We are launching a new weekly series that will showcase exclusive mixes from our favorite artists and friends, with Iro Aka going first.

Left Bank 001 - Iro Aka

Munich's Kareem El Morr has carved out a reputation for his refined blend of electro, IDM and trance. Since his debut on local label RFR in 2018, El Morr has made a several other contributions to VAs including his opener on the Munich-focused Ilian Tape four-tracker, Bias Jams.

It's been a couple of years since his last outing but now he returns with his debut EP, Wasteland Breaks, for Molten Moods — a collection of meticulously produced cuts that showcase his approach to detail and melody. Ahead of the release, set for 7th December, we invited him to take control of this week's Shine A Light On mix which floats through crisp, atmospheric electronics, giving you a taste of what Kareem is all about.

☁ Noctilucent Mix 004 by @eirwud-mudwasser ☁

The fourth and last mix for the year!
I was introduced to Eirwud Mudwasser's music when I came across his LP for Snaker - a vinyl only series run by 5ive. To which he was personally invited to contribute to, and it’s still one of my favourite ones in the series!

His productions and mixes always have an organic and kaleidoscopic feel. Which made more sense, when he shared that his influences are rooted in the music he would listen to as a teenager. 

What I admire most about Eirwud Mudwasser's selections, is that he is not a one-genre dj, and each track holds on to the next one, pulling you through the journey he's chosen to take you on. Enjoy this peaceful trip <3 

Thank you so much, Vlad!

Kiara Scuro - December 2020

And here we are, closing out the year with a mix from a relative newcomer whose music has travelled well this year.

A Psychic Yes is a producer with whom some will be familiar and others not - with releases on the likes of Tech Startup, Kalahari Oyster Cult and Schloss his sound is uniquely individual. It draws upon a wide collection of influences and moods, pairing elements of IDM with playful UK bass, techno and beyond.

Each of his releases are woven as a wonderful tapestry of odd glitches, melodic flutters, strange percussion and experimental electronics. 

This mix is a representation of his sound and shows us a glimpse of what's to come in the near future for what is a very promising artist.
