Soela — 12×01 podcast

Today is an unusual day. Today is the premiere of the first guest podcast by 12″. I’m pleased to say that the first response came from Elina Shorokhova, also known as Soela. A quarter of her Early Bird record, which has already been released by the UK label E-Beamz (DJ Boring with Winona is also there), was featured in the April low-fi minimix. Today, she has an hour-long selection with a lot of fresh deep house, diverse and strange music, and pleasant dub techno, some written by her. Exclusive news: the proof of our guest’s dedication to achieving perfection is the fact that she re-recorded a completed hour-long podcast the day before its release. Elina felt that the mix didn’t fully reflect her state of mind and the entire tracklist. That’s why we’re listening to the second option right away.

Here is what the author has to say: “I put a lot of emotions into the podcast, actually. It seems to me that it sounds quite restless and fickle, which fully reflects my condition now. As I listen to it once more, I try to reassure myself that I didn’t make any mistakes, but nothing works out—live podcasts, it seems to me, are never perfect. That’s part of their charm.”
