It was an honour to be asked to put together this one-hour mix for the Home Normal label’s 15th anniversary. Home Normal’s output over its past fifteen years has been immense to say the least, with many, many incredible albums and artists involved. It became clear early on that approaching this as more of a “collage” than a straight DJ-Mix was the way to go for what I wanted to achieve. Thirty tracks were used overall. Edited, broken apart and re-pitched, with some improvised synth parts and further production added.

Mixes from a selection of their artists are available through their Bandcamp on a pay-what-you-like basis, with each mix put together exclusively from the label’s own catalog over the past fifteen years.
