I struggled a fair amount with this mix as I tried to top what I put out in May (sounds like the same ol' story every month)...I must have cut, rearranged, and changed directions on this mix a half-dozen times. I'm moderately satisfied with this one, but slightly frustrated because it's not better than the last...Either way, there are still some nice tunes here.

I describe the first section as a combination of seductive, dreary, hints of fluffy, and dreamy feelings...I imagine myself driving around the hills of San Francisco (perhaps with a nice girl) on a foggy morning around 7am after a long night of partying at the compound. Appropriately enough, the beautiful track "I never sleep to sleep (James Taylor and Swayzak sleepy edit)" comes in at 9 min.

I'm not really sure how to describe the the middle feeling as things get a little wacky, k'd out, yet still pretty with that female "la la la ing" track around 19:00 (Dixie Yure - Tecnomascope)...After that, I strip down the sound and just groove for about 20 minutes. I considered staying dreamy for the entire hour, but instead gave into my ADD and changed styles...

The end of the mix we get melodic again and round it out back to where we started with a beautiful dreamy foggy track by Skinnerbox, "Purgatory"...


atish - [015] - june 2011 - circles

Atish plays from the soul with a smile on his face. His charm flows as freely as his grooves, and his infectious personality is poured into every performance. The links he makes are not just musical but personal, too, as he communicates the highs and lows of life through his sounds. As an unmistakably warm person, he has quickly built up a dedicated fan base that feeds off his passion and energy. The Atish experience is about more than just dancing - it's about connection.

There is an intimacy and elegance to the music Atish plays whether it's deep house, Romanian minimal, artful techno, or emotive progressive house. Melody unites it all - whimsical keys and curious synth patterns that stir a wide range of emotions and get lodged deep in the memory. For Atish, the challenge is to lead an audience into unexpected new worlds: they won't know how they got there but will be delighted when they arrive. It's a subtle skill he has mastered
while never taking himself too seriously.

His own productions have come on cultured labels like Anjunadeep, Satya, and Stil Vor Talent. The Manjumasi Music label he co-founded with Mark Slee in 2016 deals in house with real heart and musicality. The aim is simply to work with artists whose music they admire; to give a leg up to those who deserve it, then watch them grow, whether with his label or elsewhere.

He is similarly open-minded and candid on social media and recently wrote some software to analyze a year's worth of playlists before discussing the results. He's also keen to demystify the often shadowy and secretive world of DJing and production and open it up to all, which is why he started his own unique party series, Late Night Tonite. Each event started with a sit-down interview with the guest and a conversation about the creative arts before the dancing began.
That now dormant concept led Atish to start his own mentorship program during the Covid lockdowns. He continues it to this day, with students enjoying one-on-one coaching, feedback, and advice sessions in which he shares what he has learned about all aspects of the industry.

In truth, this career chose him rather than the other way around: as a long-time and obsessive music collector, he was happy enough to play on the side around his software engineering day job. But he was making such a mark on the parties he played that word got out and the bookings kept on coming. He decided to throw himself into music rather than live to regret the missed opportunity and hasn't looked back since.

Atish has forged his own path and proven that DJs need not hide behind the music. Instead, Atish is right there to share the moments with you.
