Bus N Beats

Sannas one of those people you pass the Aux and always plays something banging! She’s a firm believer in ‘On every bus journey you should have the right to completely zone out and get lost in a daydream until u miss ur stop! 

Her mix holds true to this and despite being stuck at home she takes us on a journey that your kind of sad to end 😢 A true chef who brings this episode of ‘Bus N Beats’ a healthy helping of the most wholesome of delights. It’s an ode to being at home but also missing the dance floor. Hope you enjoy and always Trust in Trust 🪂

Bus N Beats 007 w/ Cowper Aka the dude from the front left.

We met Cowper down in the centre of the universe @mickeyzoggs and ever since have spent many a night treading the sacred ground which is the front left. His contribution to this series was recorded live and direct from the holy of holy’s @mickeyzoggs. So strap yourself in for a booty shaking bonanza from the animal himself.

When asked the time old question “what should all bus travellers be entitled to?” the the answer was simple ‘lumbar support’. 

That’s right,we’re keeping it ergonomic lock in for a tops off special

Bus N Beats 007 w/ Cowper

Cowper steps in for Lupini this week - keeping things a little bit sweet, a little bit sad, a little bit silly.

Cowper 060324

In his contribution to the series, Cowper artfully presents the idea of the weathering of the storm, exploring the solace that can be found in the impermanence of life. His thoughtful, powerful selections remind us that everything eventually passes, good and bad alike. From the opening moment - a beautifully sinister track by Coil - the tone is set for the rest of the mix as it unfolds into a dance through ambient, spoken word, and leftfield sounds.

I first met Ben Cowper in Berlin at the Hypersoft party and it was no-brainer to ask him for a mix after hearing his superb b2b set DJ Teeth

INTERVIEW: https://deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/144_cowper_for_deeprhythms/

Ben, who goes by Cowper, is a DJ, record collector, and the mind behind Between Stations, a radio show that’s grown into a party and now a label. In this chat, we talk about his journey into music, the label’s vision, and the records that shaped him.

"I’m quite comfortable with playing slower, chuggy records. So I wanted to test myself by recording a faster vinyl only dance set. This is the result!"

sounds from the slump vol. 2 - cowper

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄʜᴏꜱᴇɴ ɴᴀᴍᴇ? 

Virelith 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘʀᴏɴᴏᴜɴꜱ?

 He/him 

ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴠᴇ?

In the folds of the underworld, where memory goes to be softened. 

ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʀᴇᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ ʏᴏᴜ?

Shadow and balance. 
The beauty of the unsettling. 
Dream logic. 
Lost potential. 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴀᴠᴏᴜʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ? 

Late autumn, when things are *almost* dead but not quite. The world holds its breath. The veil is thinnest then. 

ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ, ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪᴛ ʙᴇ? 

I would unteach the fear of discomfort. Let mortals *feel* without flinching. Let them find peace in contradiction. 

What is a key belief that you have? 

That nothing is ever wholly good or evil. Only honest, or unseen. That true growth begins in the dark, in the unknown. 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ᴀ ᴋᴇʏ ʙᴇʟɪᴇꜰ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ? ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙɪɢɢᴇꜱᴛ ꜰᴇᴀʀ?

To be fully known. If I am understood, I can be contained—and I exist only as long as I remain beyond comprehension.

04 - VIRELITH - Cowper

First up is our good friend ‘Space Man’ a firm believer in  ‘Everyone who gets on the Bus must drink a glass of water before. No ifs no buts and no bloody coconut water’ 

Here's a little bit more about him: 

The Space man a mysterious entity. A being of some sort, which in all honesty is hard to describe. Our first real encounter with ‘The Spaceman’ was in a sad boi/tech head/bedroom dj house hold. A place where sweaty boys talk tracks, have cheeky 3 way b2bs. I Mean like it was a 4 man house but the other flat mate didn’t mix so was he even a flat mate. U know dem ones who  asking u to ‘turn it down’ at 5am before they have an exam.  As soon as u leave call em a Nark Yh, dem ones. Anyway….. 

A place where you believe your mate when he says ’Bruv I did this maaad mix last night in my room wish I recorded it’ . A place where real work gets done (Fuck a degree just be a ‘bad boy mc’ u get me….) It’s only in realms such as this ‘Space Man’ could hone in on his craft. Meditating on what it is to really be a ‘Space Man’. But more importantly how he can encourage people to drink more water.  

Anyway please give it listen, like share and subsicribe x

Bus N Beats 001 w/Space Man

Joe Samrai is always on the move. His introspective view on bus travel leaves our little souls with much to reflect on. 

We first spotted Joe in Bristol’s true underground scene ‘The University of Bristol Symphony Orchestra Rehearsal Space’. The Samrai uses his ‘Katana (Cello)’ with such skill, cutting through the haters, bossing out some Mahler. We met at Half time shot the shit, found out we had much in common. Then we found out he could mix. Then we found out he could produce. Then we found out he could speak 3 languages. We started to gas this 4 string warrior?. 

But then he fucked off to Colombia.

But your boy’s Back. After cooking up some tunes under his Alias ‘Igrimas’, mixed with some wavy imports. Joe’s got us feeling dreamy.

Along our journey's of scouring the internet this lockdown. We found a Cowboy, who took us on a cattle drive soul searching in the great plains we found ourselves gassed on country music. So we decided to share it with you, a narration and some music that may just show you how to get through this pandemic, without having a crisis.
