Really happy to have Lucy Cliché on the team. Lucy Cliché is a Sydney, Australia based musician who's been at it for a while now, playing music (and an occasional DJ) under various guises including Lucy Cliché and Loose-y Crunché, and collaboratively with Half High, Naked On The Vague, and Knitted Abyss. As Lucy Cliché she's released records on Fleisch and Noise In My Head. Lucy Cliché's music delivers a hard bitten exploration of how physicality and the ethereal can interact in music – heavy bass rhythms lock into pounding drums, washed over with synth chords and acid bleeps.
She's wrote some words on the mix:
"I've lovingly crafted this mix of some of my favourite (predominantly loosely electronic and experimental) Australian and New Zealand artists, with mostly newer tracks and a few older tracks to keep them in good company. This mix pretty much transverses through palettes of sounds that excite my ears and nurture my heart, with music from my intimate and broader music communities. During lock-down I've been reflecting on the importance of having a strong local (music) community, because Australia at the best of times is geographically isolated, but now borders are shut, so the local music community needs to be more self-sufficient, and I guess part of this involves positively reflecting inward with curiosity and admiration as to nurture what is here, valuing the labour and love of creating at a time of being so physically separated from the rest of the world."
