Friends of Friends mix series: Sven Swift – Fickle Spots

We continue our monthly Friends of Friends guest series with a 45 mins musical journey from Sven Swift, one half of the creative minds behind the excellent net/real label Error Broadcast alongside Flip, and as happens also a friend of ours. So this month is defo a family ting.
As always below are some words from Sven about the mix, an image supplied by him above and a full tracklist + download link and stream player. This month’s mix is a mellow affair, all about the fickle spots as the title suggests. I’m down with them too.
As a child, I’ve been obsessed with the light breaking under half closed eyes. There were these rich, fickle spots just below your sight, and I spent hours trying to focus and come by. Once we got a television set, this afternoon amusement stopped for the sake of colourful images that were no longer my own. Time flies.
With these 40 minutes of beats and textures, I tried to re-create the atmosphere of sitting on the couch blinking into the light of the afternoon sun and doing nothing else besides. This is not a collection of ambient tunes, sure. But the genre borders are blurred in the most adventurous Rap and Garage productions nowadays, and it is easy to get lost with an Abby Lee Tee, fuer.steps or Constrobuz track. Loads of exclusive material here. Please enjoy!
So without further ado get stuck in and be sure to check for Sven’s EB mixtape here. Also click here to check all FoF mixes so far including submissions from Asura and Kper.
