James Holden played this ambient / other mix at a Speckle gathering last year.

He will share more like this on Fri 8 Dec 2023 in London. Info–> https://speckle.se/daw

This mix bears nearly three hours of winding explorations as James DJed for a lounge of interlocking bodies: 
–drifters in obscure motion and silent during a non-verbal hour.

There were paper and pens, so people wrote and drew to each other instead of talking. They would also mime, or speak with the body.

For December's event at Limehouse Town Hall, James will bring a fascinating set of ambients for dream or dance.

@syberkid, Inner Child Labour & @specklesound bring further textures on the night.

Spring is barely on the horizon here in Ontario and we’ve been in a strange slushy stasis for the past few weeks. To help focus on warmer days my longtime friend Aaron Levin has put together a melter of a mix featuring 100% Canadian dance music from the past and present. Despite currently residing in Oakland, Aaron is no stranger to Canadian music and spent years at the helm of Weird Canada, a website, archive, and distributor passionately devoted to homegrown Cancon of all stripes. I’m thrilled to have Aaron on the show and his mix has helped shake off the winter doldrums.

Blockletter is a Hamilton-based producer, DJ, and live PA artist who explores the outer edges of sonic patterns. Unbound by genre, his sounds reach far and wide, from electro and breakbeats, to ambient and minimal.

"When Brad from Pick a Piper reached out to have me remix a song from their forthcoming album, I was immediately drawn to Dissonant Hearts. The drums blew me away, and Sophia’s vocals were captivating. The theme of the cognitive dissonance surrounding grief and heartbreak hit close to home too.

To put my own spin on it, I stripped things back a bit, leaving some of the brighter melodies behind in favour of darker textures. I added some weight with an aggressive kick/bass groove and fractured breakbeats, then finished it off by warping the vocals to give them a touch of otherworldly character."
