Louis McCoy is a master craftsman in every sense of the word. A legend of a human behind much loved local underground institutions the likes of Inner Varnika and For Home Use Only, and an expert on the tools be it in the kitchen or on a building site, Louis first and foremost is a passionate music obsessor with a savant like ear for records that cut deep. 

Sometimes found under the cheekier guise of hndsm, Louis seriously knows whats up when it comes to 90s music from the UK, and focusses his attention here on the massively influential sound of trip hop that he grew up nodding his head to as a teen. Treating us to near-on three hours of raw and dusty underground classics from the roots of the 90s Bristol trip hop movement, we find ourselves deep beneath the murky waters of the reggae and the shoegaze infused, to moments of heavy, emotion packed atmospheric soul and a healthy dose of the all out experimental. One for the OG chillout heads, this really is a trip like no other!

Re-wilding is the restoring of an area to its uncultivated state, enabling natural processes to shape the land and sea back to its raw form. 
Lohachara is ebbing up and down, following the tidal motions that can conceal and reveal. Since its immersion, and then finally rising from the waters again, it's worth asking has Lohachara been lost or found, and to who?-⎽__⎽-⎻⎺⎺⎻-

RA Live - 01.06.19 - upsammy, The Crave Festival, Netherlands

We are beyond delighted to present to you a mix that has long been anticipated. Seattle-vanguard, livwutang, delivers a mix that has shaped up to be a true show-stopper. 

It’s a ‘feel good’ mix, but not the kind of ‘feel good’ you get through a warm embrace or a picturesque meal shared with friends and family. This feels more like something cool; something cool as hell that makes you smirk. Imagine your friend is a card shark and you get to witness them wipe the floor with the shmucks they’re playing against. It never gets old. Liv is a force to be reckoned with - the selections are timeless, cutting edge, and visceral. The pacing is masterful. There’s a palpable connective tissue weaved within this mix. As time elapses, the thick strands evolve into durable fibers, morphing further still into unbreakable cables. 

The progression and growth of the set feels all too familiar to a ‘Runner’s High’. The feeling where you can painlessly keep going well beyond your bodies physical limitations after the second or third mile. Except Liv starts you on that high, and you continue running faster. Starting at a sprint and reaching a point where your feet aren’t even touching the ground anymore, you’re flying. And you’re smiling. 

livwutang is an integral and vital member of Seattle’s underground community, and we’re looking forward to what the future has in store for her. Enjoy.

Landing back on terra firma after the 2020 whirlwind, our annual review winds its way back through a whole range of chillout moods and energised atmospherics that flowed through the home stereo over the year, with a big focus on some of great new Aussie electronica that kept us feeling zen throughout some rather interesting times.

Hope you’ve all been enjoying the vibes from us, plenty more of those to come. 

Big love, MDC.

For the third edition of Space Cast we have called on one of Melbournes/Narrms finest curators of all things experimental and ambient. Sam Marsh, aka Billus (@billusmoon)is a talented dj and producer who has been informing and shaping Melbournes music scene for many years through various projects like the legendary @lifeworld. Billus has a beautiful collection of mixtapes for unfurling, emerging, and sitting around, so we thought it was fitting to ask him to contribute to this project. Billus’ taste in music is like no other, his mixes are always inspiring and intriguing, and this is no exception. Lock in!
