The Ambient Hour (Halloween Special)
I had so many spooky sounding tracks I decided I had to bring you an extra Ambient Hour this month. This is the kind of music I listen to when the nights are that bit darker than usual. I listen while I walk… sometimes I think I see shapes moving in the shadows but maybe it’s just my imagination.
Thanks as always to everyone who sends me their music to play, I love receiving it and being able to bring you these mixes. And thanks for listening, it means a lot. If you have a moment to share this show with someone you think will enjoy it I’d be in your debt.

Track list
- Drew Mulholland, Weird Happenings
Taken from: A Portmanteau of Horrors (Subexotic Records)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Drew Mulholland works his soundcraftian magic on the realm of classic cinematic horror. A series of wonderfullly evocative, gently unsettling tableaux conjure vivid tales from the dark side.
Taken from: It’s Like Last Time But This Time You’ve Got A Gun (Mortality Tables)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
‘It’s Like Last Time But This Time You’ve Got A Gun’ steadily intensifies, surging toward an abrupt crescendo. A dreamlike haze spirals into storm clouds of noise and distortion, then collapses suddenly into silence.
Taken from: Mirror at Night (LORE CITY MUSIC)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Mirror at Night is the second solo album from Portland, Oregon artist, Eric Angelo Bessel, releasing October 31 (LP/Digital). Composed of twelve instrumental songs, Mirror at Night paints an ambient landscape of dispersed artificial clouds and bioluminescent waters. Reimagining the nostalgic sounds of the Mellotron and the early aughts multitimbrality of Alesis synths, Bessel glimpses an in-between realm where the past, present, and future merge into a still, obsidian surface.

Ever since I was a tween, I have loved experimenting with audio. One of my favorite times to experiment has been spooky season! Back then, I would record large groups of classmates in the halls, in the gym, or in the bleachers, and then change the speed while playing them back on my tape deck. This often painted a picture in the listener's mind of monsters growing restless! Now that I have fallen deeply in love with creating sounds using synthesizers, I have a much broader sonic pallet to work with! I am becoming more comfortable with less traditional and more experimental styles of musical composition, and this is the latest outgrowth. You may wish to play it for trick or treaters as they troop to your door.
Taken from: Even Though It Was The Blink Of An Eye, I’m Sorry For What We Have Become (Mortality Tables)

"The next instalment in The Impermanence Project comes from The Music Liberation Front Sweden.
Taken from: Landscapes of a trip (Self released)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
"Landscapes of a trip (July 2020) is a concept album about an imaginary trip to the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) so each piece of this album is a landscape of the journey.'
Taken from: Melodies (Subexotic Records) Featured Release
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Subexotic Records is proud to present Melodies, the latest work from Onepointwo, a reflective journey through shifting states of memory, emotion, and perception. Following the haunting introspection of Rec.collapse, Melodies moves toward fragile light — a collection that balances between melancholy and renewal.
Melodies will be released on 28th November 2025 via Bandcamp digital and limited edition pressed vinyl
Taken from: Deep South (Subexotic Records)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Deep South is an array of experimental improvised songs, manifesting drought and nature’s organic textures, with vocals moving from bitter-sweet to harrowing, accompanied by alternate ear jazz drums. This provides an ambient landscape amidst fragments of songs, lullabies and poems in an unknown language.
Deep South will be released on 14th November 2025 via Bandcamp digital and limited edition pressed vinyl.
Taken from: A Degree of Disorder (Burnt Seed Records)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Exploring modular synthesis for a rhythm, an environment... layering and manipulating analogue voltage, noise and collected field recordings in attempts to convey a subconscious sensitivity, to reflect an unfolding of time.
Taken from: Fragments of Silence (Chitra Records)
© All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Ambient minimalism is gaining momentum. Some would argue that evoking atmosphere is harder than sequencing beats, and Fragments of Silence is proof. Laden with lush textures and ambient leanings, the album invites deep listening.
