Great dudes collaborating with great dudes, with a ton of great dudes involved. That’s the only way I can describe the debut cassette release for UK clothing company, Forty Ounce Clothing. They do an amazing job of not just making some killer peicies to put on your body, but of teaming up with artists and bloggers to help integrate music into their identity. If you remember, I put together a mix for them when they released my sister Steffaloo’s shirt.
This time around, they are teaming up with one of our all-time favorite labels, Crash Symbols. The product is a unique and amazing cassette release in conjunction with a brand new, specially designed Crash Symbols t-shirt. Exclusive tracks from the likes of Born Gold (an obscure remix by Teen Daze), Coma Cinema, Blackbird Blackbird, Monster Rally, Moon Bounce and a whole lot more.
Go pick up the shirt here, and get with it a free cassette of this painfully good mix below:
Moon Bounce have been a favorite for quite some time. And now Corey Regensburg is working on a new LP that’s yet to be named, but is due sometime this Spring, if the fates allow. Telephone is our first listen, and it comes fully equipped with this homemade video, he admittedly had no real plan for…they just kind of did it. And yet I can’t imagine a more fitting moving image. As the vocals loop, “There, with a telephone” - Corey is doing his version of just that. And frankly, I’m glad it doesn’t look like anyone else’s.
Grab Telephone here.
Parallax - a mix by smoke don’t smoke
The past couple months have flown by. Trying to maintain a super cooperate job, while attempting to keep up with the world of music, and really just life in general. It’s had me thinking whether I’m even in the right spot at all. Whether I’d be better off doing something else? Then again, maybe it’s all just parallax. The apparent displacement of an object, all due to the position in which the object is seen. Maybe from another perspective I’m right where I should be.
Bless the five who contributed exclusive tracks to this mix. Chrome Sparks, Sun Glitters, Moon Bounce, Giraffage, and Magical Mistakes. These five have been some of the most impressive producers I’ve had the pleasure of listening to this year. I’m overwhelmed that they were able to help make this mix what it is, and I’m so excited to see what they’ve still yet to make.

Moon Bounce = First of All and in Conclusion
Moon Bounce is back with an EP fit for the heavens. From the wild and exulting Whipped all the way to the serene and beautiful Jealousy March, this EP is a journey through space. From the excitement of the blast off, the breaking through the atmosphere, all the lights and glory of the stars shining before you, with no end in sight. To the eventual reality that the beauty wears off, and the weight of unlimited emptiness leans on you in alternating bouts of insanity and serenity.
Go get the EP here, and see for yourself.
I had the pleasure of throwing together this mix for amazing UK based thread company Forty Ounce Clothing. What makes the deal even sweeter is that it’s in conjunction with a collaboration t-shirt by my very own sister Steffaloo.
