An Hour For Tak Tent Radio

Last Sunday Tak Tent Radio hosted an hour long mix of mine, my tenth for the radio station. You can listen to it at Mixcloud and or at Tak Tent. It's mainly made up of music from 2023 with a couple of older (but still fairly recent) ones, almost all having featured at this blog at some point in the past. The Jezebell track is unavailable elsewhere and was sent out to people who pre- ordered the double vinyl edition of Jezebellearic Beats Vol 1(and although Jesse and Darren said the track would never be made available from them they were happy for other people to share it- I thought this mix was a good place for it and luckily Jesse and Darren agree). The Khidja track has become a minor Bagging Area obsession- this is the third mix its appeared on, previously making it onto my end of 2023 mix and the David Holmes at The Golden Lion one a few weeks ago.

Monday's Long Song

Back to work with a bump today after a week off- and the clocks have gone back so soon it'll be dark at four. This is some aural balm to help ease those blues. A while back reader Spencer and myself were exchanging tracks for a project that never quite got going but it brought this to me, Body Blossom by CLAIR.

Body Blossom (Extended Version)

Body Blossom came out in 2022, the work of CLAIR, a six minute ambient/ experimental piece of music/ sound that blends found sounds and field recordings from the Yucatan jungle in Mexico with instruments- a warm modular synth or organ, some percussion and warm bass. There's a blissed out psychedelic feel to it, a euphoria, that I'm hoping may help lift the grimness of a cold morning in north west England in late October.
