So only a few more days left to this year, but, more importantly, a few more days before I announce my Best of 2021 lists, but before we wave another year farewell, I've got something very special to share with you. In fact, this is a celebration of two years, to be more precise - two years of releases from the amazing LAAPS imprint. The label was created by Mathias Van Eecloo as a permanent sonic and visual continuity, with each release starting with the end of the previous one. And now, two years, four seasons, and 16 releases later, we've got this gorgeous 60-minute mix showcasing each one... turning into what I may bluntly proclaim to be an exclusive compilation just for Headphone Commute! And this is just the beginning! A little birdie told me that the series will extend to exactly 100 releases, running for 12 years straight! But enough words, let's turn towards all this gorgeous music!

Bio

Flying together in memory of humid foliage, through errant murmurs amongst epitaphs forgotten, is essentially the ecosystem RJ has designed for this Spa session. He collages sounds recorded during his everyday life and experiences with sensitively, binding the rumblings with the tendrils and the shimmers with the warbles. With pleasure, we present one of Hypnotic Spa's most devoted participants. Blessings for the space grown from this recording.

Markus Trige Frandsen AKA Respira is one of the co-founders of Nature Tales and a resident musician of The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen. For the past 2 years his creative work has mainly been centered around music performance for yoga and meditation. Creating soundscapes of free form and fluidity, exploring texture and depth and playing with the contrasts and similarities of organic and electronic sound, he aims towards union and coherence between nature and technology.

“Since being invited to participate in the multi-sensory installation The Vesica Project one year ago, I’ve had the honor to work with sound and vibroacoustic technology together. In this case meaning a floor turned into a subsonic speaker, vibrating the body of the listener lying on it, creating a physical dimension of the music which can be an extremely relaxing, sleep inducing and even pain-relieving experience.

In May, Nature Tales opened up The Vibroacoustic Studio in Copenhagen and the exploration of this fusion of art and technology is now going strong, with weekly sessions of sound-massage, movement, yoga and concerts.

This is the first of two short sets I played for our introduction sessions for Vibroacoustic Sound Massage on the 5th of July 2020 - an improvised journey combining deep synthetic atmospheres, traditional acoustic sound-healing elements and field recordings”

Multi-instrumentalist composer and producer Drexler curates an eclectic Contemplative Mix for us featuring stunning tracks from the likes of Roomful Of Teeth, Nicholas Britell,  Rival Consoles, John Hopkins, Vessel, Nils Frahm to BPMoore and much more.

About The Mix:
"This mix contains a collection of pieces by artists from all over the world, from my hometown Australia to Mongolia to Iceland. I wanted to acknowledge pioneers like Sigur Ros and Nils Frahm in the ambient/modern classical world that have influenced me in the past as well as emerging acts like Alistair Sung and BPMoore that inspire me today. As a composer for film/TV/advertising, I also wanted to share artists I've discovered through movies and TV such as Nicholas Britell, Colin Stetson, Roomful of Teeth. Hearing Roomful of Teeth live at St Giles Church (Barbican) in 2018 was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I even discovered the track by Vessel through the movie trailer for the Korean film, The Handmaiden. Thanks for inviting me to create this mix."
