Went for a walk earlier and listened to this and it was the most satisfying headphone listening in a while. Lawnmower drones sounds like something I’d make up as a joke but it’s so great msage.bandcamp.com/album/chambe...

thoughts:

I was given an instruction from Ioannis that this mix must be beatless for the show and I throw my arms up and say that admittedly some of these songs have certain clunks which may be interpreted here and there as a beat - but not quite. There is “sound collage”-like sampling in one of the metaxu pieces that to me is like a radio being scanned, and some of the other pieces have that slow undulating murk where you feel a little unsure whether its a heavily low-passed kick drum/synthesised bass or perhaps a processed drone originally found in a field recording.

My own personal instruction when creating this mix was to not dare touch the ‘fx’ section which I’m always prone to do while DJing. Just the EQ and a little bit of filter. Whenever I am DJing ambient stuff (and this applies to a degree for club stuff) I like to see it as me layering these different textures like stacking images printed on transparent sheets and shining a light through them at once - I think this also can be tied in a bit with how I do visual work. I don’t believe that this is necessarily a unique way of looking at things but I did want to put words to it.

These pieces are largely by friends and at the time of writing this, largely unreleased - alongside music I just really have been enjoying that fit the description. I’m super thankful for everyone that sent me stuff

🚨Breaking🚨

Israeli war bonds won’t be sold in Ireland from tomorrow.

Israel today moved its bond prospectus approval process to Luxembourg.

It has also not included Ireland as one of the member states where it will sell its war bonds.
