Back in July I made a little compilation/mix for A Smile In The Mind, a blog by my friend Robin Kranenborg.
I forgot to share it here.

With this compilation I wanted to create the soundtrack of your loveliest night in the summer – great vibes,
sweet words, deep talk and magical silences… For me, music goes along with every moment in a day.
I’m always aware of the atmosphere around me and music is often the biggest support to make it feel
right and comfortable. I like music that stimulate thoughts, sounds that lead you through a different
mind state and shape moments that you couldn’t ask for…

You can subscribe to asmileinthemind music compilation through Spotify to listen to all compilations. Enjoy!

Bimhuis is one of the special places I aim to visit more often but never really do – and that’s all
ok, it keeps the magic alive. Once in while I’m fortunate to enjoy something I’ve never heard of
or desperately want to see and always leave the place with a dose of inspiration good for months.

Bimhuis is part of the Muziekgebouw aan het IJ in Amsterdam. The venue provides a perspective
on Dutch and international music in which a variety of jazz and improvised music can be enjoyed.
The focus is on new developments, and besides the ‘regular’ programme there is space for special
events like Beat Dimensions with Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke or Viral Radio Festival which
will take place this saturday night (3rd of September) with the likes of Ras G, Darkstar and Knalpot.

Keep an eye on the programme and drop in once in a while…

I have no idea where to start if I want to write something about the great projects of Moritz von Oswald,
one of the most influential producers of techno music in the 90s. Together with Mark Ernestus
he founded the legendary Berlin based Basic Channel label (1993) and they form Rhythm & Sound.
Under this name they release their intepretation of the dub sound; stripped down, full of space
- deep, dark and mesmerizing. When listening to this music through the headphone I find myself
headnodding with my eyes closed behind the laptop – this music makes you think and reveals
your deepest thoughts. One of my favorite tunes is See Mih Jah – it’s monotone sound is
hypnotic and far from boring. See Mih Jah is the title track of the album which wears the same name.

In the past 14 years they released their tunes on a sublabel of Basic Channel called Burial Mix.
Expect more about Basic Channel and Moritz in the near future.

Low Motion Disco keeps it slow, just like our postings in the past few months – ok, not that slow.
LMD is from Switzerland, the duo creates dreamy listening music where you can dance
to as well…slowly. Their sound is shaped by the combination of old-school dub techniques,
ambient field recordings, a passion for classic soul and r&b and the slow-motion rhythms
of hearts beating at rest. Their last album ‘Keep it slow’ was released in 2007 at the belgium
Eskimo Recordings. See their blog for mixes and inspiration.
