Mixed Feelings | mixtape

Oh, December! 🎄Time for fireside chillin' with friends and fam, with a glass of tasty natural wine in hand (easy listening music playing in the background). That’s what we call relaxing.

To warm up the cold December we’ve invited a wine enthusiast and a great selector – @ericfilipus – to mix it up for us. Eric enjoys his life mainly in Barcelona nowadays, so it’s more than special to have his warm touch to the What Are You Listening? -mix series. This December's heating up already. 💚

”I choose records that I would wanna sip wine to in a hazy bar setting, nothing too uplifting, simply just good listening music, the stuff you can listen to for hours, sophisticated, yet warm and playful.” That’s how Eric describes the mix clearly sipping a special wine at the same time.

🍷 And our wine for the holiday season is Nehrer's Leithaberg DAC Blaufränkisch! 🍷

With cherry and spice and everything nice, this Blaufänkisch pairs well with the season's foods or you can share it by itself with friends.

Grown on the unique lime and slate soil of Leithaberg, Nehrer's Leithaberg Blaufränkisch exudes the vineyard's minerality. Hand picked and sustainably produced, the wine ferments spontaneously in steel containers. Maturation happens in 500 and 2000 liter wooden barrels for 9 months on lees. 

Nehrer family’s vineyard is located in Burgenland on the hills of Leitha Mountain. The area’s terroir consists of a warm climate cooled by cold winds and a soil consisting of clay and lime. These factors create structurally elegant wines which exude the terroir in their flavor.

Unfined, no added sulphites, vegan. Available at Alko Arkadia and the Webshop.

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do!

The What Are You Listening? -mixtape series is all about music-wine pairing. Musically curated by DJ Aleksi @djaleksialeksi.

ERIC FILIPUS / PERROS IN-STORE SESSION #001

Active for nearly three decades, Japanese DJ and producer Takaaki Itoh has been carving out a niche truly his own in the realm of deep techno. Pumping out multi-sensory DJ tools for breakfast, Itoh champions a sound highly dynamic yet infused with the kind of minute textural work and layers of modular complexity one can not but marvel at. Punching in with a wild two hours of electro-magnetic hardware funk and entrancingly immersive brainwaves, the Sendai-based wizard elevates us to a whole new world where hi-tech submersion and atmospheric club music reign supreme. A work of art.

Reclaim Your City 581 | Takaaki Itoh

Throughout the years in the industry and contributions through nightclubs, community radios, record shops, and listening bars, Eric is known for his diverse taste both as a DJ and musical curator. After spending a decade within the music scene in Helsinki, Finland, Eric decided a couple years ago to change the scenery to Mediterranean coast in Barcelona. 

For this 3rd episode of lazed mix series, Eric Filipus takes us somewhere between mountains, seas and forests. An hour voyage deeply rooted on the tribal spectrum and a glimpse of the folklore of an imaginary civilization that we can draw in our mind while listening...

Eric: "The mix is a sum of a months long music journal, centered around spiritual listenings. For a change, I chose not to actively search for tracks. Instead, while listening to music over the past few months, I set aside every piece that resonated within the spiritual context, in sort of a journal way…

Bringing all these pieces of music almost blindly to the studio and intuitively selecting each record while recording felt natural and more importantly honest. It was like gathering moments from the recent past and arranging them in a completely new order. I find value in this approach, where extensive research and preparation lead to a spontaneous compilation at the last moment. 

Every track is played in its entirety, so it’s more of a curational thing, rather than a mixtape. I hope you have peaceful times and can feel at least some of these moments while listening to the recording.

Much love, E"

From London’s inner suburbs comes this next guest, a through and through veteran of UK techno whose touch has left a lasting mark on the world around him. Steve Bicknell’s early days were spent in the intoxicating worlds of dub, reggae, acid, DIY warehouse parties and pirate radio, an auspicious mix of references that would inspire him to make music of his own. After a string of residencies at the UK’s then most influential parties, he launched his own series with creative collaborator Sheree Rashit: LOST. These legendary gatherings brought together names like Plaid, Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Robert Leiner, Basic Channel, and a wider array of future techno hegemons. This was swiftly succeeded with the duo’s launch of imprint Cosmic Records, whose triumph went on to spawn another three successors: LOST (early provider of Bicknell’s dancefloor sounds), Clubtracks (for Chicago-leaning fare) and ID(entity) (a channel for the work of well established music-makers who wanted to release under a secret alias). A nine-year pause in productions came to a halt in the mid 2010s with Steve’s most recent label, 6dimensions, an exploration in sound and the whole spectrum of human emotion. Finally, 2017 saw Steve team up with Luke Slater and David Sumner under the LSD sobriquet, a force for the creation of ‘lysergic machine music’, heavily danceable stuff (just ask ADE, Dekmantel, Awakenings). With a story as full and enduring as Steve’s there’s much to pull from, and only experience in the flesh could attest to the depth and scope of his musical evolution, but it’s clear that the voice he has honed has only become louder and more refined. It’s a techno that’s fully embodied, a blistering percussive barrage that invokes something profoundly human and fundamental. Bassiani Podcast 217 is just a taste of what Steve has to offer, a window onto a world of sound he’s meticulously crafted for over three decades: masterfully layered and piercing sounds that shimmer and relentlessly rise in lockstep with a formidable 4/4 beat.

Bassiani invites Steve Bicknell / Podcast #217

"I was planning to go a bit more atmospheric and techno, but the summer heat took me in a housier direction. I included some personal classics that rarely leave the bag and a bunch of new releases from friends and other producers whose work I admire. After having a little break from DJing, I gained a lot of perspective and felt a need to reconnect with my roots in house music—the dubby, percussive, tribal kind. But let the selection speak for itself; at least it's very true to me."

For the seventh volume of lazed, a mix series thought as a playground for listening music, we're happy to share violet U.'s debut mix. The Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ crafted a 2-hour collage of sounds that weave between electro-acoustic ambience, brooding drones, sparse breaks and left-field dub - a perfect way to showcase his varying sound under this new moniker. 

The songs contained within were collected over the past 2 years, like journal entries from the seasons passed. Inspired by the question of what it means to listen, the mix was recorded months ago as Country moved into what Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples describe as Waring season. Intrinsic to this mix, the transient songs, stories and cries of the changing landscape find solace within.

"Calls of birdsong pull tides from the moon while morning dew dances to the rhythm of life. I see wind just as I hear the cold and my hands touch the earth while my heart feels its words. Each step louder than the last, I learn to listen to silence.

What does it mean to listen..? to sound? to others? to the environment? to oneself?"

Thrilled to have Sophie aka Sabor a Mi for this new lazed mix. Growing up between France and Mexico, the selector has found passion and inspiration in collecting music from her latin roots as well as African music. She has this special and genuine way of sharing music - the type that brings people closer together and goes beyond any era, genre or cultural boundary. 

Sabor a Mi: 
"I recorded this mix in total improvisation without applying any technical rule to it, which allowed me to fully focus on the selection and how it makes me feel. Without any boundary. These 2 hours are filled with rhythms and melodies that represent my mixed cultural background, my identity and all these connections without limiting myself to any era or genre. This mix is a part of my secret garden, and aims at letting you feel what has to be felt. Softness arises from this flavourful selection."

For this 9th episode we're glad to welcome the Brussels-based artist Holy Coco. Resident DJ on Radio Vacarme & Lyl Radio, and regular on Kiosk Radio, Holy Coco explores electronic music (and more) putting FLINTA artists in the spotlight. Besides her love for bass music and experimental sounds, Holy Coco has been focusing on a research and creation project of ambient/experimental electronic playing with sound textures, glitch & voices, autotune & spoken word, urban & organic sound.

Holy Coco: "Please join this mischievous autumnal soundscape made of brightness, warmth but also emotional brainstorm, agitation & spooky lullabies. Autumn is a time for changing mood between light & darkness, lovely summer to introspection. Life is constantly made of transition, movement, cycle and … renewal. This set is a mixology of all of this : mesmerising & ambient soundscape, hypnotic voices, post-punk mood, neo-jazz, spooky & organic bass, field recording and punchy word. Exploring sound & texture, from sensitivity to unrest. Presenting Brussels-based producers, new discoveries, unreleased & my fav of the moment."

lazed09 - Holy Coco - "Mischievious lullaby"

It is through his album "lazybones" released in 2023 that we got to know Officium. In the past couple years the multi-instrumentalist and DJ Alban Mercier's music has been spreading through France, Europe, all the way to Indonesia and Singapore, where he toured last summer. In this tenth episode of lazed, the artist shares a selection of electronic and non electronic favorites.

Officium: "An autumn-themed podcast in which a clouded mind may have forgotten parts, surrendering to the laziness induced by this change of season. A melancholic and misty romantic journey where joy and pleasure can appear amidst the fog that prevents the mind from thinking or recalling those scenes cut during editing, dissolved through the soul and selective memory. Created on a train somewhere between Brussels, Strasbourg, and Marseille, showcasing the damp, fog-filled autumn landscapes passing by."

lazed10 - Officium - "All deleted scenes"

First time we heard of Antoine 80's alias Tonito Yama was through his first album, Synthetic Nature, released on Belgian label Nose Job, on which the Brussels-based producer traverses energies, feelings and genres like no other. But Tonito Yama only is one facet of the artist - aside from his main alias Antoine 80, he also co-runs the label TodoRecto and hosts a show on Kiosk Radio. 

Tonito Yama: "This mix of an hour and eight minutes is a search for a rooted future, a link between Dark Jazz and Gleaming Dud. These tracks are a non-exhaustive material to create this encounter. Seat back and relax, close your eyes and dream on!"
