I started thinking about this mix listening to the new Deaf Center release. Layers of strings create a beautiful, melancholy experience. That pretty much describes the rest of the music in this mix. All of the music in this mix is new, either 2007 or 2008, except for the Andrew Deutsch cut which is from 2005(although it is new to me). Artists include Deaf Center, Stars of the Lid, Jasper TX, MWVM, Svarte Greiner, Bersarin Quartet and more. - Source Site:http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/ Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:54:03 -0500 http://swindle.net/wp/audio/AnIndomitableDesireForIt.mp3 Wistful, dubby techhouse, techno & deep house wafting thru your summer: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [01] MISS FITZ: Drifting On, [02] DEEPCHORD: Spacecho Dub, [03] CASSY: Poem, [04] BVDUB: Untouchable, [05] BEAT PHARMACY: Drifter - Dub Mix, [06] SCREECH: Belle De Jour, [07] DEEPCHORD: Echospace Reform, [08] NEUROTRON: Close To The Source, [09] KRIS WADSWORTH: Sorta Down, [10] GUILLAUME & THE COUTU DUMONTS: They Only Come Out At Night - Horror Inc Remix, [11] NEUROTRON: After The Rain, [12] LANGENBERG: Estate, [13] THE PER ECKBO ORCHESTRA: Kodo Verano, [14] HENRIK SCHWARZ & AMAMPONDO: I Exist Because Of You (Dixon's Stripped Down Version), [15] PROMPT: Toucan, [16] JOSH WINK: Stay Out All Night - Organ Mix, [17] GREG PARKER: Back To Me, [18] JORGE SAVORETTI, SEUIL: Fatissimo vs. [19] GREGOR TRESHER: Break New Soil (Daniel Stefanik Remix), [20] VLADISLAV DELAY - ANDY STOTT: Recovery IDea (Andy Stott remix), [21] GREG PARKER: Turn Over, [22] PEACE DIVISION: Theory, [23] DEEPCHORD: Convextion Remix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Source Site:http://swindle.net/wp/2008/06/30/an-indomitable-desire-for-it/ Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:16:49 -0500 http://lowlightmixes.podbean.com/medias/web/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhMi5wb2RiZWFuLmNvbS8xOTc4OC91L3JldHJvYWN0XzFfcG9pbnRfMC5tcDM/retroact_1_point_0.mp3 All the music in this mix, retroact 1.0, is at least 10 years old.

While I was researching this month's selections, I was surprised to find out that Australia has a flourishing funk scene and artists that are regularly releasing awesome tunes. Check out some of the links in the tracklist for more info. Get ready to get funky, this set has some serious character, is super uplifting, and tons of fun.

As the title suggests, his set is an adventure in Dub, is beat driven, glitchy but intelligent, and bass HEAVY. This is something completely new for this podcast!

I have found some terrific brokenbeat, funk, and jazz as well as a couple of excellent mashups that will transport you back to more simple times. In fact, I even whipped together a couple mashups of my own for this one!" This show is all over the place, but, was quite fun to create and is bound to leave you with a smile on your face. Enjoy!

The show is an eclectic mix of genres from underground hip-hop, nu-jazz, chillout, and downtempo and mixing this set has left me feeling kind of like a mad scientist. Well, maybe like a crazy conductor of a super cool symphony!ENJOY!

I played this set at a little dinner party this weekend and it was the perfect tonal background for a great meal and intimate conversation. Enjoy!

I am a HUGE fan of deep, Progressive House/ Breakbeat music and I have been for over a decade. It is nice to see that a lot of what make progressive music, well, "progressive," is also utilized quite often in downtempo and chillout music. The "music" in a song tends to be more important than the beats and rhythm and that is what really defines this style. Rich, complex melodies that invoke emotion are key to Progressive music and this month's episode is an example of just that... at a slower tempo.

I've been collecting field recordings from various sources & even bought a digital recorder so I could do my own phonography. There is very little proper music in this mix. It's mostly field recordings that I downloaded from sites like Quiet American and SoundTransit. Some of the recordings are from cd's that I own. Most of the music is music that already has field recordings built into the track. I used two tracks from a great cd by Emanuele Errante called "Migrations". A few other tracks came from Geir Jenssen 's "Field Recordings From Tibet". A couple of other cuts came from "Classifields - Trips 6" on Tripostal. I also sneaked some loops into the mix here & there. Some of my favorite field sounds are trains, so you'll hear various train sounds at different times in the mix. I also like empty train station reverb, so that fades in & out a couple times. The sounds range from a resonant pipe in a rain storm to foghorns to church bells to chanting to arrival anouncements to piano and an open window.

This episode is chock full of tastey nu jazz and broken beat, and, it is even lightly dusted with some choice underground jazzy hip-hop.
