Mezzo Forte

Bendigo's hottest new export explodes onto the MF webwaves with this hour long electronic exploration. Alec has flown onto the radar in 2019, creating a shifting, drifting mix for us that delves down endless avenues. Dubbed out  impressions follow on from acid induced Klobbers, and there's a dose of electro in there that's harder then keeping Natalya alive in the Cuban Control Centre. Make sure you check out this special issue MF005 - it's a smoking (golden) gun.  Once again featuring artwork by Sarah Matler, explore more of her fantastic photography at: www.sarahmatler.com 

Bringing us back from a brief hiatus and delivering dark & daunting selections for you is local representative for the house of techno, Grim Beasley. Grim B is an up and coming disc demon and dedicated producer, with his loop driven, clinical pieces always driving home hard. Listen out for one of his own tracks during his hour on the tower of power, sandwiched in between belters galore. Keep an eye out for this bloke in the future, and with the Labour win in Victoria this weekend you just know it’s Beazley’s time to shine. Stunning artwork by Sarah Matler, if you’re interested in seeing more you should check out: www.sarahmatler.com 

LXDN – the moniker of Alex Nitzakopolis – a Melbourne producer. Deeply melancholic and dreamy soundscapes fill the aural range for Mezzo Forte’s third podcast. One half of the electronic duo ULTRA PURE, LXDN’s live programming does not shy away from driving melodies and precise layering, all of which captures the listener’s sensibilities. He is an avid appreciator of charging, churning and powerful beats. Combining varying moods too, LXDN creates atmospheres which are blissful and hazy, anchoring the listener in with acid lines & operator sines. Plug in and enjoy.

"I recorded MF-002 one balmy Summer morning between the early hours of 5 to 7AM from at the time, a slapdash studio, in a two story building in Carlton. The energy of the records I selected varies throughout the mix, and was influenced heavily by watching the sunrise over Melbourne. It’s just under 2hrs long and it spans a variety of moods." - Marc Maisano More Marc: https://soundcloud.com/maisanosounds Cover art includes incredible photography by Sarah Matler, check out more of her stunning work at www.sarahmatler.com For tracklisting, please email mezzofortemelbourne@gmail.com
