Do you ever find yourself looking for the perfect soundtrack to set the mood for your next study session? Or perhaps a laidback mix to spice up your work-from-home arrangement? Look no further!
Welcome to Natural Selections, the Youtube video series that combines David Attenborough-style wildlife footage with the finest selection of house music mixed in various scenic locations around Australia.
After returning home from a year long European tour in 2019, DJ Phoenix Manson was confronted with the task of trying to provide a meaningful musical experience to fans in the brave new world of lockdown livestreams and virtual festivals.
Keep up with the latest music news, features, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
His solution? Pairing tasteful house music with the therapeutic qualities of nature documentaries to create the perfect backdrop for work, study and relaxation.
When asked where the idea came from Manson explained: “The concept draws from a range of influences that were having a meaningful impact on people’s lives during the pandemic. Everything from the Lo-Fi girl to David Attenborough’s witness statement. I’ve always had a deep reverence for this beautiful land on which we live. Music is the perfect medium to highlight and share these special locations with the rest of the world.”
