Mix 9: Drift
This mix is all about the relaxation that the summer months provide. Living in the 21st century, we get very rare occasions to exercise this right. So hopefully listening to these tracks in the dark is the equivalent of visiting you favorite river, peak, beach, or meadow for the day.
The mix starts with the Japanese folk song "Koku". This song is believed to be written by a priest named Kyochiku in the early 12th century. One day Kyochiku was meditating at the temple in Nara. In his dream he was drifting in a boat; suddenly the thick mist rolled down the sky and blocked his view of the moon. While this happened, he heard the moving melody of flute music. He then reached for his favorite bamboo flute to accompany the ethereal melody.
I hope you enjoy drift. Tracklist:
[00:57] "Koku"
[05:23] Koreless - "MTI"
[10:50] Florence and the Machine - "You've Got The Love" (The xx Cover)
[16:00] Jessy Lanza - "Kathy Lee"
[19:44] Blue Hawaii - "In Two"
[22:54] Thom Yorke - "Honeypot"
[22:12] The xx - "Basic Space" (Astronomer Remix)
[27:30] Mount Kimbie - "Made Two Stray"
[31:25] Blue Hawaii - "Sierra Lift"
[34:55] "Kaede no hana"

Atoms For Peace interview with FACT Mag
A really good read over at FACT Magazine here. They inertview Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich about the new Atoms For Peace album AMOK.
One of the more interesting things I think Thom said that resonates with this blog:
"It’s a broad question, but how much of a role did dance music play in AMOK? You’ve been on both Boiler Room and Benji B’s Radio 1 show recently Thom, and you were playing footwork records – which to return to the idea of kinetics, is pretty much dance music distilled down to its most kinetic form.
TY: “It’s everything, you know? It’s everything going forward as well – as I said earlier, it was a box, and this is our first response to it but it’s something I want to go deeper into… DJing it, breaking it up even more, and when we next meet up with the band it’s an area where I want to bring more to the table. It’s definitely informed by the best bits – for me, anyway – of dance music. I’m not a wholesale believer in all of it, but the stuff that’s good to me right now… it’s the most interesting stuff that’s happening.”

NG: “It’s interesting you ask about dance music though. It is the most happening area of popular music right now, it’s forward-looking and it’s inspiring – even if you don’t like all of it. It’s a little universe all of its own. This is something that’s different in that there’s interaction between electronics and acoustics, and there’s vocals – it’s a very rare thing. For me, it’s exciting because I’m a fan of Thom’s voice, and I’m now getting to hear it on something that’s genuinely original – there’s not much else that sounds like this. The possibilities seem endless. A lot of electronic music seems cold, because it’s missing a voice.”
TY: “For me, whenever I’m building anything, whether it’s on a laptop or drum machine or whatever… there’s always a vocal going in the back of my head. It’s almost impossible for me to listen to a dance tune from beginning to end without picturing a voice. I’m a singer, I can’t help it. I’ll listen to Actress tunes and I’m hearing vocals – it’s just me.”"

Boiler Room Magic (downloads)
We used t have this small room on campus in my middle school and we called it the boiler room. And we would make all these outlandish stories of what when on in there, with various people like Moon, our janitor.
But this Boiler Room is much better. Check this trove of goodies I just found.
