Necromantic Halloween Aural Mummies – NHAM Mixtape 5

Posted on by mixtape

Oh yes, we’re going ghoulishly gothic for a Halloween mixtape this October. 🧟‍♂️👻🎃💀🧙

Songs and artist details with links below the mixtape.

Ether Diver – Psychedelic Ghost Story
An early visit from Ian Curtis before he’s quickly swept aside by the psychedelic ghosts of the ether? There’s a good chance you’re here because you love discovering indy music in The Fediverse. Well click through to Ether Diver’s profile to get amazing weekly fixes of new music from the Fediverse curated by him.
@etherdiver

Doctor Deathray – Bloody Bones
Described by the Doctor as “very fun”, and a paraphrased version of a story her mum told her as a kid, even though she has no recollection of it! …’Fun’ so long as you do listen and don’t fall victim of Bloody Bones! SPOT!
@DoctorDeathray

bgm – William’s Face
bgm’s very own Murder Ballad. A beautifully sung, perfectly played, horrific tail!
@bgm

Fit and the Conniptions – Old Blue Witch
It’s funny. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t think of this specific witch as a murderous, barbaric totem of evil, and yet she rules over us for so long.
@conniptions

Six Umbrellas – Zombie Disco
You can’t have a Halloween mixtape without a zombie disco. Suspend those limp-wristed limbs. Now dance.
@sixumbrellas

4TRIKS – DEATH LOOP  
Now you’re on the dance floor of doom and there’s no turning back!
@4triks

she hacked you – Ghost Dance
she hacked you identifies as a paradoxically lucid glitch witch, apparent in this apparition shuffle.
@ekis

Sgrow – out-of-body-like 
Be gone the witch, remain the glitch.
@lislegaard

John Wright – Blood  
This man must complete the holy trinity of electro Johns. Talabot, Hopkins and Wright.
@thgirwnhoj

Allflowers – Where The Witches Live
Incredibly atmospheric sounds from the French rockers.
@allflowers

Desolation Park – Night Dweller
Super rhythmic.
@desolationpark

Ultranauts – Ghosts & Angels 
There may have been no Thriller in this mix but it’s safe to say this one is all Killers. Pretty fitting.
@endlessblue

If you made it through alive well done. If not, well you’re just a ghost like the rest of us. 👻

NHAM 4: Track 12

Vince Nevers – Event Horizon (@vincenevers)
Oh! In our never ending pursuit of more we’ve come too far. Like Icarus on a universal scale we’ve reached the Event Horizon. Couldn’t think of a much better way to end it though. This has been quite the voyage. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.

NHAM 4: Track 9

Posted on by mixtape

exodrifter – Home at a Star (@exodrifter)
We’ve found a Home at a Star. Perhaps we’re a bit nostalgic for our previous life, yet we also feel calm, if slightly lonely and melancholic in our new surroundings. From the album Back to the Void.

Default Media Transmitter – Solemnity (@defaultmediatransmitter)
Ok, now we’re experiencing some turbulence. Solemnity comes from an EP called Two Space Tunes which you can check out on Mirlo. It feels like we’re going through places we’ve not comprehended before. There’s no turning back now.

NHAM 4: Track 7

Posted on by mixtape

Doctor Popular – Dazzler (@docpop)
Doctor Popular has a weekly video series called The Fediverse Files in which he extols the virtues of the Fediverse. With a different guest each week he makes simple and fun explainer videos for those not yet in the know, telling of why The Fediverse is the future. Not content with being a brilliant mouthpiece for our beautiful online home, he also makes some wonderful sounds, including Dazzler, for which there are a few versions floating about. This is the album version. Docpop, you know exactly who you are: A star.

Futzle – Written in the Stars (@futzle)
As we travel between them we’re beginning to realise that everything happening back on Earth was written in these stars. Deborah aka Futzle was just 17 when she wrote this in 1990 but it remained unearthed for 30 years until this 2020 recording was published. “Quetzalcoatl (“Feathered Serpent”) was one of the gods of Mesoamerica. His brother and rival, Tezcatlipoca (“Night Wind”) got him intoxicated and banished for drunken incest. (Yikes!) Quetzalcoatl’s associated year in the Aztec calendar was Ce Acatl (“One Reed”), which correlates to the year 1519, a very bad year for the Aztecs because that’s when Cortés landed and triggered the fall of their empire.”

KNova – UFOhs (@knova)
And then up and away we go, like a UFO. UFOhs was inspired by Mac DeMarco, which is really apparent in the beat, bassline and distorted single-strum chords. KNova is Keith in Colorado who says Star Trek is frequently playing in his house.

NHAM 4: Track 3

Posted on by mixtape

Sakti – Sound of Stars (@Sakti)
As the light reflects down on us from the moon, and the comets come and go all becomes still and we begin to go deep, hearing the Sound of Stars. I’ve already used Sakti in a previous mixtape (and quite frankly could do so in every one, with so many great compositions to choose from) but with a cosmic themed mix this time I couldn’t leave out Sound of Stars. If this is what they sound like then it’s no wonder we’ve decided to make this one way mission to get closer to them.

NHAM 4: Track 2

Posted on by mixtape

gribbles – Comets (@gribbles)
gribbles says Comets is an ‘attempt at real music’. It’s a hugely successful attempt. From sublime to sinister and back again, befitting our impending journey into space. Originally visualised as a pastoral piece with complexities of storms followed by clear skies and birds on the wing, gribbles realised it was becoming overworked so cut back the complexity and was left with this. Much like when we cut back the complexities of our life on earth and are left with the awe-inspiring simplicity of vast open space.
