FACT 414 differs from most of their previous mixes this year. They’ve hosted hard-hitters like Logos, Tiga, Mark Pritchard, Visionist amongst others, who have all provided their unique take on worldwide dancefloor vibes. But for their first podcast of December FACT has called on the reverb-heavy, beautiful vocal sounds of Julianna Barwick. As they said, “Forget the club or the gym – FACT 414 is a session designed for rolling dustbowls and star-pocked night skies.”

This year’s ‘Nepenthe‘ LP for Dead Oceans saw her expand her sonic palette, working with members of Sigur Ros’ inner circle and bringing a cast of guitarist, choirs and supplementary bodies on board, and her mix emanates from the same contemplative space as her own music. Don’t expect to play this before going out, and certainly don’t listen to it expecting to vibe out. Barwick’s voice is an undeniably beautiful instrument though, and I urge you to listen to this mix with the lights off. A midnight drive; a rainy day even. Just listen.
