Mix / Blankets: No.4

I originally made these mixes for myself when i had a terrible bout of insomnia. The whole process helped me find my way back to a somewhat normal sleeping schedule. This series has been about creating a meditative head space. It’s multi layered and the tracks featured rarely are in their original form. Part of the fun in this process for me was creating unique edits and finding the perfect sequence, including layers of samples and field recordings, to create a floating-down-the-river sensation.

Big, big-ups to Strategy for lacing me with a gorgeous unreleased track, “Put Your Air in the Hands” (check it at 35m 45s). I had the pleasure of designing his Kranky debut Drum Solo’s Delight back in 2004. If you don’t already have it get it, it’s a classic.
