Cosmix 14 – Geddes

 NoFitState founder and London underground rave treasure, Geddes, mixes Cosmix 14.  ‘The older I get the more I recognise the healing potential of music – the rhythms, the words, the feelings… We are surrounded by musical mantras that, if we choose to hear, can lead to infinite healing.”  

I have known Geddes for a decade now, a crew of us lived together ten years ago in Ibiza in the Villa of Joy, which held legendary status as the fun and fancy dress place to go between Space (where Geddes and Rob Star looked after the Sunday mornings for We Love with mulletover, one of the most cutting edge underground nights in London at that time), and DC10 – where we would all bundle down early Monday afternoon to have massive fun. He is one of those people that at first comes across as quite serious and silent, but actually has a brilliant sense of humour and loves fancy dress – as every true raver does. These are my favourite looks from Geddes and Rob from the mulletover daze:

Geddes takes time to know people and has a depth of thinking that you maybe don’t initially recognise, I first noticed this when he suggested for me to watch the film Frida, an inspiring cultural and political insight to the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her partner Diego Rivera, which became one of my favourite films. He also takes time with his music and has a very precise style and taste, which has led him to DJ at clubs the world over, including Panorama Bar, Watergate and Robert Johnson, and to release on labels including Mobilee, Truesoul, Leftroom, Tsuba, You Are We, 2020 Vision and his own imprints murmur and NoFitState.

Along with many of us in dance music, Geddes is on a path to search for something higher and outside the normal realms of society, and he is very honest with his process. We are all human and no one is perfect, which is the beauty I love in the dance music community, no one knows for sure and no one has the answers, but we are all willing to experiment to see what happens.

The message is in the music.

Tell us about the mix
I pulled together a load of tracks I love listening to but wouldn’t necessarily play in a club, towards the end it picks up with some disco flavours but in general it’s a slow work out.
