Here’s our most recent episode of Theory Therapy for Balamii Radio. For the first hour, it’s a meandering journey of ambient, downtempo and found sounds, meant to capture the many sounds of the city at night. True to form, there are a good few Australian artists featured, including experimental Melbourne-based producer Yunzero, who released a great EP on Lillerne Tapes last year they say was “made from sounds on YouTube videos, tape collections, lost parts of the internet, or really hard to decipher notes I write myself at work and try and translate when I get home.” There’s also music from ju ca, Body Clock and Boonsack Angel, whose track featured on A Colourful Storm’s I stumble and then I fall. One of Sydney’s longest running electronic music labels, Clan Analogue, is in there as well.
The second half of the show features a guest mix by Lauren and Brad from Music Company. If you follow Low End Theorists, then you’re probably already familiar with the Melbourne-based record label. Last year, they released Grace Ferguson’s masterful Voler, the dark, beautifully crafted looking for glass by eves and two superb compilations showcasing dozens of Australia’s best artists. It was a pleasure to welcome Lauren and Brad on to the show; their dreamy mix contains some forthcoming music they plan to release in the next couple of months and dozens of other great songs from the likes of KMRU, Lemon Quartet and Michele Mercure. As usual, we’ve added links to artist’s Bandcamp pages in our tracklist where possible. Thanks as always for listening.
