DJs In The Distance 005: The Lockdown Sessions (September 2021)

Selections For All Occasions—DJ Mixes by Brendan Clay

So, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—not even close, it would seem. Despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! With no real end in sight, we decided to blow the dust off this format and serve up the fifth entry. Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes. During this current—now prolonged!—period, said opportunities haven't afforded themselves and we've been forced to get a little creative with regard to a platform for sharing and consuming music together, flexing our creative muscles in the process. Re-enter 'The Lockdown Sessions'. DJs In The Distance. Back in action for the fifth edition. A refresh. We've once again mixed up the order to keep things interesting. If you're unfamiliar, it's a DJ take on "pass the parcel"... in the best way possible. Play four tracks and pass it on. Four more, and on she goes. Without any specific plan nor objective in mind; just four of your favourites—newer, older, a guilty pleasure, a cherished favourite, or something experimental. Whatever you please—it's your stanza. This is the result: a (hopefully) cohesive 80-odd minutes of music from four mates. Four like-minded individuals. Compiled and mixed indulgently within our respective abodes. We hope you enjoy it as much... --- : Tracklisting: : Ryzi: 01: Qrion - 'Text Me Back At 4 AM' (Ryzi Late Night Walk Edit) [CDR] 02: Harrison BDP - 'It's Foggy Outside' (Ryzi Say More Ambient Edit) [CDR] 03: Byron The Aquarius ft.
