For today’s show we are joined by our new friend, Sophia Zhuravkova. Sophia recently released her debut album ‘Unseen’ with Prins Emmanuel’s new Malmö-based label Ny Agenda. ‘Unseen’ is an immersive listening experience and a delight for fans of field recordings and warm tones. Sophia also featured on Best Effort’s most recent Stay in Bed compilation, where she contributed ‘Tears Falling While Spring Comes’ – a most suitable remedy for the end of a challenging day.
Her words: “My mix is dedicated to magical forests and island seas that I have met recently. They initiated feelings of healing closeness with nature and the deep contact we can have in the warm arms of it.”
In the first part of the show, DJ Earl Grey takes you through a box of music he recently received from the Séance Centre in Canada – a label, publisher and distributor “conjuring timeless music from past, present and future.” Séance Centre was founded in 2017 by Brandon Hocura, previously one half of Invisible City Editions. Since its inception, the label has worked on releases with Beverly Glenn Copeland, Museum of No Art, MJ Lallo, Vito Ricci and has recently begun uncovering underexposed and eccentric dance music through its sublabel Mixed Signals.
The Séance Centre record shop features records from the labels’ own rapidly growing catalogue, fairly-priced unique deadstock finds and a small selection from likeminded labels from across the globe. It’s one of those rare stores where the selections seem like a personal insight into the tastes of the curators.
