"So upon being asked about making a mix for the Aquatic Collective and using my thoughts on water as a theme was a route I'd never thought about when making a mix. My previous mixes, which are mainly drumless ambient take on cultural and locality references, usually flicking between the Indian subcontinent, and "deep space" (wherever that may be). So with a mix based around water brought some interesting ideas to mind. When I think of 'watery' beats, I think dub techno, and when I think dub techno, I think Deepchord, and when I think Deepchord, I think the frozen wilderness of Norway and the Siberian taiga.

So definitely some Deepchord & Echospace had to be in here at some point. The recurring field recording that the mix starts of with was from a Em:t compilation my friend bought me, then moving into Susumu Yokota which I have fond memories of sitting on the concrete wavebreakers in Japan looking out to a watery horizon. Although here in England I rarely see the sea, over in Japan, I had a nice balance between the vast Pacific and remote mountain springs. So making a water themed mix has been interesting, because I'm not particularly fond of 'big' water.... I can't swim for shit, expansive water is a little scary, so I tried including track that have memories or feelings of ice, humidity, fog, or being on a imaginary submarine expedition."
