MAKOSSA MIX - Music For Hot Summer Days Pt.15

SONIC TREASURE SHOW 
RECORDED 5/7/25

After a good break and deep thought I’ve decided to ressurect on all things Sonic Treasure.
The last 12 months have proved to have been a real difficult time..
I had no energy last autumn to get my ass in gear, juggling work, play and life in general but most importantly, the health of my mammy, and the inevitable passing of her soul to the outer cosmos above which came this February 2025. 
No more pain, but then everyone connected, family friends engulfed in grief. The grief will never leave, you just live with it and adapt to its ways.
I was still active as a collective pushing THE MANIFESTO OF BLISS, with my good brothers David Keenan , David Scott and David Holmes, blessed to be playing in  Belfast with GWR and our good friends Deeply Armed and Escape_ism. Joining forces with McChuills Glasgow / Vashti And Tony Morris and even more recently in Portobello Edinburgh with James Yorkston / Stephen Clarke and Erin Farley and also Ian and Owen from Folklore…playing also in Leeds with Marie Avril and my first visit to the Social in London at the White Rabbit books birthday bash
Many many thanks to all those and more for keeping me occupied through a difficult time 

I feel now is the time to get The Sonic Treasure Show kick started and in doing so I’m welcoming on board collaborative mixes with Nico, Connor, Claire, Haldane and whoever fancies it, ill be keeping the show/ mixes to Soundcloud on the usual link.
Guest mixes will be kept to an hour long, and sticking by the no rules RULE, guests have Carte Blanche
We all have far too much beautiful music that deserves to be out there for yer ears and we have to do that justice by sharing it
Respect always to the artists played and as per usual, the support of the artists is majorly important thru the purchase of their music, which gives them the faith to produce more

STOP THE GENOCIDE

So First up is a little mix from myself, I hope you enjoy.

live dj set at chillits festival 2009

http://boingboing.net/2009/10/20/chillits-2009-mixes.html

(review from boing boing.net)
Chillits is an annual outdoor ambient music festival that takes place in the fall in the redwoods of Willits, California. I've never attended in person, but the DJs post their lovely musical sets online as MP3s and Torrents. This music keeps me calm all year, or tries anyway. I suggest starting with the sounds of DF Tram, but I'm biased. He's my favorite ambient DJ, spinning transgenre mixes inspired by and drawing from electronica, jazz, avant-garde classical, and the history of computer music.
