Abstractions

The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more you must allure the senses to it.

– Friedrich Nietzsche


With this in mind, here’s a collection of aurally spectacular lessons in abstraction, selected by myself (Matt) and Will, for your listening pleasure. We’ve included some artists we’ve mentioned before, some we’re sure you’re already aware of and others that will hopefully be new to you.

1. Mental Caverns Without Sunshine – The Caretaker
2. Angel Echoes (Jon Hopkins Remix) – Four Tet
3. Daughters of Bilitis – Grails
4. Hills – Black Atlass
5. Tilted – Stavrogin
6. Tobias – Kwala
7. Two – Seekae
8. Take My Hand – Soosh
9. Brothers – Greenwood Sharps
10. <3 & Soul – Chrome Sparks
11. We Were The One – Two Inch Punch

As always, remember to treat this mix as it is intended, as a nudge towards some great artists that you may not have heard, or just not heard in ages, and who deserve some recognition for the fantastic stuff that they do. So if you like the tracks, follow the links to the artist pages and show your appreciation by buying something. That way, the artists can keep doing what they do and we can keep enjoying it.

And finally, these tracks are best enjoyed through your headphones, so plug them in and let yourself be distracted for all of 42 minutes.
