new mix show! vervine004

It’s been a while again since our last one – here’s the latest Vervine show which as usual, is hosted by our label owner Harry Towell.

This fourth show in the series includes recent Whitelabrecs pieces from the likes of The Dead Bell, Yuya Ota, Tum Tum, Bledi Boraku and Mardit B. Lleshi, Philipp Bückle and Martijn Pieck, Matteo Cantaluppi, Glåsbird and a track from Andy Cartwright’s forthcoming album ‘Beyond the Noise’. It also features plenty of other ambient music, some folk, indie, downtempo, disco and electronica.

The cover artwork for this one was taken on a visit to Burghley House in Stamford, through a small round portal with a green colour filter. The sun-worn colours are apt as we move into summer!

Here’s a mini player/link to the show which you can check out on Mixcloud:

new mix show! vervine003

It seems like ages since we last made a Vervine mix show and this is largely down to having moved house. These shows are great fun to make, but we’ve seen why it would have been difficult to commit to a monthly show. So after a bit of a new year pause, here’s the next Vervine show, as usual, hosted by our label owner Harry Towell.

This third show features recent Whitelabrecs pieces from the likes of Guy Gelem, Peter Kvidera, Wodwo, Glåsbird, thisfloatingworld and a piece from Hoshiko Yamane’s forthcoming album. It also features jazz, shoegaze, folk, indie, chillout and ambient music and then this show is rounded off with a Deep House mix.

The cover artwork for this new show was created from a photo of a painting from Harry’s daughter Emily, who was learning one day last year about paint, colour and art, with the help of her Mummy. Harry was struck by its abstract shapes, colours and texture and knew he’d use it in a musical project sometime.

Already we’re planning the next show and we hope it won’t be too long a wait next time. But for now, here’s Vervine003:
