    A Thousand Dreams by Roquen Lómë

    I've said many times here that one reason I like hosting guest mixes is because they bring a diversity of styles and choices different from my regular offerings. This latest set from Roquen Lómë accomplishes that beautifully. This mix is lush and gorgeous in a way many of mixes are not. Playing this mix is like a breath of fresh air. Roquen Lómë says: "My last mix was so long in the making that it became sort of a trip to the past. So for this musical journey I wanted to stay as present as possible. But then again, music is timeless, and so are dreams. The *thousand* theme arose naturally while selecting the tracks aiming for more ambient and less vocal vibe. No lyrics this time - only dreamscapes." Thanks for this lovely mix!

    Slow Sequences

    This mix is pretty straightforward - it's a collection of Berlin-school style tracks where the arpeggio is relatively slow. I don't know what the actual BPMs are but these tracks are not the driving sequences usually associated with Berlin-school music. They unfold at a more languid, chill pace. I was very happy to be able to include the track "Wenn der Südwind weht" by Roedelius in this mix as it's one of my favorite electronic tracks of all time.

    Painting the Sky - Music for the Perseid Meteor Shower 2026

    The annual Perseid Meteor shower is a great excuse to create a mix of spacey ambient music that is perfect for stargazing. The best viewing nights will be August 12 & 13. I believe there will be a new moon this year so we should have nice, dark skies for viewing.

    Ambient Summer by Daniel Hawkins

    The summer of guest mixes continues with an awesome set from friend of the show, Daniel Hawkins. He has created several mixes for us in the past and you can find them here: https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/amiably-ambient-by-daniel-hawkins/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/the-silence-between-by-daniel-hawkins/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/wabi-sabi-by-daniel-hawkins/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/dark-woods-by-daniel-hawkins/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/metallic-memories/ Daniel says the mix is pretty straightforward - "it's a mix to play on the long summer days - light and easy - no cosmic theme."

    Wandering Realms by Seabuckthorn

    I have been a fan of Seabuckthorn for a long time. I think I have around a dozen or so releases. So when Andy Cartwright, who records as Seabuckthorn, offered to create a guest mix I was psyched. Andy did an excellent guest mix for LLM back in November of 2022 which you can find here: https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2022/11/seabuckthorn-transcendental-freq.html or here: https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/seabuckthorn-transcendental-freq/ There is a new Seabuckthorn album out in the world - https://seabuckthorn.bandcamp.com/album/never-the-same-river So it's a perfect time for a mix to highlight some of the music that influenced the new album. Andy said this about the mix: "It has a kind of ritual/ceremonial/psych folk vibe to it, which was the feel I was going for in my latest album." I highly recommend checking out the new album and of course listening to this very cool mix. Also I think it's kind of hilarious that we followed a 4-hour mix with a 36-minute mix. Haha! Cheers!

    Faru - Summer Of Resonance

    Most mixes posted here are around one hour in length. There needs to be a good reason to go well beyond that time. Well, this guest mix is a good reason to go long. This set comes to us from Faru - https://faru.bandcamp.com/music He has done a bunch of mixes over the years including for the Deep Breakfast series & Silent Season's Campfire Stories. You can find those mixes here - https://soundcloud.com/faruambient/sets/my-mixes Here's what he says about this 4-hour set: "The sun comes through the leaves in pieces, slow shifting fragments that move across your skin like something deliberate. The air smells of warm grass and blooming, that specific fullness when everything is happening at once. Pollen drifts through the light, weightless, golden, the leaves quietly dancing. Birds in the canopy. Voices not close enough to make out, just the shape of people being easy with each other, flowing past like part of the same current. The specific gravity and warm energy of another being, close. Three hours passing, or maybe more. Your breathing has slowed to match something you can't name but can feel. You are not waiting for anything. Just here, inside this particular moment. Which turns out to be everything." Faru said he likes a 4-hour mix because he wants the music to start being the environment. This mix envelopes you and does become part of the surrounding space. Thanks for a great mix! Cheers!

    Under a Heat Dome

    It's been hot as hell here lately thanks to what the meteorologists are calling a "heat dome." Add in some smoke drifting in from Canadian wildfires and it makes being outdoors no fun. I wondered about hot weather music and thought slightly twangy, acoustic and electric guitar fits the mood. There's just something about these tracks that feels right for an oppressively hot day. I like this collection because it covers a wide range of years from 1984 to 2026, with stops in 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011, 2014, 2024, & 2025. I hope you enjoy the mix and stay cool. Cheers!

    Just My Type(records)

    Recently I was messaging with LLM guest mixer, Roquen Lómë, about Type records - an experimental record label that was active from 2003 to 2013. Founded by John Twells & Stefan Lewandowski in the U.K., Type released some creative music in those ten years ranging from delicate piano to sculptured noise to glitchy electronica to ambient to psych folk. I thought it would be fun to create a mix of music from Type records catalog - then I looked at that catalog and, wow they sure did release a ton of music. There's no way to make an exhaustive review of their releases so I decided to go chronologically through some of my favorites. That still only scratched the surface, I think I have more than 40 Type records in my collection. It was nice listening to some of the recordings for the first time in years and I hope you too enjoy this little trip into the past. Cheers! T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Mokira - Untitled #3 (Album 2003) 04:25 Deaf Center - Walk (Neon City 2004) 07:21 Golden - Door of Our Home (Corduroy Road 2005) 10:37 Julien Neto - I(one) (Le Fumeur de Ciel 2005) 13:35 North Sea & Rameses III - Night Blossom Written in Sanskrit (Night of the Ankou 2005) 19:19 Xela - Bobble Hats In Summer (For Frosty Mornings And Summer Nights 2007) 25:08 The Alps - Trem Fanstasma (iii 2008) 31:14 Richard Skelton - Grange (Marking Time 2008) 34:00 Koen Holtkamp - You Mean The World To Me (Field Rituals 2008) 36:20 Grouper - We've All Time To Sleep (Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill 2008) 39:12 Helios - Hope Valley Hill (Caesura 2008) 44:05 Black To Comm - Hotel Freund (Alphabet 1968 2009) 47:57 Jóhann Jóhannsson - Pods (And in the Endless Pause There Came the Sound of Bees 2009) 50:55 Ezekiel Honig - Drafting Foresight (Folding In On Itself 2011) 54:35 Sylvain Chauveau - The Unbroken Line (Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated) 2010) 57:41 end

    The Joy of Trains by Paul Asbury Seaman

    Another train mix? Another Berlin-school mix? Yes and hell yes! I've been struggling to keep up with creating new mixes and then, like a train pulling into the station right on time, Paul comes to me with a new mix. Perfect timing! This one has tunes that are all fairly recent so it was fun to hear new stuff or discover new artists. I'm always up for new Berlin-school music and this set from Paul does that with long, evolving tracks that suck you in and keep you going. Here's what Paul says about his latest collection: "I expect that for people who commute to work by train, there’s not much novelty in it. But most of my train-themed mixes imagine a long-distance trip where the journey itself is the experience and the destination somewhere in your imagination. As I’ve said before, sequencer-based “Berlin School” synthesizer music is a natural fit to evoke the subtle, hypnotic rhythms of travel by train. The six artists in this set were all new to me this year—and what a joy it has been to discover them." Thanks again, Paul, for this wonderful collection of train tracks. Cheers! T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Jim Kirkwood - Tenebrae-The Moonbeam Road (Souls That Dance on the Edge of a Sword 2021) 09:27 L.V.

    Quiet Fusion 2026

    A little over a year ago I posted a mix of quiet fusion jazz tunes which I really enjoyed curating. So it was only a matter of time before I made another and here it is. This mix has some of the same artists as the first one - Mile Davis, Soft Machine, Gong, Jean-Luc Ponty, Brand X, along with new additions. Not surprisingly, most of the tracks are from the 1970s, a few from the 80s and one new track by Elephant9 released in 2024. Here's the first quiet fusion mix - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/quiet-fusion/ I still plan on doing a straightforward fusion mix but for now this quiet set will do nicely. It's perfect early morning coffee music. Cheers!

    WABI SABI by Daniel Hawkins

    I've been super busy lately so it's perfect timing for another wonderful guest mix from friend of the feed, Daniel Hawkins. Daniel has done 4 mixes for LLM, each of them a great ambient journey. You can find them here: Amiably Ambient The Silence Between Dark Woods Metallic Memories "This one takes some thoughtful curating to come up with such a cohesive set. Here what Daniel has to say about the mix: "Wabi Sabi conveys feelings of desolation and solitude. Within Mahayana Buddhism these can be considered positive traits, representing release from the material world and the possibility of transcendence to a simpler life. As Mahayana philosophy emphasizes direct experience over verbal explanation, Wabi Sabi may be best understood in a non-verbal, experiential way. According to Richard Powell, "Wabi Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect." Many forms of Japanese art have been influenced by Zen and Mahayana philosophy over the past thousand years. The contemplation and acceptance of imperfection, as well as the awareness of constant flux and impermanence, have been particularly important to Japanese arts and culture. Awareness of the transience of all things heightens appreciation of their beauty, and evokes a gentle sadness at their passing. So I’d been working on this mix for months - adding metallophonic cuts that caught my fancy - as a follow up to last year’s Metallic Memories mix. The mix got to over 3 hours - and I wasn’t sure Dave would be amused. They were all good pieces of music - but I thought maybe a tighter focus would make a more cohesive mix. As I trimmed it down the Wabi Sabi theme seemed to fit the mood and I think makes a nice set. I hope you agree." Thanks for another fantastic mix, Daniel. Cheers!

    Hushed Whispers by Roquen Lómë

    I am listening to this guest mix as I type this and I am loving this set. Curated by Roquen Lómë, this is a wonderful collection of tracks for slowing down, for introspection. You can find some of his stuff on Mixcloud - https://www.mixcloud.com/roguenlome/ Here's what he has to say about the mix: "There's something magical about listening to music late at night. You can dim the lights or turn them off entirely and immerse yourself in the sound. Your perception shifts just enough to highlight subtle noises, making any voices feel intimately near, though sometimes they may not be real. At times, they exist, and other times, they arise from your imagination or the onset of sleep. Most of the used tracks feature some form of vocal or whisper-like quality, though they may not always be tied to a human voice. I still tend to include vocal-driven songs into my mixes to provide an engaging contrast to the predominantly ambient and electronic sounds, ensuring the listener remains alert throughout the journey." Thanks for a lovely mix! Cheers! T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Colin Stetson - Morning Of (The First 2018) 02:13 Anne Müller - Solo? Repeat!

    Current Ambient Obsessions April 2026

    We've had a few guest mixes recently with a couple more on the way so I figured we needed a straightforward ambient mix in between all the guest sets. This mix features all music from 2026, except the track by Slow Dancing Society & zakè which is from 2025. This also features some of my favorite ambient albums of the year so far: > Six Missing - drift, sway > James Murray - Solitude and Silence > Clariloops - As The Light Fades > David Cordero - La Imagen Muda LINKS TO ALL THE MUSIC USED IN THIS MIX: https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/la-imagen-muda https://sixmissing.bandcamp.com/album/drift-sway https://slowcraft.bandcamp.com/album/solitude-and-silence https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/the-quiet-below https://arborescence32.bandcamp.com/album/bouquet-sauvage https://zakedrone.bandcamp.com/album/stars-silence https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-and-unbound https://kordelrecords.bandcamp.com/album/les-id-es https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-make-sense-of-downtime https://anthene.bandcamp.com/album/great-plains https://secretdomainlabel.bandcamp.com/album/heavenchord-infinity-dots-armenia The mix is very chill, very ambient.

    Train to Redemption by Paul Asbury Seaman

    We are in for a real treat with this latest guest mix from Paul Asbury Seaman. Paul has done a bunch of "train" mixes over the years. He has also done several Berlin-School mixes. This one could be my favorite combo of the two themes. This wonderful mix plays right into my current obsession with the Berlin-School subgenre. I can't say enough about how much I love this mix. As I have stated here previously, I've been on a Berlin-School bender for the last few years. Although, now that I think about it, my return to this style has gone on long enough that it is no longer a bender or binge. It's just outright love for this genre. Paul has created an absolute gem so I'll let him tell you more about it: “People get ready…” Popular culture, especially in music, has long used the association with trains as an image of redemption. Part of the seductive appeal of long-distance travel is that something we experience might change or enlighten us. On a train we are free of the obligations and stress of driving, but also have a more private, sedentary experience conducive to withdrawing into ourselves than on a boat, a ship or a plane, yet--to emphasize the metaphorical lesson--in stillness we are also moving forward. This is the paradox: hurtling across the landscape (or through time) while sitting comfortably, without moving. Watching. Rejuvenating." Thanks again, Paul, for curating this fantastic collection of train tracks. ;-) Cheers!

    Kosmische Musik - A Starter Guide Vol. 2 by Erwin Broers

    To finish the first quarter of the year we get another excellent berlin-school mix from EM master, Erwin Broers. Just like his ECM mix posted last month, Erwin sent me this mix last year but I spaced out and forgot I had until this year. Luckily for historical mixes like this one, the post is evergreen and can be appreciated anytime. I'll repost what he said about volume 1: "Here's a follow-up on my mix "Back To The Roots Of Berlin School". As you recall it featured a collection of electronic music tracks from the 1990s, that were inspired by the patterns, sounds and analog instruments of the 1970s and early 1980s. Back then, nobody talked about "Berlin School Electronic Music". That label would only appear somewhere mid 1990s, probably to honour the place where the genre was born. Fans in the early days would rather use the term "Kosmische Musik" (German for "Cosmic Music"). An explanation for the "cosmic" element is to be found in the use of the step sequencer, which made it easy to create hypnotic rhythm loops with up to 32 notes or steps, set a tempo, and mix them over electronic drones, soundscapes, soloing, washes, white noise and space sounds. The effect was to “float” the listener through endless terrestrial or cosmic space. For those not keen on using illicit substances, it was an interesting and harmless alternative "trip"! I thought about creating a mix of some classic pieces from that first era, but soon found out one mix would not be enough to do justice to all the fantastic "Cosmic Music" that was made back then. So we get two mixes! This post is for volume 2 and you can find volume 1 here - https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2025/06/kosmische-musik-starters-guide-vol-1.html Thanks, Erwin, for another great cosmic trip! Cheers!

    Sleep comes like a drug

    I was listening to some U2 tunes recently and in the song "In God's Country" there's a line - "Sleep comes like a drug in God's country." I liked the "sleep comes like a drug" part and thought it would make a good title for a sleep mix. So I got right to work and found some great, recent tracks that are perfect for sleeping. Cue up the mix, climb into bed, and drift off to sleep.

    From Dusk Till Dawn by Fragile X

    Whoa nelly we are in for a treat with this guest mix! This new set comes from John McFadden who records as Fragile X. John has done two other mixes for us that you can find here: https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/aquadream-by-fragile-x/ https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/being-human-by-fragile-x/ I'm kind of jealous of this mix as there are bunch of tracks that I would love to have used in my recent undersea mix. So this is a perfect time for this set because it will play off of my "Alien Sea" mix and lead us into other ambient directions. John has a couple of new EPs out and you can find Fragile X music here - https://fragilex.bandcamp.com/ Here's what John says about "From Dusk Till Dawn" "I've been getting up early a lot so far this year, especially in midweek, for the day job and I've also been making the most of my weekends by trying to stay up late and be creative when I can. So, with that in mind, I've put together a mix to soundtrack the wee hours. I tried to make it dream-like and hazy. Like an escape into the hush of night and through to break of morning. Albeit crammed into 70 mins! It's got some dubby and experimental ambient stuff then slowly unfurls into more melodic ambient pieces over time. Very minimal percussion and the focus more on atmosphere and texture. Hope you enjoy!" Thanks, John, for a great mix! Cheers! T R A C K L I S T : 01. Erik M. - Half Sleep (00:00) 02.

    Deep Ambient Explorations in an Alien Sea

    This mix is the perfect combo of two of my favorite mix themes - sea/ocean motif and ambient dub. I wanted to make an ambient dub mix and while searching for tunes I ran across several that had that great ocean vibe that some ambient dub can have. Then a few more had this odd sort of alien quality to them so I decided on a mix of deep ambient dub that sounds like it should be played in the oceans of Jupiter's moon, Europa. Mot of the tracks are fairly new, from the last few years. But there are some older tracks from 2013, 2012, and all the back to 2002. Everything combines for the perfect undersea exploration. I really love this one.

    ECM Favorites Vol. 2 by Erwin Broers

    I know two things that are true - Erwin Broers is a great contributor to Low Light Mixes and I'm an airhead. 🤪 Last year after I posted a mix of my favorite albums from ECM records, Erwin did his own version. He sent it to me in September and I totally spaced out and forgot about it until this week. But it works out in the end because I've been busy lately so a guest mix is just what I needed. Here's what Erwin says about his ECM favorites: "When LLM published a set of highlights from the revered ECM label back in early Aug '25, https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/ecm-favorites/, it just felt like short-selling its 1600+ title catalogue. A second installment seemed only a matter of time. And here it is! The mix mostly contains tracks one could characterize as "smooth contemporary jazz", the kind of music you put on to unwind after a busy day. A classic in this genre is John Abercrombie's "Timeless". But it also features a very special piece by Stephan Micus, the renowned German multi-instrumentalist, for whom ECM seems to have been created. We hear him singing in an imaginary language and playing several instruments; hauntingly beautiful! Cover Artwork: Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain, 2017" Thanks for another wonderful set, Erwin. Cheers!

    Sunday Morning Music Vol. 25 - The Beauty of Sundays

    It's been a little over a year since my last Sunday Morning Music mix so I figured we needed to revisit this beautiful series.
