I'm not sure how this mix started. It was probably just a case of me stumbling across a tune that made me think of a dystopian sci-fi movie and from there I collected tracks over a few years. From what I can tell, I started gathering songs 6 years ago. 

I wasn't sure what the mix would sound like when I started laying down the tracks. As it began to take shape I realized it kind of sounded like one of my Blade Runner mixes. It definitely has some of that vibe but I think it's different enough to be it's own thing. I'm very happy with how this one turned out especially considering I didn't have much a plan at the beginning.

I've said many times here that one reason I like hosting guest mixes is because they bring a diversity of styles and choices different from my regular offerings. This latest set from Roquen Lómë accomplishes that beautifully. This mix is lush and gorgeous in a way many of mixes are not. Playing this mix is like a breath of fresh air.

This mix is pretty straightforward - it's a collection of Berlin-school style tracks where the arpeggio is relatively slow. I don't know what the actual BPMs are but these tracks are not the driving sequences usually associated with Berlin-school music. They unfold at a more languid, chill pace.

I was very happy to be able to include the track "Wenn der Südwind weht" by Roedelius in this mix as it's one of my favorite electronic tracks of all time. 

Cheers!

Most mixes posted here are around one hour in length. There needs to be a good reason to go well beyond that time. Well, this guest mix is a good reason to go long. This set comes to us from Faru - https://faru.bandcamp.com/music He has done a bunch of mixes over the years including for the Deep Breakfast series & Silent Season's Campfire Stories. You can find those mixes here - https://soundcloud.com/faruambient/sets/my-mixes

Here's what he says about this 4-hour set:

"The sun comes through the leaves in pieces, slow shifting fragments that move across your skin like something deliberate. The air smells of warm grass and blooming, that specific fullness when everything is happening at once.

Pollen drifts through the light, weightless, golden, the leaves quietly dancing. Birds in the canopy. Voices not close enough to make out, just the shape of people being easy with each other, flowing past like part of the same current. The specific gravity and warm energy of another being, close.

Three hours passing, or maybe more. Your breathing has slowed to match something you can't name but can feel.

You are not waiting for anything. Just here, inside this particular moment. Which turns out to be everything."

Faru said he likes a 4-hour mix because he wants the music to start being the environment. This mix envelopes you and does become part of the surrounding space. Thanks for a great mix!

Cheers!

It's been hot as hell here lately thanks to what the meteorologists are calling a "heat dome." Add in some smoke drifting in from Canadian wildfires and it makes being outdoors no fun. I wondered about hot weather music and thought slightly twangy, acoustic and electric guitar fits the mood. There's just something about these tracks that feels right for an oppressively hot day.

I like this collection because it covers a wide range of years from 1984 to 2026, with stops in 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011, 2014, 2024, & 2025. I hope you enjoy the mix and stay cool.

Cheers!

Recently I was messaging with LLM guest mixer, Roquen Lómë, about Type records - an experimental record label that was active from 2003 to 2013. Founded by John Twells & Stefan Lewandowski in the U.K., Type released some creative music in those ten years ranging from delicate piano to sculptured noise to glitchy electronica to ambient to psych folk.

I thought it would be fun to create a mix of music from Type records catalog - then I looked at that catalog and, wow they sure did release a ton of music. There's no way to make an exhaustive review of their releases so I decided to go chronologically through some of my favorites. That still only scratched the surface, I think I have more than 40 Type records in my collection. 

It was nice listening to some of the recordings for the first time in years and I hope you too enjoy this little trip into the past.

Cheers!
