Somnopolis
I'm making an effort to get back into mix-making and releasing them sort of regularly. Here's one! This series is heavily inspired by the Underworld broadcasts of yore. Variously ambient, eccentric, dark, bleepy, bloopy.

Nice, varied tracklisting. Any mix with UW's "To Heal (and restore broken bodies)" is all right by me, but lots of other interesting tracks in there, too. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Somnopolis
New ambient/quiet mix, loosely themed around the idea of rain. Features a truly obnoxious attempt at mashing up Underworld and Vangelis.
http://www.andykhouri.com/somnopolis-02 I keep tinkering with other mixes. I used to like to make dance mixes but honestly the way Underworld mixed all their music and others together on their old broadcasts was so cool that I'm compelled to emulate it. Also, it's harder than mixing dance music. |

Re: Somnopolis
True! But too many beats! Too exciting a track. I was trying to keep it downtempo. Like even Please Help Me is mashed with some NIN strings to keep it depressing.

Re: Somnopolis
Another one. All of these have a kind of sonic theme. This one is that sort of low-fi, downtempo breakbeat sound exemplified by DJ Shadow and Massive Attack back int he day, mixed with some complimentary stuff I think blends well.
It's harder to mix ambient stuff than dance stuff! http://www.andykhouri.com/somnopolis-03 01. The Clarke & Ware Experiment: Wilderness/Turbulence 02.

Not as such, but on my browser I can click the dropbox link on my site and play the file in my browser without downloading.

Track 3 is from one of the Lemonworld broadcasts but right now I don't know which one. Years ago I broke out all those exclusive songs into separate files and didn't keep good notes on their provenance. I can find out when I get home. |
