I put together a new mixtape this weekend, this one’s heading over to Summer Mix Series as well.
This mix came together as I was contemplating the baby boy that’s currently gestating in my wife’s womb, and wondering what must be going on in there, what that might sound like. An imagined electrical soup by-way-of Peter & The Wolf; equal parts ambient noise, mechanical knocks & bangs, maternal memories, future flash forwards, bits of outside noise penetrating the womb (mom listening to a record, family gathered around the dinner table, etc.). More of a psychedelic ambient trip than my usual mixes.
For best results, use a good set of headphones, and keep the concept in mind while listening. It makes a bit more sense that way.
Tracklisting:
1. Colleen “I’ll Read You A Story” / Harry Belafonte “Day-O” 2. Francois des Roubaix “Xavier et la Maison D’arret” / Harry Nilsson “Little Cowboy” 3. Aphex Twin “Kladfvgbung Micshk” / Grouper “Moon Is Sharp” 4. Oneohtrix Point Never “Describing Bodies” / “Tape to Grandma ’68″ 5. Nico Muhly “Music Under Pressure (Flute)” / Harry Belafonte “Matilda Matilda” 6. Pantha du Prince “Lay In A Shimmer” 7. The Dead Texan “Beatrice Pt. 2″ / “Peanut Butter Jelly” / Harry Nilsson “Little Cowboy” 8. Hans Appelqvist “Mormas Fagel” 9. Marcus Fjellstrom “Untitled 090616″ / Peter Walker “Spring” / Harry Nilsson “Little Cowboy” 10. Seahawks “Omega Beach” / Don Henley “Boys of Summer” 11. Stephan Mathieu “Tinfoil Star” 12. Jürgen Müller “Sauerstoff Blassen” 13. Jürgen Müller “Meeresbett Meditation” 14. The Fleetwoods “Tragedy” 15. Oneohtrix Point Never “Stress Waves” / Brian Eno “Signals” 16. Talk Talk “5’09″ / “Christmas 1975″ / Stars of the Lid “Even If You’re Never Awake (Deuxieme)” 17. Triosk “Moment Returns” / Harry Nilsson “Little Cowboy” 18. Aphex Twin “Prep Gwarlek 3b” 19. Aphex Twin “Beskhu3epnm” 20. Tim Hecker “In The Air III” / Tarentel “Isalais Delay” / Harry Belafonte “Day-O”

Just waiting for the right time to listen to this, when I won’t be distracted by anything.

Click here to download.

I’m downloading this right now. It looks superb; a perfect balance of songs I already love, songs I’ve barely played but to which I’ve been meaning to devote more time and songs I’ve never heard. Can’t wait to dig in!

I WANT YOU

“Shortly before we got his third mixtape I WANT YOU, Theophilus London released a DIY promo video for the track “Life Of A Lover”. The record loops lazily to show us a new look: pretty girls dancing with each other at a show, young dudes headnodding, the crush of cameras and hard flash that now follows us everywhere we go, a cut to Theophilus in monochrome riding in a Vespa gang through Chinatown en route to Brooklyn and then back to the dance—a mic cord drifting slowly in and out of the frame and his hand reaching out to bring a girl on stage. That is all and this is it: inspired by Marvin Gaye’s self-imposed European exile and controversial performance of the national anthem at the 1983 NBA All Star game, I WANT YOU is a collection of dark jams that restlessly examines the promise of love beyond lifestyle. Touching on LA electrofunk, UK indie, tropical escapade and obscure afropop you never knew existed, these are stories from the way we live now: missed connections and misunderstandings, video chats and retweets, returns and deliverables. We know today is all black everything but more to the point: this is now noir as we know it. And this is Theophilus London.”
