    The Silence Between by Daniel Hawkins

    When Daniel wrote that he had a new mix based around silence I knew it would be good. Then I saw the tracklist and I knew it would be great. He includes cuts from some of my favorite artists - Halftribe, Innesti, Sonmi451, Loscil, and A Produce. The A Produce track is one of my favorite ambienbt tracks of all time. Here's what Daniel says about his new mix: Claude Debussy once wrote: “The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them”, suggesting that music's emotional impact, beauty, and expression come from the pauses and spacing between sounds. The first thing I think of is Eno’s classic Music for Airports - man did I fall in love with that album. Roach’s Dream Circle comes to mind - low and slow - the music just seems to breathe. Of course you have the steady state drone stuff from Grassow and friends, which I like - but there is no real structure - that’s the point I guess. I tried to pick work for this mix that had at least a bit of melody, but plenty of silence to define the notes. There is a sweet spot that when achieved sends me at least into a deep peaceful space. I’m thinking we all need to spend some time in that space these days to recharge and nurture our sanity. Hoping this mix might help with that my friends. Thanks, Daniel, for another excellent mix. Cheers!

    Step into my Time Machine

    I bought a new mac mini recently and I have been transferring a ton of music to the new system. While cruising through the old files I discovered a folder called "NETLABELS." It's a fascinating collection of music the 2000s that was released on what were then known as "netlabels". I had a ball listening to some of it so I decided to make a mix. There was a lot of music to sort through so I decided to focus on two of my favorite labels - Thinner & Autoplate. Thinner, based in Frankfurt, Germany, released music from 2001 to 2009. They were one of the most consistent and successful netlabels. Thinner’s catalogue includes releases from artists such as Digitalverein, Marko Fürstenberg, Benfay, Pheek, krill.minima, Vladislav Delay, Christian Bloch and many others. As of September 2006, Thinner productions had accumulated over two million MP3 downloads. Thinner had a sublabel called Autoplate, focusing on experimental and ambient music. Thinner on Archive.org Thinner on Scene.org Autplate on Archive.org Autoplate on Scene.org I hope you get a kick out of this trip back to the aughts. Cheers!
