Guest Mixes Playlists
Independent tape label, music reviews, and home of the Magnetic Mystery Hour.
As the saying goes, we all want to have our cake and eat it too. But at the end of the day how many get to do both?
South Carolina-based Houdini Mansions and its founder Gray Lee is certainly up for the challenge. House of Cake, debut release/compilation from HM the label, came out in 2018 and provided the first clue (it was also reviewed for us by Whettman Chelmets).
And from there the cake-eating / cake-having continued unabated with a slew of releases by Van Jack, Andrew Weathers/Blaine Todd, qualchan. and many others. Add to that the aforementioned Magnetic Mystery Hour podcast and the reviews and….
Interestingly enough, none of Houdini Mansions releases made it into the mix that Gray compiled for us. Instead its a selection of his favorite cuts from 2019, which we don’t mind either!
Still hoping to get that label mix some day – keep an eye on our archives…
