Only The Good Survive: A Mixtape
Here we are again with a new mixtape. We are still kind of trapped in this winter that looks like it never wants to leave, and perhaps this month’s selection has got its inspiration during these days of chilly winds and frequent blizzards. Not that we believe that music is related somehow to seasons but let’s say this could be the perfect soundtrack for this winter’s tail. There are some of our all time favorite artists in here (Kraftwerk, Sonic Boom, Coil) alongside a couple of inclusions that are closer to avant-garde and pure experimentation than to alternative music (Bruce Haack, Daphne Oram). We enjoyed to put this selection together and we hope you’ll enjoy it too. Read the rest of this entry »
The Flames That Kiss Me Dead: A Mixtape
An image. A memory. A song title. The stream of our consciousness. We started exploring the idea of what this cover art could sound and we found ourselves immersed in declarations of the impossibility to escape your true nature, in the uneasiness of throbbing metronomical bass and in the naked beauty of a girl voice. A violence of the mind. A violence on your mind. “The Flames That Kiss Me Dead” is the feeling of positive tension, a passion rising up, the danger of your last day as a caterpillar. It’s our may mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »
Get The Keys And Go: A Mixtape
Leap year, what a funny concept. Seconds turning into hours that we can accumulate and use like a bonus. On second thoughts, though, what is really striking is the idea that it can become a way of turning time itself to your strength, travelling through (e)motions, making every day that extra day of the year. C’mon. Do something. “Get The Keys And Go” is the feeling of the motor running, of that bond you discover again, of that secret smile you decide to share. It’s our march mixtape.

I Have A Dream To Keep: A Mixtape
The strength of a wish, the rush of a kiss, the happy smack of a new start. Fists closed in the coat and the determination of not letting it go. The head spinning ferocity of being ready to claim things your way. “I Have A Dream To Keep” is the feeling of seeing miles ahead, crisp air in the chest, clear plans in the mind. And quietly beaming, knowing that it will happen. It’s our december mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »
Sidewalks and Haze Eyes: A Mixtape
Just stop whatever you’re doing. And raise your head to look around you. In the first lights of the day, or in the lazy streets past shop s’ closing time, standing still becomes an embarassment of riches, the next action simply unforeseeable, the possibilities endless. “Sidewalks and Haze Eyes” is that moment. Snapshots from the city, drunken in its stupor for an impending change, willing to move on yet longing to stay. It’s our october mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »
We Buried Our Hearts In The Sand: A Mixtape
Music lovers are weird people. They are forward thinkers, discovering any up and coming bands or the odd gems no one has yet heard of, but also old school purists, perpetually devoted to compiling mixtapes for their friends, lovers or the stranger sitting next to them on the bus.
