Pu Erh & Wax

Becoming a regular stage warmer for the Mood Swing & Chevy Bass Block Parties has presented a good excuse to get out of the house and share some much loved tunes of a slightly funkier variety alongside dear friends and some incredibly talented international acts...
.
For this instalment we gathered at The Triffid and the brief was to begin the moment doors opened and warm up the space by toeing the line of a vibe that begs the question "Should we get a drink?" or "Should we have a dance?" then handover to the rest of the funky little relay team assembling for the eve. Shout out to Jamie Forest, Father Funk, Clitoverse, Djonn, Wilma, Sharif D, The Freshmaker, The Sponges and of course MSCB.
.
I count my blessings to have these opportunities to express myself and connect with others through a mutual love of the music that we can't help but move and groove to, the kind that makes us feel, helps us heal and above all else connect with ourselves via the rhythms and melodies that feel at home in our bodies for reasons far beyond our understanding.
.
As always all my thanks goes to the original creators of each and every track stitched into this offering now and forevermore etched in my memory as belonging together 🖤

Setting the tone for the day ahead at the Boombox Stage on Sunday at Earth Frequency Festival was an absolute deeeeelight!
.
.
.
Morning Mojo, a much anticipated maiden voyage collaboration for The Shady Lady and Blossom Medusa merging their shared love and devotion to Meditation, Yoga, Music, Dance and Tea giving the people what they so desperately need by day three...a cuppa, a spangle informed stretch sesh and a thoughtfully designed soundscape to ease everyone into their day.
.
.
.
We were also so so spoilt on the day to have Cecilia Caleandro join us for the last portion of the set winding everything down to an eventual Sivasana Serenade with ethereal vocals, harp and flute leaving us all in the floatiest of moods. Alas this was not captured and stored as a recording on the day but the memory will stay with all who were there to behold.
.
.
.
The first and last chunk of this set is best enjoyed taking it easy in a cosy, comfortable position with soft or even closed eyes if that’s something that feels good for you then allow the music to be the guide. The pace rises and falls again with many worthwhile messages to be absorbed throughout and a Hare Krishna/Coolio remix you probably didn't know you needed!
.
.
.
The tracks selected were already well and truly adored by at least one or both of us but now have found themselves etched even deeper into our souls and psyches, destined to always be treasured and remembered together as though they belong. Many thanks to the original creators, your music feels like home, please don't stop <3

Soooo here it is, my latest offering, an audible morsel, a tasty little musical treat dug deep from my soul containing all the tunes I have been loving/playing to absolute death this past year or so. Always such a challenge to narrow it down but each of the tracks themselves tend pave the way to the next and in the end the process becomes somewhat out of my hands 🙌
.
.
.
I am thankful for all the original creators who have provided this most recent soundtrack to my life, they have joined me while travelling far and wide to Japan, Canada, the States and the UK, they have serenaded me in the garden and on crafternoons, in the kitchen and my yoga mat and on walks, hikes, rides and long drives alike always enhancing the beauty of the scenes I find myself in.
.
.
.
They have soothed me, moved me and inspired me in ways I find it hard to articulate and so in a way this here little mix is my way of both giving back and paying it forward so others might have a chance to connect with their creations. Honorable mention to Mayyadda for the opening mantra and East Forest and Duncan Trussell for the final thought provoking track So What?

The beauty of sharing this home recording in lieu of the live set is that it gave me the ability to leave a number of tracks intact with their original flow and integrity rather than slicing, dicing or skipping along to squeeze everything into my allocated time slot. 

On that note, ran out of time to play the final track I had hoped but it is so so beautiful and fitting to the event i've chosen to include it in hopes it still reaches the ears of who might need to hear it <3

Teh Botol Hongkong

As promised set recording is now live to serve as an audible time capsule to take me back to Mushroom Valley 2025 anytime the need strikes!
 
As per usual the offering contains tracks i've been listening to, loving and leaning on lately sprinkled in with some timeless treasures that felt right for the moment. Overall am feeling super proud of this little morning program niche i've burrowed myself into where I have the privelidge of providing a gentle, soulful start to everyone's day and get to shake my nerves out of the way niiiice and early.
 
Being my first experience on a main stage and big rig I was timid as hell in the lead up but now on the otherside of course there was nothing to worry about, I was truly in the safest and most supportive of hands up there and had so much lovely feedback afterwards I can now feel my confidence growing and the fog of imposter syndrome lifting. I have resisted the urge to re-record as I want it to serve as an accurate representation of where i'm at and when I listen back I hear both progress and flaws that I guess simply come with the territory of tinkering with new effects while learning to trust my ears and myself more.
