This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
Episode 178 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN: INSERT CURRENT YEAR’ - ft. Lael Neale, Joseph Shabason, Rose City Band, Yawn Vibes + a bunch more 2021-flavoured headphone goodness.
“Perfectly unhurried and introspective indie rock to be played with the windows rolled down on long deserted highways.”
Nothing fires up the travel memories / fantasies like putting on some tunes that are in a language you don't fully understand. Close your eyes and all of the sudden you're in France or Spain or whatever language that one is. Works best if you're a philistine like me who can only speak one language.
“If you want to try and have a rational conversation about Submithub, which is no easy task, there are two important things that need to be kept in mind right from the beginning, otherwise the discussion quickly heads down illogical ego-driven roads that are near impossible to turn around from. So let’s start there…”
“This album is gonna be so dope. After 2020 it feels weird to be looking forward to March, but here I am.”
“I’ve never been a big dancer and, in fact, I’m more of a contemplative person if you spend time with me; however, I’ve always carried a love for true practices that spark me to live more freely. So, I paint the air and dance like a wild man sometimes.”
Just a bunch of tasty beats to throw in the headphone blender whenever you need to mix up some late night study/writing vibes.
“This record is just pure emotion for me. From the subtle background sounds to the swells of the tracks. Everything about this album is perfect to me and I will always throw it on and come back to it.”
“Meditation in any of its forms, but for me, specifically: a sitting, “choiceness awareness” meditation. It can actually be fun to sit and be with yourself and watch the thoughts come up and dissipate…to see what happens!”
Episode 173 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN: INSERT CURRENT YEAR’ - ft. R.A.P. Ferreira, Madlib, The Weather Station, Buck Meek + a bunch more 2021-flavoured headphone goodness.
“BUY THIS POETRY! An ode to Bob Kaufman, who coined the term Beat Poet, is intrinsic to Rory's music. This is REQUIRED listening and has already kicked 2021 off with a stellar instant contender for AOTY.”
“Guaranteed to be another stunning collection of ambient washed-out space country instrumental music from the masters of the craft.”
