“When the past dies there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.” – Gloria Steinem.

The 50th broadcast of Infinite Beat features a new compilation release called Constructions Vol. 1. Released by David Last‘s newly launched record label, Last Faith Studios, Constructions showcases an all star cast of collaborating producers and artists like Robin Hitchcock, Christina Chatfield, Lavender and David Last himself. Through music, Last and his collaborators used the process of creation as a way of coping and connecting through their collective mourning post-Oakland Fire. Highly recommended.

Afterwards, Last shares an exclusive mix for Infinite Beat. Full of favorites that he and his partner Chelsea Faith Dolan (Cherushii) found inspiration from while listening in their home studio as well as Chu Ishikawa clips stemming from Last’s love of film, soundtracks and the composers that have inspired his own music. Enjoy.
