The Mirror Mix

For number forty two, comes a mix from someone whose mixes have soundtracked many of my days in the last few years. @alblayney is a Dublin, Ireland based digger, DJ and label head - running @appiansounds label and more recently @spaceshepherdmusic

Al is a relentless digger for smooth dub techno and dreamy house and electronica records - sounds which trademark his always lovely mixes. 
Beyond his knack for crafting mixes, Al's label @appiansounds has seen releases from the likes of @forest-drive-west , @o-utlier and many more, and boasts a diverse, classy and exciting catalogue of music. 

He also runs a monthly radio show, 'Space Shepherd w/ Al Blayney' on Dublin Digital Radio --listen.dublindigitalradio.com/resident/s…ian-sounds

Thanks again for his lovely mix Al!

08 - Al Blayney

Here's the first hour of my set played on the Sunday evening at 6pm at Springkell in Scotland. A beautiful small party curated and organised by Ario from https://soundcloud.com/astralindustries and soundcloud.com/o-utlier It was a magical few days with so much great music and friendly faces at every turn. 

I was feeling a little fragile when i stepped up to play after 2 days of indulgence but enjoyed warming things up. Already looking forward to next year! Thanks to Moy Santana for the recording and to all the Springkell crew : )

Another magical weekend at Springkell in Scotland (In November 2022 )with a great bunch of heads. So many talented artists were present and blew me away with their music and selections. This set was played in warmup territory at 6:30pm  on day 2 with x2 Technics and with a nice buzz in the room.

The Yellow Pineapple // Aug 2015

A mix dedicated to my new friends in Madrid. . . 

I was lucky enough to be invited to play @ one of the Downbeat label nights in Madrid in late October. It was my first time playing out at a club in years. When Alfonso contacted me it was an amazing moment......Downbeat for me is one of the best underground Labels anywhere. This mix was compiled from the bag of records i brought with me to the party.....albeit quite a bit shorter in length.

Tracks from Aleks, ESHU, Fred Buddah, Orphidal, Kai Alcé . . . .amongst others.

Hope you like : )

Been taking some time out and spending it in the west of Ireland between two special places - a cottage by a beautiful lake called Lough Mask and a gaff close to the sea in Connemara.
