Epic, wistful, sometimes even solemn cross-genre drama in 4 movements and tempos (0/140/105/180). An opus magnum of sorts. Mixed on the eve of summer solstice 2010.

To those who care to check this one out - I humbly suggest listening to it in one sitting, and preferably not as a background music, but rather while paying attention. It was conceived and played with an idea of dramatic development in mind, really as a kind of a trip, with a lot of details and layers... It's neither a dance mix nor a chill-out relaxation session, rather an integral and even conceptual piece that - hopefully - tells a story and is "more than sum of its parts", if you know what I'm sayin'.

first half of the mix pays tribute to Leyland Kirby aka The Caretaker. Phil mixes a tapestry of his favorite tunes, then Cambo catapults the mix into something with a beat

This very dark and almost autistic set was made using my verrrrrry customised ldp8 mapping for traktor, also released in the coming hours on the djtechtools forum as a christmas gift...

We pick records at random, keep things mellow, and lose track of our b2b as whiskey gets involved.

December full-moon moods. Deep trippy beats, soulful songs and abstract be-bop

Deejay João Miranda presents my new dj set. Extravagant Trip. 2011-12-05..... I hope you like my friends comment and share.....;-)

Bmind é o espelho das influências que Jaime absorve a cada dia.
A dança é sagrada, a música é viva, cada live um ritual, cada som um ponto, cada ponto um conto... de amor, paz, dança... dançar...

Cada live é único pois metade de tudo é improviso. Com um estilo împar Jaime prefere deixar as definições para a pista de dança, enquanto respira cheiro de mato, colhe inspirações no vento, bate tudo no liquidificador e faz seu shake dançante com timbre de gosto da terra.

Bmind já lancou suas tracks por diferentes selos: Beachtown Records (Alemanha), Nonpop Records (México), Tranzmitter netlabel (Brasil) Proto Records (Brasil), é residente do coletivo Under_line e já apresentou seu Live em diversas festas no meio do mato e em grandes clubs como Vegas e D-edge.

Recentemente bmind em parceria com L_cio formam o duo Spiritual Techno.
Bmind também faz parte da banda Sapuary que faz intenso trabalho de pesquisa em música popular Brasileira, música latina e música contemporânea.

Something really special for Charity Queen's debut sessions with Awkward Movements. The long time Kamikaze accomplice has outdone himself compiling a chronological mix of the history of electronic music. There's full notes on the structure and the tracks going up at http://www.awkwardmovements.com/2011/11/awkward-movements-sessions-38-charity.html - worth the read while listening to the mix.

"This mix is a sequence of electronic and electroacoustic works which I feel did something new, whether technically or aesthetically, in whatever era they were made. Most importantly, they're all the electronic works that I like most, rather than just being a list of came firsts (e.g., Paul Lansky's early FM synthesis experiment is in despite John Chowning having been on it for a few years by that point). I've tried to keep it 'musique concrete' by only using works that were recorded when they were composed, hence the absence of John Cage's scored 'mix' works and Olivier Messiaen's early works for Ondes Martenot.

I'm slightly mortified reading my tracklist back to find there are no women here. To that end, check out Laurie Spiegel, Maryanne Amacher, Daphne Oram, Johanna Beyer's Music of the Spheres from 1938 (why oh why didn't I kick this mix off with that?), Pauline Oliveros, and Eliane Radigue for more early electronic goodness".
