Don Cherry to Madlib via Saturn.

The latest global psych troubadours to find a home on international label of consequence Soundway Records, Vanishing Twin have dropped a fantastic 60 minute mix charting their journey to the label.

With a tracklist that basically reflects our idea of the perfect record collection, the mix begins with astral harpist Dorothy Ashby and electronic wizard Bruce Haack, moving freely between the avant garde jazz of Don Cherry and Sun Ra, and afro funk from The Hykkers and Joe Mensah all the way through to contemporary practitioners like The Heliocentrics and Madlib. The link here? Malcolm Catto, who plays with both, has produced several tracks on Vanishing Twin’s Soundway debut Choose Your Own Adventure.

Anyway, enough from us – dig into the “West looking East, East looking West” mix of cryptic waffles below and find out more about their forthcoming record on Soundway here ahead of its release on standard and limited edition green vinyl on 30th September.
