New Mixtape

f there is nobody interested in associating with us, then we should associate with the Dhamma

Like a bird first has to exert itself and later has not, exertion is vitakka, the spreading of wings is vicara.

Ambient

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.

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

Bringing the sound to your slumber this week is none other than Arthur Lang. Lang is the not-so-secret alias of UK-based produced Andrew Halford, who has worked with the likes of Foals as well as appearing alongside Ewan Pearson, Plaid and James Yuill. Before we get carried away with excitement over his forthcoming remix of Foals' Milk & Black Spiders, it's time to wind down. Kick back, Lang style!

"I can't recall my most amazing dream, but I had a pretty good dream on Sunday night. My dad and I built some sort of motorised ancient vessel, then instead of taking it out to sea, we took off and sailed to the moon, trajected by us blowing oxygen into a plastic tube. No idea what inspired this, but earlier that evening I had drank around three glasses of wine brought back from Cliff Richards' vineyard which may have had something to do with it."

04 We Got It

ICESUN had only produced a few songs which they had put on their Soundcloud. That was it for me, there were too few songs which represented their sound, so I just had to latch them onto Ljudkalendern II. For this compilation, they've produced a song, titled "Cold Inside". Listen to it on the 26th of May via Repartiseraren.

Ljudkalendern II: ICESUN - Cold Inside

Fund/preorder here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/alex-kozobolis-weightless#/

Weightless is an EP of intricate original piano compositions by UK artist Alex Kozobolis. With a series of solo releases over the past few years and collaborations with artists such as Lee Chapman, Harry Edwards, and Anna Rose Carter, Weightless represents Alex's unique approach to composition and melody. 

His touch on the piano is light and fluid; moving between dense sustained runs, which evaporate as soon as they are heard, to spaciously plotted notes. Weightless is the sound of weight itself lifting, of the earthly effect of gravity removed and allowing the listener to be suspended within mid-air, uninterrupted by pressures and restrains of the physical world. Coursing with energy, and running to take flight.

Each of the four tracks have been remixed by Siavash Amini, Tom Adams, Trnspt and Hedia, with very different, but cohesive results, expanding the tone of the EP into new areas.  

Weightless will be available on limited clear vinyl, digipack CD and digital editions.
