Laika Sounds Podcast // 033 / Christopher James

The Kármán Line is the boundary between the earths atmosphere and space. This mix was recorded with the idea of existing in that space between what we know & feel and what we dream of.

The Kármán Line

Here is the live recording of my set opening for Gab Rhome in Denver on November 20th, 2015.  Thanks to Seifhaus, Hailands, Gab Rhome and all the people that came out and made the night absolutely fantastic!! 

Christopher James - Hailands - Nov. 20, 2015

A melancholic, hazy drive through the mind. This mix is a patient journey down a road with no ending, it started as a simple mix and just developed as I was playing. It took me for a ride while recording it and I hope it does the same for those of you who listen to it:)

Ceiling Zero

My new mix "Embracing The Void" tapped into my memories of listening to a new cd or mix while in the dark. I would create an atmosphere (candles, lighting, speaker placement etc) and then get lost in the sounds and drift away to wherever the mix took me. That feeling of letting go and allowing the music to paint a picture in your mind without any outside distractions.  

Embracing  the Void and letting your mind wander.

These mixes and why I play music is because I love sharing what I do, what I have to say. I always strive to make mixes that will stand the test of time and can be listened to over and over again. 
I hope you enjoy listening and that this mix paints a picture for you:-)

Trips ~w~ Solara, Vol. XVI: Sun & Stars

See What I Hear, Hear What I See....

This mix recorded in Feruaray 2013 was done late at night with a bottle of wine and the desire to tell a story.  This is(as all of my mixes are) a live DJ mix, done without the aid of controllers, laptops, sync etc.  This is simply my mind poured out through music to create a mix that accurately describes...me (at that point in time).  There are mistakes and places that i could have fine tuned or improved post recording but i chose to leave the reality of who i am in the mix, besides...the human element and feeling sounds better to me anyway.  

Enjoy:-)
