Mixtape #144


There’s be no better way to kick off the year than with a very special selection of tracks handpicked by Sunda Arc, the duo of brothers Nick Smart and Jordan Smart, who are also famed as two thirds of jazz trio Mammal Hands. With two albums and one EP under their belt, Sunda Arc take in influences from techno, electronica, neo-classical, jazz and post-rock. Their shared love of electronic and dance music runs deep, and they seamlessly blend electronic and acoustic instrumentation, blurring the distinction between the two and creating a synergy between both digital and analogue sounds. We're ecstatic to unveil their mixtape, mirroring their vast influences. Press play and enjoy.
