Originally created during COVID but still actively being added to, this is a playlist of favorite ambient/downtempo/whatever mixes that I've been using to set my mood right. Heavy on the petting, light on darkness and dance beats.

Lightning & Thunder - Deady (Ishfaq's Redlight Remix)

This recording is from the final morning of The Labyrinth 2022, Monday October 10, at Hodaigi Campground, Gunma, Japan.

Hiyoshi opened at 9:00 a.m., and then John Elliott followed with a one-hour Imaginary Softwoods live set. Instead of presenting these as two different sets, we are sharing as a single recording to represent the morning as it actually transpired, and as it was intended.

This is for all of you who could not join us last year, and all of you who were still recovering from the night before and didn't make it to the floor in time to catch these beautiful, peaceful hours.

As always from Mindgames, this recording is high-fidelity, high-resolution sound. Please enjoy.

この音源は、昨年のLabyrinthの最終日、10月10日(月)の朝、群馬県の宝台樹キャンプ場で録音された。

午前9時にHiyoshiがオープニングを飾り、John ElliottがImaginary Softwoodsとして1時間のライブセットを披露したが、この2つのセットを別々に紹介するのではなく、ひとつのセットとして共有することで、意図した通りの素晴らしい朝の流れを感じてもらいたい。

昨年参加できなかった皆さん、参加したにも関わらず、前夜のダメージからの回復が間に合わずにこの美しく平和な時間を体験できなかったみなさんも是非。

また、通常通りではあるが、Mindgamesの音源はHi-Fi、ハイレゾ音源で提供している。

The Labyrinth 2022 - Hiyoshi dj set & Imaginary Softwoods live

We start the year off with a smooth winter jazz-funk mix by San Francisco's Infinite Jess @infinitejess. 

Here's a few words from her:
This Jazz Funk mix is meant for mid-Winter moments -- when we’ve settled into the hibernation, magic hours extend, and the white skies help make the world look new and still.

Infinite Jess is a Bay Area DJ based in SF. With a lifelong love of record digging and dance music, she brings a moody range and a deep knowledge to the decks— from euphoric daytime moments to red-light-sweatbox vibes, to thoughtful journeys primed for the diggers.

Pariah presents Voam - 09 January 2025

A special liquidtime set from one of my Favs @napmusick live and direct from liquidtime kwia :) 

𝙡𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 #13 ft NAP: lava mística @refugeworldwide (LIVE)

Recorded Saturday December 14 2024 @ Planetarium. Lineup also included 7038634357 and Justin Carter. Thank you Justin for the invite :) 

This set was inspired by this James Baldwin excerpt:
 
You go through your life for a long time. You think that no one has ever suffered the way I've suffered… 

And then you realize that your suffering does not isolate you.  That your suffering is your bridge. That many people have suffered before you, many people are suffering around you. And always will. 

And all you can do is bring hopefully a little light into that suffering, enough light to the person who is suffering so that they can begin to comprehend,  begin to live with it and begin to change it, to change his situation
 
Full clip here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVmn6l13Sx0&ab_channel=JNoCapMac 

Hope for anyone who listens, it brings light to your day :)

Early support from:

LEFTO: Worldwide FM / Studio Brussels

James Rudie : Good Fry Up
“I can’t tell if James was influenced by the Dilla or Sa-Ra Creative Partners sound of the late 90s or early 2000s but there are similar elements in that tune; the rhodes, the slightly off beat or not quantized drums and the allround crispy sound… James’ tune is maybe what these guys would be making these days if they were up to making house music dancefloor killers…” LEFTO

IG CULTURE : CoOp Presents / Selectors Assemble / Worldwide FM / Rinse FM

Body Music Vol 1 :

“Hot Music coming out of East, the new home of London Bruk beats. This debut is full of dope sounds from fresh artists. Ya’ll need this one! Keep an eye on this up and coming label” IG CULTURE`

ALEX ATTIAS : Vision recordings

Body Music Vol 1 :
"This EP is full of dope jams for the dance and for the mind. These are essential deep, funky and raw broken tunes, thanks guys!" ALEX ATTIAS

JEREMY SYLVESTER : Urban Dubz / Nice n Ripe
"Every Tune is Fiyah!"

STUART PATTERSON : Love Vinyl 
"The broken resurgence continues apace with this ace EP merging many styles, pick for me is Trev.
