Mixes Digest 23: Locking In and Zoning Out
Minimal thrills, psychedelic sojourns, soulful house, and more
It’s time for the weekend, and I’m back with an overdue edition of the Mixes Digest. Today’s newsletter has you covered for both club energies and domestic cocooning. Here’s what’s on deck:
a sleek, gliding live set from a low-profile veteran who chooses to let his supple, plasticine house speak for itself
a tribute to an unsung hero of jazz- and soul-fueled Midwestern house
two hours of nimble, trippy minimal, recorded live in Tokyo
a statement of purpose from the label head behind a cornerstone of contemporary UK club
home-listening favorites to accompany a late-night scotch or morning coffee
and, finally, a set from an ambient (and techno) titan that asks you to rethink what you know about psychedelic music.
This one’s for paying subscribers, to thank you for your support. Find all six mixes after the jump.
