The next chapter begins…

We are so pleased to welcome one of the most prolific artists in the field of ambient and experimental music. An unstoppable creative force, whose music has deeply inspired us over the years..... Ishq…

A mix composed entirely of his own music, and mostly forthcoming releases, Ishq takes us on a mind-bending journey through unknown environments.

“In the winter months, as darkness falls, I tend to gravitate more towards deeper and immersive music. Often themes based around space, science fiction, the other-worldly, and the imaginary.

I tend to work on a lot of music this time of year that’s more about painting a landscape or creating a journey, and it’s also an excuse for me to explore the synthesis of sounds, and in particular, the idea of other dimensions of mind or reality. 

It’s all in the imagination, and the mind is free to explore these things. Thats what art is about, in part, and so there is some escapism to the music, as well as a focus on creating moments of peace for the listener.

This mix ends a long period of working on this particular form of sound, as I now move back into more structured music and other forms, so it's been a nice way to bring an end to a phase of creative work. I'm now ready for the new year, and a new energy." - Ishq

Thank you, Matt. It’s truly an honour <3

All reposts are mixes that I have actually listened to myself.

𖦹 

in those subtle moments 
we sometimes drift into, 
when time slips away 
and life stands silent, 
words cease to spill from our mouths 
or even bubble up from that source within. 
the warming wholeness ensues 
at the sheer experience of it all:  
we marvel at the vast beautiful complexity 
of creation rolling around and within us. 
it’s likely that every human 
has experienced this feeling 
at least once in some form. 
it almost seems hardwired, 
like a key back into the garden.
