💦LYLR 5💦 - 'Wild Dreams' by Kolya
WORDS FROM KOLYA
“Dreams, dreams wild dreams!” This audiobook (!) starts off woozily and kinda boozily in some late-80s American locker room - hellooo high-school highballs! Soon the thick funk retreats and the heavy smog of minor chords loom - oh hello, interiority? Thank god that’ll never return (!?) Anyways, pretty soon we’re up in the sky riding some magic tea towel, with all kinds of ups and downs - whooosh! If cats are dreaming about their owners, and I certainly try to access my feline potential, I guess my dreaming self is owned by some sort of rollercoaster factory!! if you catch my gist?! - “Midnight fantasy!”
WORDS FROM CASPER CLARK
Well now, this really is a special one! Not only have I never heard a single track on this mixtape before (always a good sign, and just the way we like it Chez Lubrikant), but it’s also put together by a dear friend whose singular ear has been apparent since our first encounters at the Lock Tavern some 20 odd years ago when he was but an eager chicken. It’s a diverse journey through obscurant corners of the electronicasphere, with a consistently exotic, woozy… dare I say it, dreamy vibe. You won’t hear anything else quite like it any time soon.

💦LYLR💦 4 - 'Walking Straight Ahead In A Backwards Direction' by Lucy Swan
WORDS FROM LUCY SWAN
While putting this together I was thinking on going absolutely nowhere as a journey in and of itself; on repetition as a form of change; on stasis as progress; on devotion as practice; on the quiet resilience of love etc.
WORDS FROM CASPER CLARK
It became apparent very early on in curating this series that I should limit it (almost) exclusively to people that I have an existing friendship with. For the fourth instalment, I've taken the premise a little further by inviting and encouraging a friend who had never put together and shared a 'mix' before. Her contribution tested my own limits by exploring non-electronic alternative, experimental and minimal ground that I have never particularly explored in my own mixes.

💦LYLR 3💦 'Moist Philosopher' by S Ruston
WORDS FROM S Ruston
A mix of artists I’ve admired for a minute, artists I’ve just discovered, clever friends doing bits, lighting a candle for lost comrades, thoughts on a genocide, small moments of joy, long lost lovers, soothing the nervous system. A prayer.
WORDS FROM CASPER CLARK
It’s an honour to welcome the super-talented Sophie to Lubrikate Your Living Room, and they've evidently gone the extra mile to curate a sonically rich and emotional journey for us. We were recently brought together by the passing of a dearly departed friend and fellow rave traveller, Peter Kirk (AKA The Outlaws) and the subsequent ‘megamorial’ that we collectively threw in his honour. This past week, we travelled together en masse to the Birkenhead Day Of The Dead to lay a brick in the KLF’s People’s Pyramid in his honour. We'd like to dedicate this mix to his memory, and invite you to seek solace in the beautifully contemplative mood the mix evokes.

💦LYLR 2💦 'Remember Yesterday' by Ilan (Night City Life)
WORDS FROM ILAN
"Didn't Time Sound Sweet Yesterday" - Scott Walker
WORDS FROM CASPER CLARK
'Remember Yesterday' is a pensive, at times almost elegiac selection of home-listening beauties which have been carefully put together and mixed (with vinyl only) by a dab-hand selector who I've had the pleasure to know for quite some time. Ilan has become known more recently for his synth-driven 'Night City Life' compilations of forgotten and obscure gems, distributed via the Spacetalk label, but we first met on or around the dancefloor of his erstwhile Hypnotic Tango events in various London basements, which he ran alongside my close friend Olly Fas. He's quietly developed a reputation over the years as somebody that goes the extra mile to source weird and wonderful music of a generally upbeat nature, which is befitting of the weird and wonderful chap with a generally upbeat nature that Ilan undoubtedly is.
As with all of the forthcoming mixes in this series, please give it a chance and listen without prejudice. There's no tracklist this time around.
💦LYLR 1💦 Gradually, And Then Suddenly by Casper Clark
WORDS FROM CASPER CLARK
I was listening to some mixes by a recent discovery of mine, Kyle Toole, and felt compelled to start grouping some records from my collection into a playlist. As the list began to burgeon, it seemed to be taking on something of a downtempo, you might even say trip-hoppy flavour. Listening to the playlist took me back to being a young teenager in the living room of my childhood home. My Dad was in the grip of an ecstasy-fuelled midlife crisis and would be near-constantly playing Kruder & Dorfmeister’s ‘K&D Sessions’, bootleg Buddha Bar CDs, Leftfield’s ‘Leftism’, The Beloved’s ‘Conscience’ and various William Orbit and Fluke records. I realised over the years what a profound influence this time had on my eventual obsession with electronic music, especially of the deep and transcendent variety. I think there’s a misconception at times that all music that fell under the chill-out banner was somehow banal or wallpaper muzak, but that’s not the way that I see it at all. Hopefully you’ll agree once you’ve listened to this mix, a near 3 and a half hour journey.
