The vibe is unique and experimental, a new age-y, jazz-rock-y type of deal. I’ve been quite inspired for a long time by the character and creativity of this era; something abou...

mmarzmmarz 075 | samantha: wet trip"Recorded this mix while thinking about the long highways in the US, and listening to music in the car. I've been very into 90s road films recently. Living in cities, I miss driving sometimes and big open spaces. This mix is a soundtrack for hours in the car, gas stations, conversations and coffee."

mmarzmmarz 072 | angie qq: alone at big bear"For two months during the pandemic I lived alone in Big Bear. When I first drove up the peak and saw the snow I laughed like a child. Sometimes, when the loneliness crawled in bed next to me, I cried like a child.
I am never lonely in my car. Everyday at Big Bear I would drive relentlessly down highways 18 and 38 — also known as the 'Rim of the World.' There at the world’s end I found freedom within myself, my mix, and the road."

The music says it all... with feeling.
