Tomorrow, Baltimore-based sample-slinger Co La heads to Toronto to kick off a Northeast tour in support of his ecstatic and schizophrenic recent album on Software, Moody Coup. To celebrate, Matthew Papich made us a mix of previously unrheard Co La material in addition to tracks from some equally dubbed-out cohorts, including Los Angeles producer Phork and New York City's Motion Graphics. It starts with a resonating cat purr. Says Papich of the mix, "These are all unreleased / unknown tracks from friends and collaborators. 'Dass On' is from the Moody Coup demos, it got lost in the shake. The Motion Graphics track is likely my favorite in the mix, Joe Williams is always a step ahead. Also have a soon to be released Phork track for Opal Tapes stuck in there, it's logic is so fresh sounding to my ears—study it. Ran it all through a Lexicon Prime Time to keep it buzzing for the summer burners. En Joy."
