A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!.

Thanks for the comments, i'm glad this mix was appreciated – definitely the best of last year 🙂
Amazing mix, thanks very much. A lot of great stuff I've not heard.
Hello,
many thanks for your beautiful and very informative blog.
It seemes to me that you know a lot about electronic music/sound/noise. I've got a question, are you know'n with the dutch artist felix Hess and his project Light as Air? I read about him in a dutch magazine called Noorderbreedte and tried to find more about this project (taping the infrasound of air pressure cyclus) until now without succes. Anyway i was just curiuos.
Grtz.

This is amazing! All that wonderful music you've curated (much of which I hadn't heard before), replete with a convenient sampler.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading your blog.
