Sweet Pea

Phonica ventures down to South London for its 123rd mix in our long running series. Leila Beesley also known by everyone as Chinese Daughter has been stretching the sounds of original, new, and future jungle records alongside the sounds of bass-lead old school rave, future hardcore, and breaks. While also working behind the scenes at Warp records, taking to her regular show on Rinse FM and repping the Swamp 81 crew; you can also find Beesley at parties all over the UK and further afield(not forgetting her smashing set at our 20th anniversary at fabric last year). The set she has supplied for us here is no different. Mixed on all vinyl Chinese Daughter here showcases a broad spectrum of 2010's bass gold, kicking drums and party going anthems all built together in a beautifully seamless narrative. We had a quick chat with Leila about the mix and what she has coming up over on WWW.OFFTHERECORD.NET

GROOVE Podcast 454 – Blake Baxter

A rare club mix from the ever-evolving artist, with 90 minutes of shadowy, atmospheric pressure.

Music's therapeutic value is often linked to relaxation—gongs, singing bowls and the like. Dense passages of foggy droning and eerie static aren't traditionally considered restorative, but Laurel Halo makes a pretty good case for it.

The Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based musician's abstract, often improvised productions are heavy on sound design and emotional climax. Driven by atmosphere rather than rhythm, they push listeners to grapple with their innermost insecurities, fears and dreams. "I'm lucky my music has helped people through crises," Halo once told Discwoman. It's easy to see why.

Since her 2010 debut King Felix, Halo has built a stunningly diverse catalogue of classically-informed records. A multi-instrumentalist—piano, violin, guitar, keys—her sharpest instrument is arrangement. Inspired by the surrealism of Italo Calvino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, her releases, from Atlas to Behind The Green Door, unfold with slow-burning narrative and dense emotional weight. Her soundworlds are layered and labyrinthine—an architectonic space where self-reflection happens almost by force.

Even in the club, the sought-after composer excels in immersion. Her sets extend the expressionist palette of her records, trading traditional rhythm for tension, space and surprise. It’s no wonder she takes a genre-agnostic approach to the dance floor—her deep roots in freeform radio began at WCBN-FM in Michigan, followed by Berlin Community Radio, Rinse FM, and now a regular show on NTS.

RA.992 stitches foggy ambient loops, propulsive techno, mutant percussion and heady left turns with care. Tracks from DJ Rush, Octave One and Eddie Fowlkes nod to her Midwestern heritage, balanced out by deeper, psychedelic fare from the likes of Polygonia and Cousin. It's the mark of an artist revealing both deep curiosity and a precise hand as a selector. Rare, indeed.

May 2013 Third Ear podcast kicks off with Demetrio Giannice’s deep and kicking November, before slipping into Kyle Hall’s deliriously off-kilter Must See. One of the highlight releases of 2013 for us is a new Thomas Brinkmann ep; the first of a series of Brinkmann releases on Third Ear. TT and On Edge_K are from the Guy Martin ep. Brinkmann gives us a record bursting with ideas, energy and technical brilliance. Brendon Moeller’s N-Train from the One Man’s Junk ep follows up Brinkmann’s TT, before we switch moods with two classics from Hiroshi Watanabe’s Tread project. Both Last Resolution, from Tread 4, and Diamond Brightness from Tread 3 still sound as fresh and uplifting as they ever did. We come back with Wbeeza’s amazing Wise Root from the latest Third Ear release, Wbeeza’s Mo Bella, which morphs into Benjamin Brunn's wonderful Pankow Memories collaboration with Kai Kroker and Dave Wheels. El Prevost’s Allez Ally featuring D. Ham, an equally up-front statement follows before Brinkman’s crunching On Edge_K wraps up the mix before a coda with Dopeus’ Don’t I Need You from the soon to be released Getaway ep.  In what is shaping up to be a year of great releases, Dopeus’ is certainly one of the best.
