Chilled / non-techno mixes

Lots of my fave new ambient albums that are getting me through life use the sound of organs - whether it's simulated or not, there's something relaxing about organs, church, hammond, mouth, accordion, I drew the line at harpsichord cos that is a whole other level of beauty. This is some new and old shit that makes me wanna jump on a room-size set of pipes

Have still been loving lots of ambient music still since it helped through lockdown, one of my fave recent pieces was John Thayer's Listening Sky, a 30-minute long piece with flowing movements through dreamy wurlitzer, found sounds and lush washes of reverb. Lots of sections reminded me of other stuff so fancied padding it out to an hour by weaving some of my other fave chilled tunes, a kinda aural blanket for journeys, also my first beatless mix. RIP Calix...

Gutted to hear of Mimi's passing - Low have been one of those bands that have helped me through thick and thin since getting into them 15-odd years ago. Their 13 albums have an amazing amount of unforgettable songs, and at the centre of it all Mimi is usually the standout. I wanted to select something from each album plus a few other faves and string them together to highlight how much different ground the band has covered while having a consistent identity. One of a kind band and Mimi will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Dream of Summer (shoegaze, dreampop, grunge, post-punk etc)

Got some long journeys coming up (the joys of the Glasgow-London Megabus) and feeling a little bittersweet about the summer coming to an end as well as the prospect of reuniting with some old friends, so felt like putting together some shoegaze tunes to soundtrack it all. Been meaning to do an electronic-leaning shoegaze mix for a while but thought I'd just do a more general, playlist-style sesh where I haven't focussed too heavily on mixing / beat-matching etc, more on placing songs together and keeping a mood going. Lots of classic shoegaze but maybe not people's first picks of songs, plus lots of stuff that might only be borderline (some IDM, dream pop, grunge etc) and lots of my fave new stuff that honors the form, looking to the future.

All the colours of the dark be here - the creatures of the night, what sweet muzak they make!
