luv463 The Halcyon Daze Of Decontrol

The Halcyon Daze Of Decontrol

this 14th anniversary mixtape sets the controls for the heart of the bass. hearkening back to the halcyon days of Interchill all day after parties full of heady dubs and come down phatties. where there was always a steady flow of mid tempo grooves that kept us going, with an ample cushion of bass that guaranteed a soft landing when needed.

Pillow Fort

when we were small nothing felt better than climbing into a comfy pillow fort made by our own design to fit us perfectly. everything was soft to the touch with no harsh edges, filled with low light and familiar smells. when things got stressful it was the perfect place to escape. this is an auditory pillow fort and you are welcome to hide out here, from the troubles of the day, for a short while.

luv418 The Caged Raver

The Caged Raver

this is a mixtape of new electronic music obtained in the last year, the majority of it presumably made under the shadow of the pandemic. after almost 2 years of varying stages of lockdowns, isolations, curfews, semi-freedoms and false hopes this is what it sounds like inside the mind of the caged raver. 2022 : it’s not about me, it’s about us.
