Back in April, artists Malwina Chabocka and William Andris Wood held a joint exhibition at the Gasoline Rooms gallery in East London. In addition to doing a live Hands of Ruin set at the private view, I was asked to provide a mix that would play throughout the event. I wanted to choose music that would complement the paintings and also reflect the tastes of the artists. While it’s perhaps a little dark for an exhibition opening, I was satisfied that it suited both the space and the paintings. It spans a number of genres, with a focus on goth and shoegaze, but also branching out into folk, metal and electronica. There wasn’t much time to put the mix together, and it had to last several hours, so it’s not as polished as some of my other mixes. It’s split into three parts.
