We’re revisiting a community favorite episode that was originally posted in January 2024. This mix opens with a piece from Phill Niblock, an American avant-garde composer who passed away last week. We play his thirty-minute collaboration with cellist Arne DeForce from 2013. We also commemorated Iasos, playing a few tracks from Inter-Dimensional Music across the mix. The first half had newish tracks from Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross, Davi Music, and Peter M. Murray. The second half plays a new instrumental from Minhwi Lee and classic new age music from Pauline Anna Strom and Constance Demby. We wrapped with a track from Rosie Carr. We hope you enjoy.

Today’s mix is all music from Ghostly International in honor of their recent reissue of Studio’s 2006 record, West Coast. Thanks to Sam Valenti IV for the assistance (check out his newsletter, Herb Sundays). We begin with the first track from West Coast, a 15-minute jam called “Out There.” We follow that up with Galcher Lustwerk before easing into Helios, Lusine, and Flow State staple Mary Lattimore. We play some pretty instrumentals from Heathered Pearls, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and Telefon Tel Aviv. Then some classic Ghostly productions from Tycho and Dabrye. The second hour (for paid subscribers) is more upbeat and electronic. This is the first of hopefully many label edits. We hope you enjoy.

Today’s mix opens with a KMRU track and then a couple of scores: Theodore Shapiro’s Severance and Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks. There are piano-led instrumentals by Greta Morgan (more on her tomorrow) and molly leach. We play two new guitar instrumentals from Blue Lake and SUSS – the latter is an ambient country cover of “This Land Is Your Land.” We get into deeper guitar cuts by Durutti Column, Barry Archive Johnson, and The Deku Trio. We selected three beats from Madlib’s Yesterday’s New Quintet project, and then the mix winds down with dub techno from Porter Ricks and Museum. We hope you enjoy.
