As Bright Patterns completes its fourth trip around the sun, we welcome Imaginary Softwoods as the special guest for November. It’s been a dream of mine to have John Elliott on the show. He’s been a part of so many incredible projects: Mist, Outer Space, Organic Dial, Emeralds—not to mention all of the eternally awesome records that were released via his expert curation on Spectrum Spools. It’s a treasure trove. All that said, the vast output of John’s solo project, Imaginary Softwoods, sits firmly atop this immense pile of sonic wonder. So many of these cuts have been played on Bright Patterns over the last four years. It is a vibe I carry with me, one that’s deeply embedded in my relationship to music. The last time I heard a mix from John was 2017 and I still talk about how good it is. With all of the gratitude to everyone who listens, I hope you’ll enjoy this mix of what he’s been listening to lately. Designed as a bit of a balm for a world in pain, it covers contemporary selections with a few new age classics, reflecting the daily eclecticism of his auditory diet. It also ushers in a new era for Bright Patterns, where it will run from 9am to 10am ET with the same Thursday cadence as it has been, each month, since the beginning.

The Phase Group Mix continues with an entry by close friend of the label and our guest at the TC LK launch this weekend at Spanners, Scottish selector DJ Peanut. 

London-based DJ Peanut is known for her mastery of dark and psychedelic downtempo sounds as well as bass-heavy, dub-wise club fair. She can regularly be found playing in some of the capital's finest musical establishments including Ormside Projects, Spanners, Kindred and The Gun as well as regular trips back north to play in venues like La Cheetah, Berkeley Suite and Exit in Glasgow and residencies on Clyde Built Radio and Noods. Katie has been invited to join multiple Phase Group line ups in the past, either solo or playing back to back with her regular spar partner Lo Kindre, which shows the appreciation we have for her skills behind the decks.  

Her Phase Group Mix delivers exactly the kind of heads-down listening journey through dubbed out, bass-and-noise-driven downtempo club sounds that we love. A great warm up listen ahead of her set at Spanners this Friday. 

Peanut joins Brussels-based selector Rick Shiver and TC LK this Friday at Spanners to celebrate the release of PHASE008, the new album by TC LK on Phase Group.
