Surmayee Akhiyon Mein (Unwind Instrumental)

The end of 2024 draws to a close and I offer up the seventh version of my yearly mixtape.  It is a pleasure to do these mixes each year and I never really know where they will end up but centred around pieces of music that I picked up over the year, that caught my ear (tracklist below).

This time it leans towards a lot of my own edits made especially for the mix, a few yet-to-released remixes and beautiful music from all over the world. I think there is definitely a focus more on precious, moving music and less towards the dancefloor. Hard to explain why, I tend not to overthink these mixtapes. 

To give you a bit of a look behind the curtain I painstakingly craft each of these mixtapes using Ableton, treating it more like an extended production than just two tracks mixed together. I end up with a sprawling mix of tracks, acapellas, synths, samples and founds sounds. A kind of patchwork of sound. Though only 21 pieces of music this session somehow grew to 162 different racks, from cumbia rhythms to kicks to take a track into a new place.
