The first mixtape released on Best Effort is by Naarm (Melbourne) based DJ/ writer, Sophie McAlister. A Sooky La La at heart, this mix is comprised of Sophie’s most sentimental songs which seem to exude the palpable feeling of Saudade, a Portuguese word that can be described as ‘a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.’ The tracks weave through 110 minutes of unrequited love and melancholic sounds that range from MPB, Psych, Folk, Middle Eastern Jazz and Soul, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and longing.

Crafted with heartbreak from reel to reel, these feelings on tap(e) hope to offer tender respite to the listener’s jaunt down memory lane. With a nod to the past and anticipation for what’s to come, this tape invites you to welcome new spirits from the unwelcomed lull of recent despondency. Sometimes revelling in our most forsaken experiences can spark new life into what used to consume us with grief.

Brilliant mix here from Paris based artist Elen Huynh, one we absorbed on headphones this past week walking around sunny Melbourne. Elen guides us through a trip of contemporary modern classical and freeform avant-garde compositions with seasoned golden ears for field recording and natural sound elements. Elen hosts a regular show on LYL Radio and has worked with artists such as Cucina Povera, Broshuda, Malvern Brume and Glasgow's own Mark Vernon. She has also been involved with projects for STROOM and Knekelhuis along with an excellent collaborative release that spawned from her LYL show and was featured on our very first NTS show :) - https://chosescontraires.bandcamp.com/album/va-les-maux-libres

"A reflection on doubt and aporia, this inner contradiction that we are sometimes confronted with. When things are beyond our control and we find ourselves at an impasse. Our desire to suspend time then becomes our only escape." - Elen Huynh Oct 2024
