i’ve always enjoyed featuring canadian artists on the show, and this episode is no exception. expect plenty of organic textures, dubbed-out atmospheres, hypnotic rhythms, and a few detours into reggae, post-punk, and more experimental fare.

it opens with a new release from toronto’s Spiritual World imprint. a departure from the label’s usual hazy, dubby fare, Ashleigh Ball—best known as the singer and flutist of toronto trip-hop trio TEAL—turns inward on a solo flute record recorded at the dominion astrophysical observatory on vancouver island, recalling the new age explorations of Paul Horn.

another recent favourite is the collaboration between Mas Aya and fellow torontonian Khôra. if you’re into hypnotic percussion, flutes, electronics, and psychedelic textures, this one’s well worth your time.

also featured is a new release from toronto’s Local Dish label, one of my go-to imprints over the past year for its eclectic catalog of analog recordings showcasing local artists. included in the mix is toronto reggae pioneer R. Zee Jackson’s reggae reinterpretation of Bobby Caldwell’s “what you won’t do for love.” you’ll also hear a track from fellow toronto artist King Pong Dub System.

later on, the mix drifts into the dubbed-out post-punk of montreal duo CUERPOS, whose records I’ve really been digging lately.

i hope you enjoy it!

i’ve been meaning to make a proper home for forms of love for a while now, so i’m really glad i finally got around to it. the idea is pretty simple: somewhere you can come back to old episodes whenever you feel like it, whether you missed one live or just want to hear a mix again.

if you have any thoughts about the show or the site, i’d love to hear them. feel free to send me an email with feedback, suggestions, music recommendations, or even just to say hi.

anyway, grab a snack, pour yourself something nice, and enjoy. lots of hazy jazz and ambient on this one. ♡
