Smart selectors Cera Khin & Ossia run their 3rd killer mixtape together following their ‘Blue Baboon Mix’ for JSMË and a shared side on 2017’s ‘Guided Meditation’ tape.
Dedicated to Skully the cat (RIP), the mix was recorded on a lazy summer night in Berlin, 2018, and features a far-flung haul of music ranging from Bristolian styles by Andy Mac, ASDA and Dubkasm thru to Japanese ambient vibes from Haruomi Hosono and Yasuaki Shimizu, and avant audits by Coil, Daphne Oram and Iannis Xenakis, all held together with dub from Tapes, Disrupt and 7Fo.
Though we're currently listening to it at close to zero, Skully Mix is really ideal midsummer music, conjuring a sense of hazy headiness through both the sections and the way they’re mixed: sometimes layered; sometimes dub smudged; and sometimes in jump cut edits - all serving to make a winding, outward-looking yet intimate, and psychedelically romantic narrative..
