There's just something about that first chill in the air, hailing the arrival of autumn, that makes @maxsalty ravenously crave shoegaze, dreampop, and indie rock. This mix is his ode to the strange emotional potency of autumn, featuring simple, bittersweet indie songs with crisp, windy exteriors and warm inner cores. Ideal listening for a chilly, contemplative solo walk through a changing landscape...

We're back this week with an exuberant 80s-centric mix by interior designer Travis Trew, who has returned to mmarz to serve up "a musical jello salad chock-full of tender bleepy-bloopies."

We're back this week with a thoughtful guest mix by writer Shawn Cremer, aka @scremes, who offers the following words to all who press play: "Pause before we begin. Take a deep inhale. Yes, you. Come here. Venez. Open your senses to the music of Incense Incognita. She begins with top notes of muscatel and vetiver, do you smell that? It blooms. In the middle comes rain-soaked moss and smooth black stones. Close and damp and muddy sweet. It seeps. It sings. Then, rolling through to drier ground, where kopal smoke drifts through the eucalyptus trees at night. Perhaps we'll go in for a drink. Come back for another inhale. The base notes. The anchors that linger. Follow your nose into the depth of the music. The hinoki cedar and the night blooming cereus float over the sweet steam of oolong. Exhale." Tracklist: mmarzmix.com/134

Harken! For @maxsalty has returned with his annual winter mix, just in time for the holidays.

This week, mmarz resident @maxsalty whips out his hotly anticipated tribute to the 90s. Though hailing from an assortment of genres (all of which, in this mixer's opinion, saw their finest examples in the 90s), the tracks on this mix are unified by the coolness, rawness, and lust for danger associated with Gen X counterculture. Press play for an hour of sexy, angry, nonconformist tunes guaranteed to make you feel like a hot villain. xx. Tracklist: mmarzmix.com/127

"Some key ideas that come to mind when I think about this set: Divine. Healing. Blending old and new. Exploring sounds. Deep. Non-genre." @yair-shayovitz, a.k.a. DJ BarBur, is a partner and creator of the Bad Event brand, as well as a music producer, a booker at the prestigious Phi Garden Club in Tel Aviv and an active DJ in the city's underground. His love for music started through the gaming world of the late 90s. The aesthetic of nostalgic electronic sound always brought him back home, no matter where he was in the world. To this day, his search for that warm, sophisticated and enveloping sound continues... Tracklist: mmarzmix.com/121

This week, camp connoisseur Travis Trew delivers a potpourri of exuberant musical tchotchkes from forgotten disco divas, new wave weirdos, faux-naïfs, and actual naïfs: "Last weekend I stumbled into a bar where decommissioned animatronic puppets from It's Small World caroused and drank their troubles away. Late into the night they gyrated wildly on the dancefloor and gorged themselves on banana Runts while these songs played on the jukebox. When I regained consciousness the next morning, a tender new tattoo on my left buttock read, 'I Love Sweet William.' Who is Sweet William? I may never know." Tracklist: mmarzmix.com/117

This week, mmarz is honored to present a special guest mix by the Paris-based musician Joseph Schiano di Lombo (@joseph-schiano-di-lombo).

This week, we're excited to present a synth-laden, 80s-inspired mix by special guest @simfossil: “The theme of this mix is a certain new age sound and flavor from 80s recordings. I traced this sound through the work of many Japanese artists (hence the Shibas on the cover) and I would say this became the backbone of the mix: music by the legendary Haruomi Hosono, Yuji Toriyama and many more. The vibe is unique and experimental, a new age-y, jazz-rock-y type of deal. I've been quite inspired for a long time by the character and creativity of this era; something about the guitar and instrumentation gives it that special touch. Personally, as a producer, I'm a big fan of Yamaha instruments, in particular the DX7, which I've come to associate with this time in music. Though Japanese artists are the central thread, I've made a kind of fusion of many different things that to me capture this special flavor.” Tracklist: mmarzmix.com/114
