<2 (two and under): Vol. 11

This is a remix of Forest Lawn (Westside Gunn featuring 2 Chainz & Armani Caesar) and Boa (Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes)

Forest Lawn x Boa

Contrary to what the title of this mix suggests, there is not a Sade track in sight, (sorry to disappoint any of you ;) ) I chose the title because it perfectly communicates why and for whom i made this: the anti-Valentine heroes, heroines and gentlethems among us. It is a companion for quiet reflections on love of many kinds. It is separate from any binaries, stereotypes, and of course the looming shadow of the patriarchy that is ever present - especially around a commercial holiday such as Valentine's Day.
   Even though the creation of this holiday and its perpetuation in the media + commerce is problematic in so many ways, as a dj it is my favorite holiday by far - the one that gets me the most inspired to create and share music. My primary currency as a person and artist is emotion - so this is THE time of year that triggers, cuts and sings to me the hardest, deepest, loudest.
   As well as providing an anti-Valentine's companion for the season, this particular selection of tracks exemplifies all of the music I lean on and enjoy when i'm not prepping for a dancefloor-oriented gig: soothing, gentle, filled with caring + positive messages, atmospheric, abstract. Allowing the mind to rest and to wander.
   The final track of this mix is especially important to me - one of my favorite single releases from last year by my friend Niia. Her voice is liquid gold; her songwriting is perfectly human and direct. I listen to idk what to tell my friends every time i take off or land in an airplane, and I have been doing a LOT of traveling recently. The rest of 2024 will be more of the same.
   I'm known for spinning vinyl, but all of the tracks featured in this mix came to me through digital means. Yes, we all hate that streaming-service-that-shall-not-be-named, but we love discovering great new music too. I've trained the algorithm to bring up the most random and obscure shit to me on a regular basis - and of course it still feeds me all the neo soul and b-side grooves that i am a sucker for.
      I hope you all enjoy this mix, and that it serves as a lover to you this season. If you like what you hear, please support the artists featured via their bandcamps wherever possible.

Black and White Memories Ignited by the Scent of Springtime (w/ Lila Tristram) out now:
https://thelastdinosaur.bandcamp.com/album/black-and-white-memories-ignited-by-the-scent-of-springtime-explode-in-colour

"As if airing some precious lost and unmixed tapes from a recently discovered secret studio session involving Vashti Bunyan and guest players that Ivo Watts-Russell once conscripted from his extended 4AD family for This Mortal Coil albums." Concrete Islands

"This album is wistful and downbeat, yet comforting and captivating. It's a beautiful work of art, and a wonderful display of musical talent. Brilliant stuff." Fog Songs

Wholeness (released 2020): https://thelastdinosaur.backl.ink/wholenessalbum

"Wholeness is wonderful. Rarely has sorrow sounded so seductive." Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3

"A deeply personal record and all the more affecting for it." Electronic Sound

"A very personal & artistic triumph, ‘Wholeness’ shimmers and dazzles like no other. Truly outstanding."
★★★★★ Get Ready to Rock

"The ultimate message of the album is that hope remains possible even in the hardest of circumstances. Demons can be conquered, at least for a time, long enough to declare the essential goodness of life." A Closer Listen

"Wholeness speaks to the heart with unrelenting intensity." Echoes and Dust

"This follow-up is poles apart from its predecessor. To use a Talk Talk analogy, if The Nothing was the semi-mainstream The Colour of Spring, Wholeness is a leap into Spirit of Eden/Laughing Stock territory." No More Workhorse

"Prepare yourself for a timeless moment of twenty-six minutes of delicate reverie between trembling folk, orchestral, and rainy ambience."
★★★★ 1/2 Sound of Violence

“Life is a muddled melting pot of uncertainty, joy, emptiness, confusion, hope and longing, one that we only drift through for a brief time before realising that everything is temporary and there are no real answers, and this album is no different.”
82% Belwood Music

"Wholeness is an acknowledgement that a human’s state is always temporary and mostly random, whilst at times exponentially breathtaking."
7.5 out of 10 Live4Ever

The Nothing (released 2017): smarturl.it/TheNothing

"Elegiac, cathartic, rewarding, and beautifully moving."
★★★★ Uncut Magazine

"A labour of love about life's transience and fragility."
★★★★ Mojo

"An extended meditation on life, death and memory."
★★★★ The Independent

"This profoundly personal album will linger long."
★★★★★ Music News

"All told, it’s the kind of record you could obsess about; the kind of record you’ll foist on friends, music that you know you’ll be playing months from now. Highly recommended."
★★★★ The Skinny

"Poignant."
★★★★ Classic Pop

"A wide-screen dreamscape of a record, brimming with emotion without ever becoming maudlin."
★★★★ NARC

"It's one of the albums that just needs to be heard."
★★★★ Norman Records

"An outstanding second album & mesmerising musical journey."
★★★★ AmericanaUK

"To say this is one of the best albums of 2017 doesn't do it any justice. It's beautifully written & composed, from its delicate atmospheres to its sweeping harmonies and bright, elaborate arrangements. One of the most accomplished indie folk albums you'll come across this year besides Father John Misty's Pure Comedy."
91% Sound & Silence

"It's soul bearing, heart wrenching & most importantly; breathtakingly honest. These qualities are the hallmarks of truly great artistry and Jamie Cameron has firmly cemented himself as a time transcending artist of impeccable quality."
The Line of Best Fit

"The Nothing manages to be elegant without pouring into the lachrymal or the neurasthenic. And just for that, it deserves all your attention." TSUGI

"The Nothing is an album of transcendent beauty and is one of the finest pieces of music I’ve had the privilege of reviewing."
93% -Belwood Music
