party or for the radio, emphasises wonder, an open mind and a complete lack of pretension.

Daphné Pascal betrieb den legendären Antwerpener Plattenladen und das Label USA Import zusammen mit ihrem Bruder Nikolai, ein Geschäft, das tatsächlich von ihren Eltern gegründet wurde. Daphné und Nikolai haben das USA Import-Label nun neu aufgelegt, mit der Absicht, Schätze aus dem unglaublichen USA Import-Katalog neben neuer Musik von zeitgenössischen Künstlern erneut zu veröffentlichen. Mit ihrem musikalischen Wisen ist sie eine Mitinitiatorin des Antwerpener Community-Radiosenders We Are Various, bei dem sie eine Sendung führt, die experimentelle, teils clubtaugliche Klänge in den Fokus rückt. Sei es im Radio oder auf Partys, ihre musikalische Auswahl soll Neugier wecken und die Offenheit und Unvoreingenommenheit zelebrieren.

Arp - Autumn mix 180923

In the poorest suburb of France (93 aka neuf-trois), into the city of Romainville, there is a public forbidden forest that grew after the closure of a gypsum quarry, sixty years before. I went there each morning when I was living around. This forest was my refuge. One day, the authorities decided to cut a big part of the trees to build a leisure center. I was heart-broken and never came back there, as I moved because of the growing rent and other reasons. From this moment, I dreamt a lot of this forest. Three years later, I came back to it. I was wondering if my dreams was accorded with the today's reality of these beautiful woods. So I recorded sounds there and built a music mix with them.

Our next mix is by Laila Sakini. Her story is one of a reflection of her own imaginative and dosed work. And it set our day in motion perfectly. 
Expect a selection of unreleased songs from Melbourne friends, and music that touches the ambient, art pop and Illbient / Triphop territories.
While we are still in the midst of this global pandemic, that is not reflected in Laila Sakini's vibrant release output this year. Thank goodness some labels and artists are still able to keep pushing records that let us sunbathe in beauty in these cold times, and make our lives a little more beautiful in these days. 
Laila released this year a beautiful album on Total Stasis just before Covid kicked in, did an EP on Boomkat and Self Released 2 EPs.
As London-based, Australian DJ and musician, her work is characterized by serenity, friction and openness.
