Dub, bass, chill

In 2010, members of a Riga-based DJ- and promo-crew DABA.INFO started a radio show on the local Radio Naba (retranslated over the net via www.naba.lv). The show is called "Rasols" (which is the name of the popular Latvian salad, thus reflecting the mixture of styles, moods and tastes of us radio hosts - http://soundcloud.com/djarno, http://soundcloud.com/bombey, https://soundcloud.com/contour (as a DJ duo, known as http://soundcloud.com/homeradio), http://soundcloud.com/marimana and myself). The show used to be weekly, every Sunday 17:00 Riga time (EEST, +2 GMT). All shows were archived at http://rasols.official.fm until the account has been closed by Official.FM.

For some time, I was very happy to have my monthly show (normally each one of us used to do one show a month on rotation principle) and generally be part of the Daba crew. In these podcasts I felt myself free to choose any music I love with almost no restrictions, meaning the possibility of stepping out of the dancefloor bizniz and beat-matching routine.

In addition to shows, we did collaborative mixes, called "Rasoļņiks". Rasoļņik (Рассольник) is the name of traditional Russian soup, the recipe of which allows endless combinations of ingredients and possibilities to experiment. Hence, "Rasoļņiks" mixes are impromptu freeform back2back sets done by members of the Rasols in various combinations. Complete archive of the series: http://mixcloud.com/rasolniks.

Top Rankin - Ed Solo & Deekline ft. Gala Orsborn - Clip

Mix made for the Rasols show on Radio Naba (www.naba.lv). This selection concentrates on the Genre, Currently Known as Chillwave (aka Glo-Fi), overcompressed beats, sweetly odd songs, 80s nostalgia from 2010s perspective, and a bit of post-garrige. I would especially like to put your attention on amazing label Hippos In Tanks, with Laurel Halo, Games (=now Ford &amp; Lopatin) and d'Eon being my stars ATM. And, special apperance by my man Dauwd with fantastic track Ikopol, soon to be released on Pictures Music - check him out, in my opinion he's a rising star worth every bit of attention currently paid to overhyped Joy O.

GhostlyCast #43: Mark E - Stone Wall Mix

As the title says, it's all about the piano: my favorite solo piano pieces from recent years. There are days (and nights) when I can only listen to the sounds of 88 black and white keys, and sometimes I feel that these sounds get so deep under my skin that I can repeat after Peter Broderick: "I am piano". 

P.S. As you see, this clip is just a teaser. Soundcloud didn't let me upload the mix because of one particular track included, so in order to listen to the mix please <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/snobo/snobos-pianotheque-88-shades-of-black-and-white/">go to Mixcloud</a>, where you can also find the complete tracklist. Or - better yet - download the high-quality MP3 or FLAC from the link below.

Pianotheque teaser (download here, listen on Mixcloud)

Recording of my set @ Skaņu Mežs (Sound Forest), the headquarters of the annual festival of untamed music of the same name in Riga, Latvia, on 2011.05.06. It fits publishing it this nice sunny day, 21st of May 2011, on a good occasion of The Judgement Day, according to this guy Harold Camping. Why? Listen till the end to find the answer :)

I was in a retrospective mood, so quite a few old favorites from different eras, but on the other hand there's a lot of brand new material as well.

Absolutely Nothing Happened

A wicked sequence of circumstances recently made me, all of a sudden, review my semi-abandoned collection of deep minimal drum'n'bass tunes and after a long break check if I still remember how to beatmatch and work the woofers. Thanks to that occasion I recorded my first ever full-on 170bpm mix. Surprise surprise. 

The artwork is based on a painting by Larisa Shellar, a unique and breathtakingly amazing underground artist from Riga, whose works I have fallen in love with.

The mix features the following artists: Om Unit, Sam KDC, Genotype, Anile, Synkro, ASC, QNS, Frederic Robinson, Sabre, Kid Drama, Machinedrum, Naibu, Fracture, and a special guest appearance by Jóhann Jóhannsson. For complete tracklist <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/snobo/clockwork-knowledge/">check the Mixcloud</a>.

Clockwork Knowledge

An electroacoustic journey on the waterways of dreams. A beatless lullaby for the life-beaten souls. A soundescape from the city to the fields and recordings of those. An aural watercolour painting.

This is a redux studio version of the mix I played @ Watercolours open-air festival in Riga on 06.09.2014, and which was banned by Soundcloud for copyright reasons and available on Mixcloud only. 
   
Still, I kept thinking of finding a way to put it on Soundcloud, but a straightforward edit wasn't an option because taking the suppressed track out would ruin the dramaturgy of the mix; and actually, I was already considering reshaping the live take into a more refined studio version. So here it is: meticulously (re)constructed, multi-layered assemblage that still takes cues from momentary impulses of a live performance. I think it's one of the cases when an obstacle forces you to improve and achieve even better results than you originally were aiming for.

Zak Damundo - Collective: A Hip Hop Instrumental Mix

Existentially, this mix is a meditation on mortality, a fear of death (own and dear ones) and simultaneously a latent desire to shortcut the earthly path. A kind of aural Maranasati, just prettier and less scary, or a reading from Seneca’s letters, but non-verbal and less moralizing. Kicking off with the sound of clay burial urns captured by Simon Whetham, it is centered around Sufjan Stevens’ lament to his late mother, which opens the gates of an "afterlife" that begins with a narrative from a Russian animation about seeing ﻿[﻿signs and﻿]﻿ wonders in mundanity and finding a waltz pattern in flashing street lights, followed by a limbo of Melanie De Biasio’s consolation to her own mother, and rounded off by a succession of heavenly piano music dissolving in the sounds of Latvian nature.

We are all fireflies, waltzing our way between two eternities. Do you know how to waltz?

One step further, one I love ® 2011.XI

An eclectic, complex, multi-layered mix hopping from genre to genre and tempo to tempo, while retaining an abstractly psychedelic and solemn mood. An opus magnum of sorts. Mixed live with Traktor virtually in one take with minimal post-production on FX/EQ, so took me a while to rehearse, in order to get all layers and transitions done the way I wanted (26 tracks in 1 hour) - so this is not a careful and punctual Ableton/Mixmeister construction...

My sincere recommendation to those who care to check this one out - I humbly suggest listening to it in one sitting, and preferably not as a background music, but rather while paying attention. It was conceived and played with an idea of dramatic development in mind, really as a kind of a trip... Plus all these details and layers... It's neither a dance mix nor a chill-out relaxation session, rather an integral piece that - hopefully - tells a story and is "more than sum of its parts", if you know what I'm sayin'...

Shouts go to @discrepant for the inspiration on doing this one. And to soundcloud.com/macka for forging the most creative and out-of-this-world dubstep variations I ever heard (not speaking of his works in other genres), that blew my mind so bad that I included 3 tracks from his free Images EP & album (http://amenorea.c8.com/mp3/index.php), which kinda creates one of the axes of the mix.

After a long break - fresh cross-genre mix of odds and ends, featuring new and old material - favorites both longstanding and more recent, with a total disregard for genre boundaries (but with much respect to integrity of musical fabric). Hope you like it.

I can hear the sound of thunder
I can feel the smell of rain
I know my world is torn apart and you
Are standing small now

I will pack my dreams and leave now
I will wait for you no more
I know tonight I've had enough cause you

Now you've lost the game
Now you've lost the game
But you've lost the game

I must breathe clean air without you
I must start a brand new life
I know I've been in love this time but you...

Now you've lost the game
(You could be here)
The game
(You could be in my arms now)
Now you've lost the game
(You could be in my arms)
But you've lost the game

You could be here
But you've lost the game

You could be here now
You could be in my arms tonight

You could be here
You could be here now

But you've lost the game...

Christos Stylianou & Ganga feat. Irene Zerva - The Game

So, this is my official end-of-the-year roundup mix. More or less a "best of" selection, although of course a lot of stuff didn't make it, especially from the isolationist/ambient or folk/singer-songwriter realms - it just didn't fit the mood of the mix and, more importantly, I actually prefer that kind of stuff unmixed. Also, I can confess and admit that this year I stopped following certain scenes or radically decreased attention paid to new artists, releases and labels. Yes, an oversaturation/information overdose thing, exactly. In fact, I've been listening to less music than before - instead I started reading again after long break... call me old fashioned ;) Anyway... Still, when compiling this mixtape, I reminisced back and I can just say - what a great year it was! Wasn't it? :)
