Ok, I'm back. and I made a new mix. All I really ask is that you listen to this at night, hopefully while making a long trip in a car or train, so that it seeps in right.

But then again, sometimes things manage to seep in regardless…no matter what you do…



As far as this one, for genre, I'm going with ALLWAVE, but a lot of it is the current disco type sound mixed with a bunch of older, timeless gems. Lots of edits/tweaks/thought in there as well. It's also the longest one I've ever done, clocking in at a little under two hours. Feels like the long-form mix rarely ever get nailed down properly in recorded form. So many legendary sets lost in the ether, now just low hums of resonance cradled in the minds of the grateful. Probably the way it was meant to be, but still, also a little sad when you think about it. Just kinda funny how we're finally completely free of any sort time constraints due to mediums, yet most mixes available for consumption are running about thirty minutes or less.

But I get it though, gotta keep pinging 'em. You exist, gawdammit! Plus, it's sorta fool-proof, innit. That being said, I intend to make at least one more attempt at something way more dense and involved then necessary, seeing as it's almost a lost art. Plus I think it's kinda suited if you're aim is to, I dunno, invoke some towering epic grandeur. So, ya know...hang in there.

Also, I have been semi-active (under my Scallywag alias at least) over here...

As far as that goes, as much as I think the associational nature of how I've tried to present stuff over there is kinda cool, djing with pictures basically, it's also waaay too time consuming, especially when crediting ppl. I'm gonna shift things to be a little more thematic so I can keep up with all things amazing, and try and make the focus on bringing in more secrets from the innernaut abroad. Not gonna just completely buckle under the weight of a little cost-benefit analysis, but I'm also not gonna let a missing puzzle piece stump me anymore. Plus I'm doing it all wrong as is if I consider workflow and efficiency, not even using tags n such, just piling things around my hard drive. But there have been a couple stretches of content so far that I've been pretty pleased with, so feel free to go dig those out before things pick up around there.

Anyhow, until we meet again, keep spreading the fascinating parts, and don't forget to cut out the 'just because'. super important in this day n age.
