Closing out the year, the final Good Fruit mixtape comes from 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱, the creative force behind Plural, a record label and event collective based in Berlin and Barcelona. Known for their Pluralized Mix Series, they explore the expansive world of electronic music, seamlessly blending elements from diverse genres and eras. For Good Fruit, they journey into the realms of downtempo, trip-hop, and contemporary jazz, crafting a fresh and captivating mix that’s sure to become a new favourite.

"The big wave brought us. Sounds, any sounds you heard but we have forgotten. Our profiles turned away, the vibrations that make our names, the lilt of our presence. These are illustrious memories you have left us. We turn them over in the dawn, we lose them, we find them, we tell them to the few." - Pluralized

November marks the arrival of our 23rd Good Fruit mix, this time featuring the talents of 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻, an emerging artist hailing from Ghent.

"I recorded this set in the comfort of my home; records spread out all over the room and warm coloured lights to keep the crispy cold outside. I start with an excerpt from “This is water”, as it sets the mood for 90 minutes of a river-like flow. There are some records here that I’ve known for years, reliable and soothing, mixed with entrancing new sounds. From poetry over trip-hop to eastern snares or captivating jazz ivories, I wish to take you along like a leaf on a stream. Of course, I am only the messenger. The journey is yours." - Marvin Vertriest

The leaves are falling, and nature's colors are shifting—it's officially fall, our favorite time of year. What better moment to introduce our new 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, curated just for your listening pleasure. With fresh designs by Julie de Vrieze and a blend of mixes from both familiar and emerging talents, we're excited to share this journey with you.

Kicking off the series is 𝗠𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻, a young Parisian artist with a relentless passion. After eight months of perseverance and dedication, it’s finally time to release his stunning ambient mix.

"I am a visual designer living in Paris. I have been collecting records for more than ten years, focusing on electronic music and jazz. I fell into the ambient rabbit hole during the COVID lockdowns. This mix synthesises my most cherished and spiritual records, blending sci-fi, organic and dreamy textures. It’s a dance in the void and a longing for connection in a world where our bonds are breaking." - Mimen

Menica has carved out a distinctive niche in the music scene with her dynamic sets and iconic Ghent-based parties. Her musical journey began with a deep love for jazz, rhythm & blues, funk, and soul that shaped her enduring passion for infectious grooves. Growing up during the emergence of the Belgian electronic music scene, she naturally transitioned to mixing and performing electronic music at parties in Ghent and Brussels.

For Menica, the bond between the artist and the dancer is paramount. This philosophy led her to establish Ojoo Music in 2017, a platform where she curates events and releases that celebrate diverse electronic sounds, strongly emphasising artistic individuality and movement. She meticulously chooses venues that foster this artist-dancer connection, ensuring that her events are always intimate and full of character. By discovering and showcasing emerging talents, she’s cultivating a vibrant community of artists, dancers, and friends united by a shared love for boundless electronic music.

In 2022, she was a resident at Fuse Brussels, Belgium’s longest-running techno club. Today, she holds a residency at Funke, an art space, bar, and club in Ghent.

Tomorrow she'll set the tone in the garden, arrive early, stay late!

Collector, curator, connector, and risk-taker－ Alfred Anders is one of the main arteries of the Brussels music scene and nightscape. He has been guiding ears and dancefloors for the last decade as a DJ and more recently as the founder of Crevette Records.

He’s constantly crafting, shaping, and executing big plans in the quirky capital city he calls home. As a DJ he’s an investigator, passionately digging deep for unknown gems that move, entrance, and intrigue. His expertise lies in 80's and 90's House & Techno that capture a primal essence, joy, and curiosity.

In seven years, he built up Crevette Records to be a globally recognized and respected label and record shop and co-orchestrated some of Brussels’ most sought-after events. Most importantly, he tirelessly works to build a close-knit music community in this increasingly crowded and chaotic world…
