The Big Chill was produced with the most chill person I know- @Koresma. I met him through twitter after listening to his hit song "Bridges" on Spotify. I wanted this song to depict the feeling of meeting new friends and socializing. Penguins are pretty chill.

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Piper Street Sound, aka Matt Mansfield of Atlanta, Ga, returns with Barrier Island. Dedicated to the imperiled Cumberland Island, this work reflects Mansfield's deep love for Georgia's wild places and the inspiration found there.  

This is music for runs through foggy dawns. Four instrumental pieces of nuanced electronic production afloat within a cloud of Dub effects and natural soundscapes. Sonic suggestions of water, birds, and insects feature throughout, culminating in the end piece ‘al·lu·vi·al’, an exploration into dripping rhythms and splashes of Dub-infused spring reverb.  Piper Street's stock-and-trade multi-layered mechanical tapestry approach is here woven with acoustic instruments and hand played percussion. Mansfield’s last few works had a dizzying effect while Barrier Island shows the producer in a more intimate, personal light. Where once were strident flourishes, now are found slowly-dawning epiphanies. Dark themes that on earlier work seemed ominous, here are more plaintive. This is an EP of quiet beauty, tinged with an urgent plea for ecological balance. 

Cumberland Island, the inspiration for this EP, is one of the last undeveloped barrier islands on the East Coast. Once owned in turns by the Spanish military, plantation-based agricultural concerns, and Gilded Age robber barons, the bulk of the island was gifted in perpetuity to the National Parks Department to remain a wild, undeveloped National Seashore in 1972. Cumberland Island is at the time of this writing in danger of being carved up and developed. Disruption of the aquatic and avian species and their food sources that season on and around Cumberland Island would have disastrous effects on a global scale.

I've always made edits to play in my DJ sets and mixtapes, I thought I'd share this one of my favorite soft rock song. 
Enjoy your summer,

Alessi Brothers - Seabird (Zimmer Edit)

Ahead of my gig at the Jazz Cafe, I thought i'd make Mother Theresa available as a free download until 25th August. Recorded in Havana, Cuba 2015 and released as part of the Highlife World Series pt 1  :)

"The highlight for us is Auntie Flo’s ‘Mother Theresa’, a lazy track with a free-flowing melody. Subdued compared to the others on the EP, the smoky jazz influence is unexpected, with a wandering trumpet introducing itself halfway through. As the track’s soft pads and percussive textures build, you’re caught up in the spiralling solo and the track’s brassy crescendo."

Live out your dreams or there will be a part of you that you will never see blossom. We live too close to being disconnected.

Disconnected

In the third installment of a monthly series, going by the name CASTANEA, Rising Appalachia’s David Brown releases a remix of the band’s song “Synchronicity.” Maintaining the downtempo, head nod vibe of “Novels” and “Zavey,” Brown reached a bit further back into his own roots for this one. Here's what he had to say about the track:
 
“Towards the end of my teens and early twenties, I was in a very urban phase of life – skateboarding, scratching records, taking trips from the mountains where I grew up into the urban landscapes of NYC, ATL, and Baltimore. Nearly everything about the hip-hop and street skate culture I sought out, and was subsequently shaped by. I feel lucky, looking back now, to have been around for that era, before copyright almost crushed hip-hop and before skating became so sanitized.” 
 
“My setup was pretty classic... I had this hooked-on-phonics style headset for my monitors and microphone that I ‘borrowed’ from my high school and I recorded mixtapes with two turntables onto my first computer’s sandwich sized hard-drive. Recently I pulled all my samples off of it, and was able to incorporate some of them into the remix of Synchronicity.”
 
“I was introduced to the concept of synchronicity around that time, too. It’s a long story but by lucky accident I found a booked called “Synchronicity: Science, Myth and Trickster” and it was one of the best windfalls of my life, a missing puzzle piece that really helped guide me. I came to see those things – the chance encounters, the dreams getting reflected in waking life, the amazing coincidences – as signals from a deep, wild and mysterious force in our world. As the classic sample which I scratch says, I love it.”
 
“Musically, I wanted to see what it would sound like to shift the rhythm of the song, and then apply the textures of the 90s hip-hop era to it – the kalimba, the upright bass, the scratching. I’m thinking that next month I’ll work on another Rising Appalachia track from the Wider Circles LP, and then start spinning the RA vinyl that’s about to drop, “ALIVE!”

Space Bubbles is taken from DJ Brace's album, Apatheia

There are certain things that, when held too close, distort our perspective. Emotions and ego can clutter the mind’s eye. Apatheia, which should not be confused with apathy, involves moving these things to a safe distance. This is not about a loss of feeling or disengaging with the world. The goal is to gain understanding through a disentangling from the chaos that litters the landscape. Unfettered, unburdened, and unobstructed… we can experience freedom of the soul and see the way forward with absolute clarity. Immerse yourself in the music and allow it to rinse away the distractions that have been preventing you from experiencing your own Apatheia

Order 'Blurred' on LP/DL: phonofile.link/blurred

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.

Mind on Fire (Franz Matthews Remix) [Extended] - Single

Aisha Badru - Mind on Fire (Franz Matthews Remix) [Extended]

This special re-recording was captured in 'The Compound', his studio in his hometown of Fremantle Western Australia in February 2012. Having performed the track to a worldwide audience over the past 12 years, 'Ocean' is today available FREE as an MP3, grab your copy here.

"OCEAN is a very interesting aspect of my life. It is part of my DNA. It conveys all things I can't put into words.
Life, loss, love, spirit. As I evolve so too does 'Ocean'. The song was first recorded as part of my first album/cassette,
"Searching For Heritage", which I sold when I busked, then for my first self-titled studio album 12 years ago -- "John Butler (1998)".
The song has been watched online incredibly over 25 million times in various formats, nearly always live, be it from MusicMax Sessions or from one of the many festivals I have had the pleasure to play. I'd like to thank you for your continued support over all these years; it means so much to me. I would like to thank you by offering this first studio recording of 'Ocean' in over a decade as a free download.
I recorded it in my favourite studio, The Compound here in Fremantle Western Australia, a studio you helped me build.
This marks just another fleeting moment in a career that is very much ongoing.
I look forward to bringing you many new songs and albums into the future and continuing this amazing journey with you ALL.
THANK YOU,
J.B"
