The Recording Angel on NTS - Episode 12 - Erick The Architect x The Avalanches - 09.04.25

Hard to believe I started this series 12 years ago. Time moves so fast, doesn’t it?

At first, it was a project meant to celebrate the indescribable feeling of making it through another lonnnng Montreal winter. Then, it became a form of catharsis for me to grieve the memory of my mom, who passed away a few years ago now. I’ve thought a few times that this project might have run its course, but as I got a lot of very kind feedback from listeners, I think it has come to mean something for them too. Hopefully, it does to you too.

So here we are with another selection of songs to heal, uplift, cry, love and laugh.

Dedicated to all our loved ones. Dedicated to my mom.
Peace with every step.

Mushroom Jazz 24 - Mark Farina

A new monthly series of mixtapes, in which we invite First Word friends & family to lace us with a selection of their soulful favourites, from across the board. For June's edition, we invite the Singapore-based, Darker Than Wax co-founder Dean Chew. On the mix Dean says:

'The mix moves through a tapestry of shades and moods - it is an extension of what I consider as ‘soul music’. As a selector, I have always been interested in the liminal, the in-between spaces, and how different genres of music can intersect with each other. It is at once intuitive and spatial, and that ongoing exploration never ceases to amaze. It has always been about the process, and getting closer to your inner soul - I hope this mix touches you in a personal way. Enjoy!'

I'm proud to present my debut album, The Saint First — a journey through sound, emotion, and self-discovery. This project is more than just music; it's a reflection of the battles I've faced, the growth I've experienced, and the message I want to share with the world.
Each track is a chapter of my story — blending deep lyrics, unique rhythms, and raw emotion. From moments of darkness to sparks of hope, The Saint First captures both the struggles and the strength that shape who I am.
This album is for anyone who's ever felt lost, questioned their path, or searched for meaning. It's for those who believe in rising again, in starting over, and in finding peace within.
Welcome to The Saint First. This is just the beginning.
