Circumnavigator 001





I love creating mixes ... especially ones that showcase ambient music in all it's wonder and glory. I wanted, however, to create an upbeat mix ... one that showcases some of the fantastic post-rock, neo-classical and electronic artists that have and hold my attention.

In this, the first episode of the circumnavigator series, I feature the guitar-orientated sounds of Valerinne, Andre LaFosse, and Loraine ... the electronic sounds of Oathless, Stray Theories, Pink Logik, and Plum ... the neo-classical ambience of The Narrows (Detroit) and Neue ... the deliciously hybrid sounds of Tundra Vole ... and finish on a triumphant note from one of my favourite bands of all time ... Hammock.

I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I do.

circumambient 005






Welcome to the fifth edition of circumambient.

This is our first edition on mixcloud and I hope it will become the home for our regular explorations into all-encompassing and immersive ambient music.

In this episode, we hear from Benjamin Dauer, Fontaine, Chronotype Project, Broken Harbour, Linear Bells, Ophion, Cousin Silas, & Daniel Robert Lahey.

The output from underground labels - Twice Removed Records, Relaxed Machinery and Free Floating - continues to impress me and they have feature heavily on this podcast. In addition, Inner Ocean has captured my attention for the first time... providing me with a greater pool in which to dive within. In my opinion, independent ambient music has never sounded this good... and I am proud to showcase the music featured here.
