Lovely, meditative piece. Pulsing rhythm of the bass line suggests urgency, the chords suggest time.

Very intense track in its fantastic simplicity.

The career of musician and producer Fernando Corona aka @murcof is long-running and vastly undefinable, ranging from kosmische synthesis and dubby ambient productions to electroacoustic composition and post-rock. His latest double album The Alias Sessions is a breathtaking record of crushingly beautiful compositions from an artist operating with aspirational vision. It’s a no-brainer then that his exclusive Bleep mix is just as genre-agnostic, acting as a whistle-stop tour of his nearest and dearest (for now, at least). We begin with goth-twinged dream pop from This Mortal Coil, the darkest corners of which bleed into the cinematic electronica of Cyan as we later jump continents with an abundance of global pop -- German synth chart-toppers and Japanese torch songs included.

Good Night Mantra

Soundpaint have just launched sampled guitar plugin called Instant Acoustic. There are a lot of strumming patterns and arp settings, but for this, I concentrated on a solo setting and another solo setting that incorporated some synth sound. The recording took about 10 minutes in total.
As we are experiending some rather windy weather today, I have called the track "Windswept" and included a photo of the beach, taken during lockdown.

Fresh from Stochastic Drift, Barker’s buzzing second album named Bleep Record of the Month alongside an exclusive 12”, Barker sends a mix that really digs deep into the unique sonic methodology he has constructed across his solo career width a suitable breadth for what is also a milestone in the series, Bleep Mix #300.

From Debiasing to Utility to Stochastic Drift, Barker has been reimagining club music without its definitive thump, instead driven by melody and tactile synthesis, and this selection of tracks expands Barker’s soundworld with a host of artists walking a similar path. “For this mix, I picked out some of my favourite uptempo ambient tracks, recorded at home with two decks and a mixer. It’s music I've used in a lot of different contexts, as a DJ and listener, and I hope you enjoy it.”

Though the occasional dancefloor thump makes itself known, such as on Adriana Lopez’ ‘What Lies Behind’, it’s mostly in quaking subs rather than actual four to the floor, providing some ground for this mix’s airy freeform variety to fly over. We have the wooden plunks and seaspray of Afefe Iku’s Kenyan island sound, the wonky gamelan of Tyler Friedman’s maze of bells and chimes, the dense atmosphere of shaker-produced rain and electrical chirps forged deep in the ruins of The Future Sound Of London.

The midsection of this mix contains some magic in particular: the maestro of drumless trance Lorenzo Senni creates motion from pure jagged synth energy on ‘The Power of Failing’, dissolving into the aether of an unreleased Barker track, which further discharges into the kaleidoscopic stutters of Caribou’s ‘Never Come Back’ with jubilant piano chords and vocal clips wrought into a glitchy, swirling maelstrom of Koreless' prickly warmth. Digital Justice’s ‘Theme From It’s All Gone Pearshaped’ follows, a timeless staple for anyone wishing to dabble in melodic motion and synthsmithery, or any DJ set seeking to add some lift without losing momentum, of which this mix is in no short supply.

To mark the release of his new self-titled LP on LUCKYME®, composer and percussionist Eli Keszler shares an exclusive mix for Bleep - a deep and haunting selection of music that mirrors the atmosphere of his latest work. From Vivaldi to Feldman, Stark Reality to Takemitsu, Keszler drifts through baroque, free jazz, minimalism and haunting folk in a dreamlike continuum.

“This mix is an attempt to capture a particular affect — the interplay of bright light and dark corners that’s run through my recent record,” says Keszler. “It’s not about style or era, but about color, mood, and contrast. A kind of emotional zone that lingers between high contrast, beauty and shadow.”

An extension of the Lynchian tension and impressionistic textures found on the new album, this mix reveals some of the DNA behind Keszler’s soundworld - full of sharp turns, ghosted melodies, and flickers of the surreal.
