Mixtape #162

01 August 2024

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 #144

03 January 2023


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.
