Today's half hour mix is from Nottingham via the Balearic isles (or vice versa), thirty minutes from Coyote. Tim Sure and Richard Hampson met in Venus, the legendary early 90s Nottingham club that was part of the Balearic network. After spending much of the 90s DJing the pair formed Coyote in 2004. Their back catalogue goes way back but all of the music in the mix below comes from 2021, a year in which they put out several waves of releases and remixes of other artists.
Stockport doesn't have a coast but the idea of a Costa del Stockport is a brilliant one. This graffiti sits on the base of a bridge carrying the M60 over the Mersey near Stockport. Coyote's music is very much the music of the coasts.
Opening track Cafe Con Leche was one of my favourites from last year, a female voice saying 'when all this is over I plan to head north', a sentiment we've all felt at times in the last two years. Mint Tea comes from last year's album The Mystery Light as does Andrew Weatherall tribute The Outsider, an acoustic guitars and a bass overlaid with part of an interview with Alan Watts where he talks about society and the insanity that 'everyone must join in, everybody must work, everybody must belong... you don't have to join in, you don't have to play the game'. Feedback County is a slow mo, acoustic guitar flecked delight from the album Buzzard County, out just under a year ago and Paris From Above is a remix of Icelandic artist Tonarunur. Will We Ever Dance Again was the A-side of a 12" released last autumn, a question without a question mark.

Just wrapping up the first of what will be several listens today to this mix. Absolutely perfect, Adam.
Pefect soundtrack to a gorgeous day here in Tampa!
That sounds like as good a place to play it as any Echorich.
