first track from Murcof is amazing, but has no connection with the rest. but still be a good ambient mix

ASIP

It's been five years to this day (26th) since the very first post on ASIP.

Looking back, it's been an incredible journey and I never thought that five years later we would have amassed over 40 very special isolated mixes by some of my musical heroes, over 27 digital releases, again by a multitude of talented artists and more recently, our very first physical release in Uncharted Places. Not to mention an iPhone app, the Places Series map and of course, an amazing bunch of likeminded ambient and electronica lovers who I wouldn't have otherwise met.

I've been helped along the way by some very generous people. Most recently, everyone who helped support Uncharted Places but for a couple of years now there's been a little donate button at the top of the site and some very kind people have been so kind as to contribute directly to the ASIP cause. This money has helped push the site on further, from the small things to the bigger developments, we wouldn't be here today without these people.

Everyone who donated directly to the site was asked to suggest their favourite track for a compilation mix which has been kept behind closed doors for over three years now. I could've kept this mix going, but I feel like it's the right time to release it as a thank you to all of those involved and to help celebrate five years of ASIP.

As you can imagine, it's more a compilation than a mix, spanning ambient, electronica, chill-out and downtempo but as a whole it does a good job in recognising the type of music we all enjoy here on ASIP.

Thank you to everyone involved in ASIP these past five years.

"It’s an honour to be able to do an Electronic Explorations mix, Rob Booth, the founder, is one of the most influential and nicest heads in the electronic music world, so the pressure was on for me to deliver! I am not a DJ in the traditional sense of using tech for beat matching and using pitch controls although I love to hear all that, instead I have mixed all these tracks purely by ear, a bit like I play the piano, which is never to a metronome and just by feeling, more jazz than electronic in that sense. I have included many of the versions that artists have done of my tracks for the new album “Reworks”, nearly all the other songs are new to me this year and are sign posts to some of my earliest influences in style. I threw one old song in there by LJ Kruzer, there was a lot of amazing debut music that came out in the period after CD’s stopped selling well in the mid 2000’s and before the internet could be considered a legitimate income stream. I don’t think some of these artists ever got their due and a foothold for a lengthy career, so I wanted to shine a light on an old track too. Enjoy!" ~ James Heather

As a child in Southampton, Heather’s Grandad taught him composition and how to manipulate the tuning of piano strings, whilst his Granny on the other side used to dabble in improvisations. Heather started to make his own music from the age of 11 inspired by a love of Beethoven, Debussy and his older neighbours Acid House pirate radio station which he listened to from the garden. Heather spent many years honing his solo piano composition style before feeling ready to record and release his own music, taking influence from electronic music's structure, ambience and melody and combining it with a grounding in classical and jazz. 

He now releases music on Ninja Tune founders Coldcut’s Ahead Of Our Time label. First came Modulations: EP 1, 7 tracks written in various head spaces. Next came his debut album Stories From Far Away On Piano, a more unified conceptual piece of work. The album concept centred on Heathers interpretations of real world news stories from 9 locations. Heather has collaborated and been remixed by names including Dawn Richard, Mumdance, Iskra Strings, DJ Seinfeld, Sarah Davachi and Roger Robinson (King Midas Sound), played on bills with the likes of Laura Marling, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Lubomyr Melnyk and performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Wilderness.

James Heather - 504 - Electronic Explorations

"Home Normal is a remarkable label curated by a remarkable man. Ian Hawgood’s contribution to the minimal music scene over the past decade is hard to overstate. When invited to compile a mix to celebrate the label’s 10th anniversary I took it as a rare opportunity to submerge myself in this deep and varied catalogue. What I present here, upon resurfacing, is naturally far from a complete overview, better thought of as a few personal highlights from a significant assembly of artists and aesthetics that have collectively re-shaped our understanding of what minimal music can be." -– James Murray

James Murray - No Ordinary Home

Sometimes, an album comes along which blows everything else out of the water. Then, you learn it’s the artist’s very first release in this particular style. And then, that little tingly feeling you get from discovering a new favourite artist creeps up your back at you sit clasping your headphones with eyes wide open, in anticipation for the next track, for more, and more.

This sounds pretty dramatic, but this is exactly how I felt when I first heard Roger Martinez’s self-titled production as Horizontal Excursions. The electronic DJ/Producer from the Netherlands had well and truly grabbed my attention under his new moniker and his album, was easily one of the best releases of 2011.

Two years later, Roger has revisited his Horizontal Excursions ambient guise, taken a trip into nature’s beating heart and pulled off another absolutely beautiful piece of work that ambient enthusiasts like me, simply fall for again and again.

-

The wilderness stirs something primal and unfathomable in us all. We become overwhelmed, awestruck, even emboldened, by these untamed frontiers, content to revel in the unspoiled beauty or compelled to explore what lies within. For some, it’s a cold, harsh reality; an unforgiving tundra of survival and subsistence. But, when afforded the indulgence, this isolation is the purest of them all.

“There aren’t many places left in Western Europe where you can still immerse yourself in pure wilderness” Roger begins, “in fact, the only environment where I have truly experienced this is in certain parts of Switzerland. My latest trip to Zermatt, located in the canton of Valais, has greatly shaped the music in this symphony and I was reminded that all of nature is something that should be respected and revered.”

A regular traveller through the country, Roger’s willingness to lose himself (in every sense of the word) in the abundance of natural beauty heralded Symphonica Helvetica – an untainted journey through the mysticism of the Alps, velveteen swoop of Swiss valleys, and the siren-song of nature.

“Away from the large cities of Zürich and Basel, you enter into a totally different kind of environment,” he states. “For me mountainous areas epitomize something indescribable, something sacred. I lose sense of identity and, sometimes literally, become lost in the landscape around me.

Inspired by the power of his surroundings, Symphonica Helvetica crystallizes those moments, and Roger captures, and softens, the endeavour of trekking through the terrain. A symphonic soundtrack that casts a heavy ambient blanket, there’s a sense of uphill resistance as the summit nears; the enormity of casting an infinite gaze for miles; the deep, contented inhale as you survey the forest canopy thousands of feet below and feel, for that moment, like it’s all you.

“In these places you really see nature at work: sculpting, flowing and grinding through the mountains,” Roger explains. “The fruits of my past trips through the mountains of Switzerland have amalgamated into the symphony that I present to you here. This is the musical translation of the visions and experiences I had standing on the edge of mountain cliffs, overlooking valleys, walking through snow-clad forests, enchanted by mountain tops in full view. These are the shamanic songs of Mother Nature still at reign in her grand domain: a living myth put into sound pressure waves.”
