@michaelred sends us on a seamless float through time and space. hardly in need of an introduction, Michael has been an enormous contributor to the music scene for quite some time. label head à la low indigo, he is known for both his heavier selects +productions, as well as his penchant for mixing and making flowing slow tempo cuts. this mix is steeped in the latter. ethereal, yet engaging through til the end, it is feeling oh so right to put this out through The Tea.

Guest Mix 021: Michael Red

Morning meditation~~
Saturday sunrise 5:30-7am at the Grove stage
Shambhala Music Festival 2022

Such a special honour to play this cherished and delicate time slot after the dons @kahn and @sicariasound. This was the first time I hadn't made a concrete plan for a proper gig, just felt into the energy of that morning and this is what it summoned. 
Sub focused and melodic...a dash of melancholy and nostalgia. 

So much love out to everyone who stayed up for the late shift, or woke up for the early one. Was a joy to see you out there resonating with some cuts that I really love.

Bookings: caro.sound @ yahoo.com

Building on several contributions to Bristol's forward thinking label Limbo Tapes and appearances at festivals across North America including Mutek, Bass Coast and Active Passive, Birthname (fka Caro) continues to distill their loop-oriented style of storytelling. 

Birthname makes and processes sounds using hardware, computers, batteries and numerous small fuses and wires. A computer is made up of over 30 different minerals which are mined and extracted from the earth. 

They explore various means of communication by layering field recordings, instrumentation, voice and synthesized waveform. There are 7 main types of communication and an estimated 7,000 to 7,100 distinct languages spoken worldwide. 

Birthname's music is both a mirror and a bridge. Merging intimate, inner-life with the current historical, topological and geopolitical landscapes. Like any spiritual practice, it is an exercise in attention. 

On the air regularly since 2018, Caro has hosted and welcomed many guests through radio shows on CJLY (Nelson, BC), B.Side Radio (Vancouver, BC) and online through Noods Radio (Bristol, UK). Their new monthly as Birthname, called Fire Shelter, airs monthly on n.10as out of Montreal. 

Spiral Dance, their most recent LP, was released in 2025 via Limbo Tapes.
