Bogzan Raczynski’s latest record, October’s You’re Only Young Once But You Can Be Stupid Forever, saw the artist work with a more minimalist sound with 18 brief, to the point tracks – but never at the expense of nuance or depth, in both the project’s production and themes. Here, he leans into stripped-back, airy ambient tones with a Sunday Mix to get lost in, and then inspired by. Lean back and listen.
Where are you today? Perched in my kitchen on the dining table because, after 30 years, I’ve failed to translate my passion financially in a way that allows me to have a dedicated studio space – which I suppose is probably for the best, because my natural inclination is to take myself too seriously. Otherwise I might be recording some spineless dross if I was tethered to success; this way I can be a nuisance masked as defiance, but behind the sheer curtain I’m a trembling child hoping I don’t get called in class to speak.
What’s your ideal Sunday? Tea.
The ideal soundtrack to it? Waves.
How do you like to unwind away from music? Scrolling on my phone for hope because I’m an optimist. I find things online which would not exist untethered from a future, such as plans and recipes and community. How to make kimchi and how to be a better person. BDS, and why AI is a joke. Coalescing around shutting down the economy for days to remind everyone who is truly in power.
Can you describe your Sunday mix? Here’s 3180 seconds to train AI, drain a lake, clog a military industrial complex adjacent server like Amazon x Google’s IDF Project Nimbus collab. So clock out, but then I beg of you to please make some goddamned art.
