Tall City

Have I been here before, or maybe I never actually left? A wandering through genres and moods unified by being slow and leisurely, unconcerned with catching up. Photo taken in a peripheral part of campus while studying in China. Quite a bit by @narcissemusique and @dj_andara as well as @ninze @carrotgreen @luimafuta @danielhokum @tlazohtla @dvnielmusic @danielsteinfelsmusic @omeriamusic @midas104...

USA secret intelligence has been busy with rumors that excellent music has been made in locations such as Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Brazil, and much of the southern hemisphere. Military operatives are now hunting these talented producers and singers, to prevent any threat to US dominance of radio and mind control. Two hours of immersive global dub. When it is finished, you may feel like you woke...

A mix for skipping work to do nothing all day. Disco and deep house cuts to accompany the summer, a romantic silliness and fearless vulnerability.

A mix made from the viewpoint of a divine force travelling the globe in search of rhythm. Recorded staying inside on a hot Denver day.

A throwback mix to the sound of the turn of the millenium, when the best electronica was playing in lounges rather than the big clubs.. growing out of the indie scene and experimental glitch sound, with futuristic synths and smoothe vocals, it was intensely personal, intimate, full and human. sounds by @dialogg @jas_artchild @crackazat @china-charmeleon @matchiavaroli @kristin-velvet @eturusheo @k...

A set of summer sounds from a range of sources like NYC, Detroit, Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and probably Europe.

An improv set on a Wednesday evening livestreamed via IG, for everyone in and out of town, in House Party Denver, and anywhere really. Photo from an art opening at Zip37 gallery in Denver in 2015.

A steady exploration of afterhours feelings, when dream figures encroach on peripheral vision. A blend of slow sounds from Germany, Brazil, Mexico, France, Switzerland, Argentina, and points in between or nowhere close at all.

step into the dark as the only way to step out of the dark. feeling surprised you are still alive at this age. staying with the thorough emotions rather than the scattered screams encouraged by handheld technology. a slow embrace by a rhythmic sadness.

Every time I blink, I open my eyes to find myself in a different place. Perhaps the next time I open my eyes I will find myself at home. A globetrotting mix of rhythmic wandering, spanning Brazil, Argentina, Mali, Europe, North America, and more.

A house mix inspired by Blake Baxter's "Where Were You" .. a survey of late night sounds that bring me back to New York @blakebaxter @intr0beatz @salivacommandoes @vian-pelez @samideeforever

The period between lives can be confusing for those easily provoked by sensations. Faces from your previous life and premonitions of the next will mingle into a bodiless haze, and emaciated souls that wander these moments see lost ghosts like ourselves as easy prey. The past doesn't belong to you and the future hasn't revealed itself yet. As for the now, that is a matter of opinion. Guidance by@at...

A bouncy mix of global downtempo and multicultural electronica

Waking up in different places around the world. Maybe the next time I open my eyes I will be home. @oceanvsorientalis @kanto_records @nicolacruz @klikandfrik @diamond-setter @omemusic @nillocr @randomcollectivecr @populous @yloh @sleepingnacho @santide @ibu-selva @destroydisco @camila-costa @xanducero @fertildiscos @lucaslead @bakurmusica @faca

A selection of tracks all over 6 minutes, mixed into a long lazy journey.

In the spirit of the big game

Drunk Drums #1 by Tall City

Something for the dancers

Voices of those now or previously alive drift through one ear and out the other, tiptoe across your brain lightly as to not disturb your peace.

Our spirit takes us places our mind can't quite explain. Your brain is searching for reasons, but your soul has already found the best future for you, and places you there. Confused and unsure, you struggle until the reasons rise from the depths, and you finally understand why you came here. One of my favorite mixes, recorded live while on IG live. A medley of cumbia, samba, deep and organic house...

Voices overlap and layer into a bed of wandering dialog, locked within rhythms. Sounds courtesy of @shikashikacollective @mercedesnasta @loli-cosmica @intiche @el-buho @joaquincornejomusic @chanchaviacircuito @go-dugong @rumbotumba @dj-captain-planet @liniker-barros @bernardopinheiro @klikandfrik

Feeling like you went to sleep on the ground and woke up past the sky. Drifting but safe in a circular path around the earth. Music from Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, the USA, North Africa, and more. @kvoox @manucho_arevalo @enlabarda @peter-power @joaquincornejomusic @gasparmuniz @antaares @yemanjo @dj-yeahman @foxallmusic @holedcoin @a-v-m @dvniel-dt

I'm pretty sure I've spent way more on music than gear, but I think a good selection is key, and flashing lights are fun but secondary.. A journey through different moods, all with the undercurrent of rhythmic imperfection.. dust and grime, so offbeat it works, strange samples repeated until they click. Some of my favorite producers mixed in a cool basement while the world above strives and swelte...
