Forecasts

Forecasts are mixes presented by Huw Roberts and selected friends and guests for Serein. Wanting to capture something of the personal touch of mix-tapes, I have asked that each author include an unadulterated photograph of their environment to accompany each mix. I have long had an obsession with the effect weather has on my mood and my choice of music, the contributed photos will, I hope, give an insight into the author's surroundings or inspiration when they created their mix.

Authors are also required to include something of their own creation in the tracklist, this could take the form of a full track, sample, field recording... anything goes.

Westwind

Westwind is a selection of tracks by Mentz, otherwise known as Stephan Raab. Stephan has roots with the legendary netlabel Tokyo Dawn Records and continues to write jazz blending found sound and live instrumentation.

December

December is a loose collection of tracks from albums I've been listening to a lot lately, or in the case of the soundtrack compositions, from films I've recently seen where the score has made an impression.

Reintroduction

Reintroduction is the first in a series of mixes (forecasts) presented by Serein. 'Reintroduction' is intended as both a retrospective and a glance at what lies ahead for the label, put together by label owner Huw Roberts.
