[ATPN009] FIGURE 2_Various Artists (snippets)

Abby Lee Tee (Fabian Holzinger, b. 1987) is an Austrian producer and DJ whom we once described as being more playful than an otter. His ever-evolving solo material has drawn on a wide range of influences from beat tapes to ambient, utilizing field recordings and unusual instruments. Abby Lee Tee’s work has shown up recently in Giovanni Lami‘s Tapeocracy mix as well as the Dinzu episode of the Sound Propositions podcast. He has produced a bunch of Guest mixes over the years, including Cold Spell Days & Hesitant Yearlings around this time two years ago.  We’re very pleased to share his second mix for ACL, young frogs & golden lakes. His first mix was "a laid back mix of beats and ambient sound composed while overcoming a cold during the recent transition to Spring," so this is the perfect moment for a sequel. Enjoy!

Car In The Sun

Igloo Magazine is an electronic music e’zine publishing articles about current, classic and upcoming music from around the globe. Our mission is to introduce readers to the burgeoning undergrowth of electronic musicians by covering a wide range of genre’s including ambient, experimental, dub, dubstep, shoegaze, electro, techno, drone, IDM, industrial, post-industrial, and all the debris in between. Pulling together a vast tapestry of like-minded contributors, the virtual Igloo doors officially opened December of 2000. We consistently seek to provide coverage for musicians creating left-of-center music that is not necessarily covered in general music media. Igloo Magazine publishes articles in the capacity of Newswires, Reviews, Features and Profiles for artists that wouldn’t normally receive the light of digital ink.
