Listen to a mix by Lucy

Lucy ‎makes an exclusive mix for the cover mount CD for Tsugi magazine, n°91, April 2016, entitled Your Cell Will Teach You All Things.

Lucy (Luca Mortellaro) is one of the pre-eminent sonic adventurers of his time. Not bound to conventional pre-conceptions of what an electronic musician, producer, or DJ must be, Lucy has evolved his distinct sound signature by reconciling the deeply personal with the esoteric, and by harmonizing the spheres of technology and biology. In doing so, he has become rare as an artist, in his ability to please an audience while also introducing them to elements they were not yet familiar with and thereby pushing them out of their comfort zone. read more >

Feature: Mark Barrott’s Insomnia In Deepest South America

The first of his new monthly column’s for the Ransom Note

A memoir from the International Feel boss…

I’ve been thinking about what to write about in this column for a few days and had kind of settled on the weird little idiosyncrasies (or foibles if, like my mother, you’re Barnsley mental,­ don’t ask) of everyday life (well my life) and out of nowhere as I was falling asleep last night, I remembered my period of insomnia in Uruguay a few years ago (obviously, great timing on the cusp of never never land, but still…)
