With their music, Ruth Mascelli pairs slinking, synth-fuelled transcendence with crooning, existential balladry and reverberating cosmic romanticism. Something which the New Orleans-based musician – who also forms one quarter of Special Interest – evidences on their second solo record Non-Stop Healing Frequencies, self-described as a collection of “paranoid torch songs”, and the “esoteric diva” channelling companion release The Institute For Astral Health.
For today’s Crack Mix, Mascelli delves into murky and steamy electronic terrains. “I decided to challenge myself by making a mix that gestures towards the dancefloor,” Mascelli begins. “Full frontal embodiment music with an undercurrent of seasick ambient.”
“Half calculated and half improvised – collapsing and reconfiguring in the moment,” they add, “with a couple of special inclusions in the form of a new Special Interest remix as well as an unreleased outtake from A Night At The Baths” – referring to their solo debut. Press play and get locked in.
