MIXED BY Synkro

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. 
https://soundcloud.com/phaeleh

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

Solitude - Vol.19

For download, tracklist & more info on this/other Upfront mixes head here >> http://boilerroom.tv/upfront/004-synkro/

The fourth in a new, audio-only mix series.

"This mix basically represents my journey so far with a lot of exclusive material in there from myself and a few close friends (Bering Strait, Seers & Djrum). Some of my new tracks take elements from previous work, and others are completely new ideas that I have only recently finished. It's been great fun putting the mix together and it kind of feels like a mini album in some ways." - Synkro

Upfront 004: Synkro

Following on from Catching Flies, the i-D Slumber Session series continues in the finest of style. No stranger to crafting sounds of the highest quality with the most spectacular of soundscapes, Synkro has released on the likes of Exit Records, Brownswood and Med School to name but a few, recently finding himself a new home at R&S sister label, Apollo. In our eyes, the man is legendary and we couldn't be happier to have him deliver something for our Slumber Session series that is utterly, well, beautiful. Seamlessly drifting through ambient climes, we welcome the sound of Synkro into the i-D mix.

Microfunk Podcast Episode 8 Hosted by Bop, Nuage and Dissident

The second episode of Ampere Archives comes from the skilled hands of Joe "Synkro" Mcbride, the ginger glass wearing producer from Manchester. Since he found a new home at Apollo, sub-label of the iconic Belgian R&S Records, it was no surprise to find him on the bill of the R&S 'In Order To Dance' Weekender in December last year. Through atmospheric melodies and heady bass lines he created an easy but moody listening, illustrating influences from a wide spectrum of bass culture and electronica by decorating his story with inventive and touching soundscapes.  The overwhelming layers of lugubrious synths flowing over edgy beats and miniature voices like waves, leave you behind a little woozy. Perfect for some afternoon relaxing or to wind down an endless afterparty.

Recorded live during the R&S Records 'In Order To Dance' Weekender on 12.12.2015.

Kiyoko - Finest Ego | Monthly Mix #017

It gives us great pleasure to put out our 28th mix by a truly unique musical force in today's electronic landscape. 

Hailing from Manchester, Joe Synkro's talent for creating elaborate, emotive & intellectual soundscapes over any chosen tempo is second to none. Launching his musical career within the dubstep/2-step framework, he has gone on to contort his powerful gift with melody and arrangement to take in almost every electronic musical sub genre. With releases on the likes of Exit Records, Autonomic, Critical Music and the legendary R&S offshoot Apollo Records, Synkro has been carving himself out a niche on the very fabric of electronic music.

This ice-cool mix is one of the deepest, most meditative, thoughtful, and of course bass-driven mixes we’ve ever heard! Catch Synkro alongside Marcus Intalex, dBridge and SP:MC on the Soul:ution showcase at Echo Festival this June.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Echo Festival 2013, 6-9th June. Kanegra, Croatia.

Echo is an intimate festival showcasing some of the best names and emerging talents in electronic music, all set against the elegant landscape of the Adriatic coast of Croatia.
