Music has always been an essential part of the Recspec universe, whether it's DJing, making mixes, or just what we listen to in the studio... there's always something on. We love to partner with our varied collaborators to make artwork for mixes we've asked them to create, and hope to do so more often, so keep an eye on this space.
Monk Parker – Lost World Radio
Monk Parker is an expert when it comes to soothing and sad songs, crafting beautiful ones of his own, and collecting rare gems via his Lost World Radio. We were lucky enough to have him put together a mix of some of his favorites for us – evoking moods somewhere between the worlds of Wong Kar Wai and David Lynch – with Part II on the way. A perfect soundtrack for bittersweet memories of lost worlds, now left far behind.
Prince Klassen – Wild Combination
Prince Klassen was always one of our favorite DJs back when he lived in Austin, and we’ve kept up with his mixes and radio shows since he’s moved to NYC and LA. He’s still killing it on both coasts, and we’re so honored to feature this mix on our site, highlighting some of types and styles of music he plays on his radio show Wild Combination. The songs on this mix span the years 1978-2015, and many genres, but are so true to Klassen’s style and paradisian vibes. Perfect summer listening and chill weekend jams.
The Cosmic Orphan – Take Me Away
The Cosmic Orphan put together this mix for us back when he was a guest at our monthly DJ night at Rio Rita with Insect Records, and it was always one of our favorite mixes from that series, and well, basically ever. It really runs the gamut of styles, but is all seamlessly woven together for a true journey through space and beyond.
Recspec – The Mouth is For
Here at Recspec, we are no strangers to the language of love. So we’ve put together a little mix for all of you lovers out there, because as some of you may know, St. Valentine was martyred for his love of mouth sex. Or something.*
*A Tiny Disclaimer: All of this should be looked at as just good, plain fun, and is in no way meant to offend. If you are a sensitive listener, you might want to pass on this one.
Recspec – Season of The Witch Vol. 1
Premonitions and songs for witches. Music for incanting and enchanting.
Season of The Witch is volume one in a series of themed mixes by Recspec – centered around some of the darkest and witchiest songs that we love, with a tinge of psych and a lot of spirits. A limited edition of 100 CDs were created with hand numbered, silkscreened sleeves, compiled and designed in full by Recspec.
