Mixtape #162

August is upon us and what better way to set the mood than with our monthly mixtape, this time round curated by Swiss trio Meril Wubslin. Based between Lausanne and Brussels, they were founded in 2010 by Christian Garcia-Gaucher and Valérie Niederoest and also comprise David Costenaro on drums. Earlier this year they released their fourth album, Faire Ça, a bold, exhilarating and fascinating record that sees them continue to evolve and explore new sonic elements and territories. The trio added a new dimension to the album recording it with outsider Kwake Bass at his London studio. We are stoked to unveil their mix and open a window into the myriad influences at play in their music. Press play already!

Mixtape #98

London based prolific multi-instrumentalist and producer Capitol K has become something of a legend, releasing influential and iconic albums for over two decades. After working with labels big and small he set up his own, Faith & Industry, and thrives on collaborations, touring the world playing with various bands and recording and producing too many incredible musicians to mention here. And he shows no signs of slowing down. Last month Capitol K released the wonderful and shimmering Goatherder, his new album recorded in a cave on his native Malta. Needless to say we’re very excited to present the mixtape he did for us this month, so wrap your ears around it without delay!
