This week's mix went heavy and heady into the bass wobbles and strange drifts into space. Sticks to a chill pulse but anticipate some anxious moments and hardcore throwbacks before easing you back down. Best served hazy.

starts off with some woomph, some space rock, and then about 20 minutes in we slide off into the groove with an imagined sunshiney day on a beach in the late 60s before drifting off into some 70s psych rock, weird abstractions and dreamy lullabies.
