A message from the artist: “It’s been a real honour to put this mix together, a cathartic and healing process that culminated in me playing music on the property I grew up on and love dearly.
Finding motivation and inspiration for music in 2020 has not been easy, especially being based in Melbourne. When I was asked to put together this mix I found it hard to piece together what I wanted to get out of this it.
Having been in lockdown for months I could not stomach the idea of recording this in my house, I needed something to play for.
That is when I first pictured recording this set at my parents property, the place I grew up, a place where every tree I helped plant, where every fence post I helped dig in… a place that I love more every time I go back.
This mix is a love letter to that place, filled with gratitude to the land, my parents, and the man I’ve become from growing up there.”
