After Phaeleh's legendary <a href="http://bit.ly/1hKWqmy"> i-DJ mix</a> there was no way we could pass up an opportunity to have him back. This time he takes on the Slumber Session and packs in a tonne of unreleased exclusive material to deliver this beautiful, ethereal soundtrack to help you journey through your dreams. Take time, kick back, zone out and drift off. This one is special.

Read this personal message from the man himself:
"This Slumber Session mix gave me a great opportunity to make a playlist of something I would want to listen to when unwinding, or to just fall asleep to. I wanted it to be able to exist in the background, without focus, whilst at the same time having elements of detail and beauty scattered amongst the layers of sound unravelling as the mix progresses.

In some ways you can think of it as a soundtrack to a dream. There are moments of calm flowing smoothly into more abstract sections. Textures build to go from sparse emotive landscapes to darker, brooding moments of tension. I wanted it to be dynamic, taking in a variety of styles and influences, whilst giving the listener a coherent experience and painting some interesting images in their minds.

It also gave me the chance to put in a lot of unreleased tracks of mine. I make a wide variety of styles outside of my normal output, so it was great to have an outlet for some of that material. There are also a lot of field recordings I've made over the last few years throughout the mix, including some from my travels. The opening section of music features the sounds of walks in Sydney and San Francisco, which at the time was just some subconscious grabbing of sound recordings without any kind of artistic purpose - it just sounded cool at the time. It seemed fitting when I realised where the sounds were from, as the mix would have been the perfect playlist for a lot of my sleep deprived travels.

I ended up getting so involved putting together this mix that there's a lot of live tweaks of outboard reverb and delay units layered on certain tracks to try and get the sense of space I wanted to achieve and give the mix some breathing space. I find that ambient music can be incredibly beautiful and achieve the range of emotions other music can. I hope that you enjoy the musical selection and can immerse yourself in it, even with the emphasis away from the hooks and rhythms of traditional electronic dance music."

Slumber Session: Phaeleh

GRANDPA WOLFE - Panoptes

desert drone [mar x grandpa wolfe]

The sound of dreamland this week comes from a collaborative effort between multi instrumentalist and producer William Yates aka Memotone and Glasgow via Brighton based Soroosh Khavari aka Soosh. The pair have are set to release their atmospheric yet perfectly musical, Memoosh LP on Monday 6th October via Project Mooncircle and now deliver your mid-week lullaby exclusively for i-D. Memtone delivers the first insomnia-battling 31 minutes, followed by a meditative ending courtesy of Soosh. Press play and drift away.

"I have collected a small selection of music which, in my mind, is a perfect tonic to insomnia. There are enough imaginative ideas in the first half of the mix to tire your brain out, walking across the many wonderful and stange landscapes of your inner environment, before slowing lowering you into the deeper, more solidly rooted, sleep enducing tones. However, I feel it would be a shame to actually fall asleep as there is just as much to pay attention too in the latter half of the mix. Maybe to try and stay awake is the real key to falling asleep in this instance." https://soundcloud.com/memotone

"I've put together some of my favourite nocturnal tracks that help me wind down.   Some are mediative, while others are just classics in voice, sound and manipulation! To me anyway!  I hope it will set you all off to sleep nicely, but sometimes its good to stay awake and hear it all!  So up and down and sideways we go.  I promise not to meander too far, solace and comfort will await you but open ears are the best ears! Enjoy!" https://soundcloud.com/soosh

Isolation Dreams

old track but one of my fav tracks. circa.... 2010 

Kyle

This week we delve into the dreamworld of Lost Twin. Making music that flickers between the deeper realms of electronic production with cinematic spectral pads and weighty hip hop-esq beats. Having just dropped his incredible album The Mist, the Spanish producer delves into the mix with a hypnotic blend of dream inducing beats. Drift off.

"To me, the following selection of music could be described as psychedelic, without making distinctions in genres or BPM’s. Some of these songs may be dream-inducing, some of them nightmare-inducing, but they all bring me a certain feeling of unreality, as if they were snapshots of altered landscapes or distorted memories. It can also be thought of as the soundtrack for an initiation to psychonautics. One way or another, it is music that I find deeply enjoyable no matter what altered state you're in."
