Founded by sonic architect and explorer Robert Raths aka ghostworker in 2007, Erased Tapes is a truly independent record label that has disrupted the industry and rejuvenated the musical landscape. The London-based label has consistently nurtured genre-defying artists from all around the world without losing its avant-garde ethos.

2015 saw BBC 6 Music radio presenter Mary Anne Hobbs stage an Erased Tapes evening featuring Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the prestigious BBC Prom. It was the fastest selling ticket of the entire season. Shortly after Erased Tapes was awarded Best Small Label 2015 at the AIM Awards.

On February 5th 2017 Erased Tapes opened the doors to its new East London home, marking the 10th anniversary by introducing fans and the public to the new Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.

“Ten years of one of the most important record labels of the last few years“ — Gilles Peterson

"Over the last decade, Robert Raths’ label Erased Tapes has developed a sonic profile perfectly in step with the growing taste for quiet, meditative works on the cusp of ambient and chamber music" — The Independent

“The heart-string-tugging London label that floats gently between 20th century composition and ambient music” — Rolling Stone

A genre-agnostic instrumental mix for creatives, Warm Focus walks the line between mellow & energetic, digital & analog, high & low BPM. Each week I attempt to induce a two-hour state of Flow in the listener: the sense that your work is carrying you along effortlessly like a log in a stream.

These are two-hour-long sets of instrumental music carefully curated as a background for doing creative work. I aim to energize and focus the mind without ever feeling distracting or alienating, and occasionally I pop on the mic from BFF.fm's studios in SF to offer a few words of chillaxed inspiration. Warm, human music weaving between between the background and the foreground.

In practice, music that fits this bill can come from a wide array of genres, but I work hard to make each song in the set feels "of a piece". Some broad-callouts of the kinds of things I would include: electronic (Plaid, Four Tet, Pantha du Prince, Kate Simko), hiphop instrumentals (Dilla, MF Doom, Oddisee, Ta-Ku, RZA), modern composers (David Axelrod, Hauschka, Nicolas Jaar, Philip Glass, Jon Brion)

You can listen live every Wednesday at Noon Pacific Time at http://BFF.fm/shows/warm-focus


I'm mostly just messing around with music production right now. Here's a few of my experiments as I'm learning.

Feedback is always welcome!
