  • missaw’s Rotary Mix for Arctic Circle Radio (Exclusive Preview)

    Here’s a little bit of a sneak peek at a brand spanking new label mix compiled by yours truly for the excellent podcast series “The Circle” curated by the London-based Arctic Circle events and label collective. They are doing many, many wonderful things at the moment, in particular their concerts and Explorers’ Club label project (in association with Loaf Records) definitely deserve a look. Check it out!

    Stream via Soundcloud and there’s a bit of blurb along with the tracklist below.

    missaw’s Rotary Mix for Arctic Circle Radio (jointhecircle.net)

    For this mix I wanted to explore the more atmospheric end of our collective’s sonic footprint and have included as much new and forthcoming music as I could. Many of the tracks in the mix will likely never be released formally so it’s been a true pleasure to compile and blend them together for The Circle.
