The Halcyon Daze Of Decontrol

this 14th anniversary mixtape sets the controls for the heart of the bass. hearkening back to the halcyon days of Interchill all day after parties full of heady dubs and come down phatties. where there was always a steady flow of mid tempo grooves that kept us going, with an ample cushion of bass that guaranteed a soft landing when needed.

A Burnt God Reboot

five years ago i put up a mixtape called Robot Ground Beat comprised of techno music that was so heavily influenced by jazz that, at points, it veered right into it. while putting that mix together i came across an odd strain of downtempo electronic “jazz” deep cuts. here is a mix of the sounds found that day. a weird and wonderful “b side” companion to Robot Ground Beat where techno producers slow down and put some jazz on it.
