Syz Mix
Journeying from Brighton to Bristol and now residing in London, Syz (Oli Samways) has an impressive back catalogue of sounds and is here to take over Tapes #59. With releases on Method Lab and Pressure Dome, a sell-out EP on Control Freak Recordings, a single track release on Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy’s esteemed Peach Discs, and more. It’s no surprise that he’s an artist that has rightfully earned respect and support of many revered artists including Mary Anne Hobbs, Pearson Sound, Danielle, Zenker Brothers & Peverelist to name a few.
Talik Mix
Tapes #46 comes from Talik, a London-based producer and DJ quickly gaining prominence for her intricate, impassioned productions and equally expressive mixes. Treading the febrile ground between IDM, broken techno, and post-dubstep, her Tapes mix reflects a carefully considered approach to narrative construction and an astute ear for conjuring space through rhythm.
