Sublight: “Fax n Friends 6” DJ set
And to close off the Christmas celebration, here’s a mix of nearly three hours from the master of the seasons (ambient-ly speaking), the amazing Pete Namlook and the many excellent artists on his Fax label.
Sublight: “Down the Rabbit Hole” DJ set
Darker than a million midnights, but leading to a new dawn.
Sublight: “Fax n Friends” DJ set
One of the absolute legends of ambient music is without a doubt Pete Namlook. His Fax +49-69/450464 label pioneered so many forms of ambient experimentation it is truly prolific. This is this first in a long series of mixes that features the talents of Namlook and his many, well-known collaborators, including Richie Hawtin, Tetsu Inoue, Jonah Sharp, Bill Laswell, Mixmaster Morris, Geir Jenssen, Steve Stoll, Gaudi, Bobby Bird, David Moufang, Wolfram Sypra, Atom Heart and many, many others. Enjoy the chill.
Sublight: “Golgotha”
Here’s a track that’s 8 years old but hasn’t really seen the light of day before. Dark business for dark days.
Sublight: “Season of Unreason” DJ set
A cross between Christmas and politics – the events switch from the heady days of the Bush administration making the case for war in Iraq, to the innocent childhood memories of Dylan Thomas’ “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”, all tucked in cozily with an ambient sound track of DJ tracks and scored music & samples. [free jungle set at the end!]
Sublight: “If Thoughts Were Angels” DJ set
Here’s some thinking-space music for you this morning. It also has its beautiful moments. Enjoy.
Sublight: “Bitter Witticism” DJ set
When life hands you adversity, give it a good laugh in return. It’s only trying to figure out which of us can take a joke.
Sublight: “Logopolis” DJ set
For those of you who know Doctor Who, this might make sense (up to the 101 Dalmations and whale song bits anyhow…). Recorded on 3 turntables, a VCR and two CDJ’s.
Sublight: “Krakhaus Ambient Vibes” Classic DJ set
The Krakhaus is my & Kensho’s old place in Ottawa. There were some memorable chillout sets played at our legendary multi-day parties when the dancing was done for the night and the sun was on its way up… Have a happy and fulfilling week.
