London-based pair Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney aka Time is Away are continually exploring the relationship between time, place and power. They do so in a wide variety of ways from exhibitions for the Arts Council England to site-specific sound works, research projects to their nearly 10-year-strong NTS show. Each one weaves spoken word pieces with atmospheric music into soundscapes that physically and mentally move you. 

The pair's exceptional record collection and ability to manipulate your mood are laid bare once more in this week's mix. It's an escapist daydream where gently lilting rhythms melt away into psychedelic dub with intimate vocal whispers. Indian meditations captivate the heart and mind while lo-fi guitar fuzz lulls you into a hypnagogic state. It's a delicate but powerful world of sound that reveals more and has an ever-deeper impact each time you listen.

Mega psychedelic episode coming in for number 70 from old friend and Music From Memory boss Tako Reyenga @tako-reyenga @music-from-memory. Once described as the 'wise yoda' of the Amsterdam scene and a massive inspiration to many with his golden ears and endless curiosity. Whether via his work opening cultural institution and our favourite Dutch pub Red Light Records, releasing music with Jonny Nash as Sombrero Galaxy or compiling lost 80s and 90s gems for MFM and Into The Light, anything Tako touches comes with a big stamp of approval. Enjoy this mix of French kosmiche from Vague Imaginaires, wide-eyed, extra-terrestrial US wave from Cerebral Hemorrhage, Dutch ambient from Michel Banabila and loads more we couldn't recognise.
