Pridon
"Every now and then I create a new DJ engine structure in Ableton in order to get some inspiration for mixing tracks in a bit different way than usual, more like an elaborate DJ set. So i got a varying bunch of tracks together, ranging from ambient to more intense trippy stuff. For me, these tracks have in common a feeling of some risk taking and some nice weirdness which i often look for in music, also this contemplating melancholy an almost meditative ethereal vibe".
Belgrado
This playlist is a mixture of songs from a variety of genres that makes part of the little universe we listen to. This is a portion of our perspective.
Petrels
"This is less of a mix and more of a collage. For the most part there's at least two tracks playing at any given time (going up to four at one point I think) and it's only towards the end where I've eased up on the gas a little and put a few tracks in sequence in their entirety. No disrespect to the artists featured at all - this is all music I love - I just enjoy throwing tracks together like this and hearing something new come out of the layers. "
Holy Limbo
Holy Limbo said about the mixtape : “This mix is mostly about where our heads are at while we’re in the process of recording our new album. The tracklist is a little bit diverse going from abstract jazz and trip hop to post rock and electronica but this is how we are and what we like. Openness is a great deal in everything. Especially when it comes to writing music”.
The Leaf Library
“These tracks are all new (or new-ish) things that have grabbed us over the last couple of years. There are a couple of older things on there, of course (Aldous flippin’ Huxley!) but, otherwise, it’s all pretty fresh. The music here reflects a bit more of what we listen to at home, being a bit heavier and more out there than what we’ve done ourselves up to now. But it may also point the way forwards for us a little as well… who knows. We hope you enjoy it.“
