In the lead-up to Love International 2021, we’re launching Transmission to Tisno on crackaud.io – a series of b2b mixes from separate locations, featuring festival favourites and new artists joining the line-up this year.

A transfixing mix from Vancouver-based artist Yu Su and Glasgow duo Optimo. Together, they skilfully guide us through a grab-bag of genres and eras: oddball electronica, rock, left-field house and 90s techno

EVEN THOUGH WE’RE ALL INTERNATIONALISTS, FOR NOW THE BOOK WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN GERMAN.

There were concerns about a possible lack of German voices in this collection but acid legend Carlos Souffront came to our rescue and his exclusive “Europe from Detroit” mix dispels them in the most unexpected, poignant and concise way possible. Kraftwerk’s 1977 “Trans-Europe-Express” imagined the continent as a haven of post-historical nostalgia. We asked Carlos to reimagine Europe as a province of Detroit in order to invert the usual perspective.
Often, the Motor City is an object of European musical desire, filled to the brim with projections even, and especially if there is post-industrial desolation to be admired. Let’s try it the other way around. The mix expertly strides between delicacy and a sense of impending dread that culminates in a brief sequence where German history unmistakably rears its ugly head. But there is life beyond that, there has to be. This is not a mind trip, this is a body journey.

Get comfortable and breathe deeply, as sound researcher e/tape joins us this week on the mix series. Known for his expansive and cinematic podcast output over the past 15-years, his ambient explorations are masterclasses delivered in an unmistakably personal fashion.

A real pleasure to host something outside of the norm this week ahead of e/tape’s Dimensions debut this summer.
