For American artist @nick-klein, music is a gateway deep into our collective and individual psyches. He explores loudness as a form and "the sociology and ideology that presents in self-identifying music subcultures." He does this with his own @psychicliberation label, we all as with music on the likes of L.I.E.s and Viewlaxx. Next up for this prolific producer is a forthcoming double album - roughly his 15th overall - on IDEAL that will continue to explore the fringes of electronic sound with a bank of trusted modulated synths. 

Of this week's mix, Nick says, "Happy Valentine's Day! The hour of material here is a collage of releases that have come out in the previous three years on my label Psychic Liberation, or the collaborative installment of releases between Enmossed and Psychic Liberation known as ENXPL. Here you have layers of material that map the cloud of my music listening consciousness. The interior includes artists who have participated on PL since the 2013 inception. Artists like Berlin's Wilted Woman, ENXPL artists Bridget Ferrill or Rene Nunez's Horoscope project, the PL Seoul based crew of Yeong Die, Jiyoung Wi, and Joyul, prolific Iranian brother band powerhouse of Saint Abdullah, and founder of the Enmossed label Glyn Maier are found braided through each other sonically.

"While a lot of the work here isn't directly oriented towards the club setting, it could be congruous as an epilogue to an evening's more psychedelic potential. It is interesting to see how broadly sonic aesthetics in electronic music have shifted in the absence of major clubs operating at capacity, if at all. I am pleased to share pieces of what has been in my head as an obsessive listening journey and the process of documentation throughout that time. Thanks to Dekmantel.”

Philadelphia-based filmmaker, deejay, and host of The Beauty Parlor nail salon (@nailsalon) threads sounds from his everyday across songs that offer a moment of respite against the banal corporate grind. A format well loved by Moods where artists take a time or moment as a point of departure (see: Anne Lacy, Icarus Redux, Jasen Loveland), nail salon fills critical caps across our sonic catalogue from rap to ambient to left field. To read the full interview, head here: https://moods.substack.com/p/moods-63-nail-salon

We’ve paired nail salon's mix with an org chart work by Simon Denny, the legendary artist whose practice takes the material (or debris) of corporations to point out hypocrisies, redundancies, and the failure of business to meet the demands of today’s world. It’s a clean, neat match for a mix that considers just the same.

For more on Simon, we recommend this interview with Duncan Ballantyne-Way: https://fineartmultiple.com/blog/simon-denny-artist-interview/

Very much a behind the scenes figure, Basic Chanel has recently crawled out from the emails to shimmy behind the decks. Hosting a regular radio show on Refuge Worldwide and running the long-standing music blog Untitled 909, Basic Chanel uses her platforms to share the music she loves and the stories behind the artist’s that makes them.

For this 4th episode of lazed mix series, Basic Chanel introduces us to a very specific selection of « beautiful dreamy ambient-leaning guitar music » she’s been collecting for a while. 

Basic Chanel : « When building this mix, I wanted there to be a hint of romance within the selection, something to pull on your heart (guitar) strings. Pure poetry. Music to make you feel.A soundtrack to the most radiant sunset in the middle of the Nevada desert. A couple of cowboys riding through the heat, making their way back home to their loved ones. Sitting around telling old campfire stories, of past romances, of people you are dreaming about, of those you long for. A mindful porch moment. Drifting away on the ranch. A smokey sense of melancholy and yearning in the air. Always so close but yet so far. This one is for all the cowboy daydreamers. »
