The retro Synth influenced "Injectionized" is a slave to the sawtooth. It tends to be the missing link between electronic sound nostalgia and dancefloor activism.

My Landscape - Jpiera (Psicotrònic Scapes Remix)

Rounding out 2023 we have an absolute belter of a mix from Sydney local @maggietrasys.

Cambodian/Vietnamese-Australian Artist Maggie Tra digs deep into the Cambodian side of her heritage to bring us a unique selection of local classics, unknown rarities and original edits. 

Maggie combines classic instrumentation, folk melodies and stylish sound design to create a truly authentic Khmer experience. Her music showcases a rich and complex cultural heritage that is often overlooked by the grand tourist attractions of Angkor and more recent warfare and genocide.

Cambodia (Kampuchea in Khmer) is one the most ancient empires of Southeast Asia and its food, music and culture lives on in strength through the next generation of tenacious forward thinking youth. 

Maggie is helping lead the way with her solo output which references everyday life in the village, with tracks such as ‘Nham Bai’ - which is the most common greeting, and both a question and an offer - “Eat Rice?”.

"Pho The Girls” is another initiative Maggie has helped spearhead, which provides DJ workshops to women and non-binary people looking to break into the music industry throughout Asia and Australia.

Crack a ice-cold coconut from your neighbourhood Bong (“Brother”). Kick back and bask in the fiery sun as it sets over the land of seven headed snakes, palm trees, pink dolphins, floating villages and temples swallowed by the hungry jungle. 

Welcome to Cambodia - "The Kingdom of Wonder! ''

The Search for Inner Peace
The song 'Easy', performed by the band The Commodores, is a classic of soul and funk music that was released in 1977. The song's lyrics reflect a search for tranquility and personal freedom, something that is emphasized by the chorus that compares the ease of being like a Sunday morning, traditionally a time of rest and peace.
The song's protagonist expresses a feeling of weariness and frustration with the expectations the world imposes on him. The decision to leave his partner is presented as a need to free himself from the chains that bind him, suggesting that the relationship may have become more of a source of pressure than support. The repetition of the phrase "I'm easy like Sunday morning" symbolizes the desire to live authentically and without complications, aspiring to a lighter, truer existence.
The song also touches on themes of authenticity and self-expression. The desire to "stand tall, so tall" and "be free to know that the things I do are right" reflects a desire for self-discovery and to live according to one's own values, rather than conforming to others' expectations. "Easy" has become an anthem for those seeking to break free from social constraints and find their own inner peace, remaining relevant over the years as a reminder of the importance of individual freedom and authenticity.
So...
Enjoy this Remix
