S&B's @mercornn chats w/ @radiantlove resident @caitfa about her intro to DJing, her musical influences, photography and clubbing in Dublin <3
//
With events still on hold we figured in addition to sharing work, the best way to get the ball moving was to start sharing each other’s stories too. We’re looking forward to sharing with you a series of conversations we’ll be having with female identifying creatives working in the fields of music and the arts in the form of a monthly podcast. These discussions will centre on their work and experience with their industry. During these strange and uncertain times it’s the best way we can think of to feel a little more connected to each other.

big love to all the ladies who helped us out with the jingle

Our latest mix comes from local producer and DJ priya. They are quickly becoming a fixture at local parties and with a number of brilliant releases, including one on Love Above's lockdown compilation last year, expect this star to continue rising. Their melt mix features a nice variety of percussive and melodic house, UKG and breakbeat. Enjoy!

Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.

All people have the right to a happy and fulfilling life. At a time when hostile narratives and actions seek to divide us, we believe that empathy, compassion, and connection are essential values to strengthen.

Space Biology - Fumiton

Space Biology returns to Companion with an extended EP further showcasing the Ukrainian producers' boundless creativity and technical prowess. 'Osmosis' delivers a six-track constellation of lysergic electronica, traversing through amorphous domains of dub, downtempo and IDM. Its pulse is punctuated by muted breaks and diffuse high end frequencies that skip and skitter across wobbly dub-infused basslines.

This free flowing release encapsulates a sense of mysticism that urges us to consider our consciousness. It leaves our minds wandering amongst the stars whilst low end fullness grounds us on Earth and reconnects us to our surroundings.
