October's mix seems to have just emerged with some kind of focus on form. To my ear, the tracks in here all have a bit of structure to them, something slightly angular. There is a geometry to these grooves, they feel like a sturdy frame against which a fabric of texture and melody can wave and morph.

Silhouette: In Form

Mark Slee - Silhouette: In Form [October 2021]

I was slightly amazed to realize that it has now been ten years since my first Slinky mix - how time flies! And yet, time also stretches. That is what this mix series is all about, pulling the tempo fader a bit further down than usual, giving the grooves some extra space, a longer moment between the beats to let things breathe in a new way.

Slinky XII: Erosion

Mark Slee - Slinky XII: Erosion [November 2021]

Berlin based DJ and producer Powel is the author of stellar remixes and productions of incredible musicality. His signature rhythms, percussion work and captivating atmospheres have the amazing ability to take you into the depth of aural pleasure.
Words from the artist: 
I usually don't have much to say about my mixes and this time is no different. It's music from the softer spectrum of electronic dance music (I hate that this term is usually used to describe a very specific genre)recorded on a rainy midweek afternoon. I think it'll speak for itself if you allow it to do so.

A bit of a storytelling vibe in March's episode, with a slightly broader-than-usual mix of different rhythms and styles. This one opens with some really breathtaking new mellow breakbeat material from Tibi Dabo, then works through some deep and melodic grooves. A bit of dub techno influence gets sprinkled on top, before things finally round out on a downtempo, almost indie-electro vocal vibe. Hope you all enjoy this little adventure.

Powel b2b Christian Voldstad @ NEVER SLEEP AGAIN | Burning Man 2019

It's been about a year, the time felt right to make another Slinky mix. For those unfamiliar, this is a series of mixes I do occasionally, where tracks are intentionally stretched and slowed down. Transitions and overlaps are purposefully drawn out, the way these tracks slowly wind together becomes a point of focus, as opposed to an invisible, smooth transition. This mix evokes the passage of time, which has needless to say felt quite strange this year. Grains of sand in constant motion, always shifting and blowing, yielding a detailed pattern that just seems to repeat, and repeat, and repeat...

(17:56) ICS - Posasu [Take Away, 2020]
(23:53) Manqo - Won't Change (Rampa Retouch) [VOD, 2020]
(30:24) Shadowdrum - Play Me [Mountain People, 2020]
