@wavestrike: That is EXACTY what we aimed for (not really but I like it all the same - Paris via Sheffield)

Cool track guys, has a great 80's feel to it, my era for sure, I'll be back for more...

@mindcrashboy: Thanks - smooth isn't it!?

Next up in our Record Club Guest Mix series are Sanctuary, the moniker of Ben and Liam, a DJ duo from Australia who have been living in Berlin for the past 9 years. You may be familiar with their 'Life Classics' project. It started as an output for their own edits then later branched out into a mix series and club residency at OHM in Berlin.

Their mix landed in our inbox and from the get-go we knew it was destined for the Record Club series. Covering many spectrums of soul, it masterfully glides through tempos and unleashes a quiet storm inside you. Not ones to fear a vocal, it's stuffed full of soaring voices, sweet strings and the tightest grooves. An extended blend done right!

The guys pulled from of a couple of record bags and served it up on 1210’s at their Berlin base. As they described it "back to back burgers, boozas and records all the way". 

The mix is loaded with many of their favourites and a few dusty ones from the back of their shelves. Look out for cuts from Reggie S, Stage Coach, Edwynn Page and Herby Charles. It's packed with winners, some you knew, some you do now. A real steppers' delight.

Thanks so much to Ben & Liam for the mix.

Long Lost Summers of the Past

The Loving Palms - White Hotel

Cover of Death Cab's Passenger Seat by Hollywood Juniper.  All instruments and vocals by Mick Ricereto.  Originally performed live in 2016; re-recorded and remixed for 2017.

Passenger Seat

Original instrumental composition in tribute to Duesseldorf electronic musician/composer Wolfgang Riechmann, who was senselessly murdered outside a bar in his home town on August 24, 1978.

This piano-driven piece incorporates my thing for glitchy ambient sounds, but I would be OK with classifying the piece as New Age too.  Composed, arranged and produced by Hollywood Juniper, aka Mick Ricereto, in his Philadelphia studio, early 2018.

Heart-Shaped

Whens

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,
