Taking Time: Mr. Mitch | Resident Advisor

 

In the second edition of Taking Time, London artist Mr. Mitch jams with his kids at home. As nightclubs and festivals shut down last year amid the pandemic, many artists retreated into their studios to make music. This led to a flood of releases on Bandcamp and other retailers, and buying music became the easiest and most direct way to support artists whose gigs had dried up. But how did the events of last year impact the way artists approach their craft? In this film series, we capture intimate at-home performances of tracks produced during lockdown. We explore how the events of past year impacted the music that was made, unpacking the emotions that fuelled the creative process. We visited the Gobstopper Records boss in the run-up to the release of his new album, Lazy. Mr Mitch explained how being locked down at home has pushed him to involve his two children in his music-making, and how they inspire his creative process in unexpected ways.
