Dialog is a creative exchange between established producers and live artists Samuel van Dijk @mohlao and Rasmus Hedlund @rasmus-hedlund focused on crafting perfect sound. Rastafarian language and culture run deep throughout their explorations as they work with Jamaican vocalist Benji aka Daveron Dawkins who brings his own live and direct reflections on life to the music.

One take full of edgy sounds for my dear friend Jones.
Rough, unpolished and broken imperfections.

(Some transitions in the mix are a bit messy, working on it!)

"Piano Mix" by, in mine and many local's opinions, one of Australia's best djs, @moopie...

Moopie has been around in the scene as long as I've been clubbing (even longer). I have very vivid memories of watching him dj at the young age of 18/19 in support of DJ Nobu at the iconic Mercat (rip).. and again at Inner Varnika in 2018 (one of the most memorable dance floor experiences I can remember to date)..  a selector who can do it all.. from electro, to non-club, to experimental and d&b, to minimal, to techno, to tech house... 

Here, the multifaceted, technically wizard-like DJ, NTS show host, and curator of the incredible @acolourfulstorm label, showcases his non-electronic, ambient leanings with a stunning mix filled with rare "piano" studded oddities... no one does it better 

Thank you Moopie  <3

So proud to share my EP 'Upside Down', released on the legendary Japanese label mulemusiq with you. 🐝

Before we head into faster territories with my releases, I decided to produce something playful, slow and enriched with my acoustic instruments such as my main one, the violin and also one which I've auto didactically taught myself - the flute. I used the traditional Chinese Xiao flute as well as the classic flute. 
It felt so satisfying to weave these beautiful sounds into the arrangements, to let the acoustic world blend into the electronic realm - it works so well 😍

It's been fun to explore the housy territory for mulemusiq in this release. I've always wanted to do that and it ended up to be my very own version of house, as it's located somewhere in between different genres but still offers some characteristics of house in the tracks besides 'Beyond Light and Shade', which is more breakbeaty and might go more into the direction of general Electronica I guess.

The whole cosmos of the EP is a surreal one, inspired by things like Adventure Time, Ghibli and Nintendo games like Zelda BOTW or Animal Crossing. 
I love weird things, which seem to be random at first but still harmonic in a way. The vocal of Upside Down was a freestyle which I recorded in one go - I love writing lyrics and telling stories which make no sense but create a new surreal world, loaded with cuteness, pictures full of fantasy and of course my beloved nature inspired motifs such as leafs growing out of my ears ;)

Tracklist:
1 Upside Down
2 Eyes Between Letters
3 Beyond Light And Shade
4 Complementary Senses
5 Upside Down (Instrumental)

Digital Release date - December 13th, 2024

The vinyl record will be released on January 17th, 2025 - I'll add a link here when it's out 🦋

[...]Oh! La bonne tendresse en cette fin du jour! 
Mes yeux suivent les ans dont l'existence est faite
Et tout à coup ta vie y paraît si parfaite
Qu'un émouvant respect attendrit mon amour.[...]

I think this one's from 2005... 
A lot of people asked to put this one back online, so here it is ;)
Enjoy!
