Ella Blou is a British designer and DJ, host of Transcient Landscape on Skylab Radio. I absolutely love her work as a designer and as a DJ and I’m so pleased to had her on the show. We sort of subconsciously coordinated our effort to record the show as we share an unconditional love for little plastic thingies among other things and had lengthy discussions about it. As Ella puts it, the mix is « mostly songs that I associate with the playful textures and patterns of childhood in that its quite emotionally squishy, digitally restless and maybe even plastic-y? There are also some jazz/easy-listening/saudade moments in there as well that feel reminiscent of dreams from that time ~ i also like that there is more than one track with food it in it haha. » I’m subscribing to this statement : the mix is definitely bumpy, colorful, joyful – sometimes squishy.
