#28: SUNTITLED

This months mix is something I have been cultivating for a while, waiting for just the right time of the year to drop it on y'all. Well the burnt out bleakness that is August in the midwest couldn't be more perfect. So I present to you an amazing collection of ambient, classical, and minimalist compositions that I believe are some of most beautiful music ever put into 1s and 0s. Here you'll get everything from achingly forlorn classical string arrangements to glitchy, fuzzed-out technominimalism.

To those of you that have never really spent much time with this kind of music, I would warn that it can't really be consumed the same way pop/rock/indy/country/hip hop can. It's a totally different animal. I would encourage you to put this on next time you are working hard on the computer and need a little white noise to fill in the silence. Or better yet, turn off all the lights in your house so that the only light is the trickle-in from the outside, open all your windows to let in the natural sounds of your environment bleed in, crank this mix up on a good stereo and just sit back with a good cocktail in your hand. Bliss.

Also note that the Glissade track comes via a friends newly launched label, Deep Space Recordings. Mad respect.
