Something slightly different in this episode. A bit of a chill out mix WITH drums. I won't be making a habit of it, PROMISE. But had to do a bit of a mix with some of my favourite chill out tunes. Got to mix it up a little now and again, don't you ??

A bit of a sleepy mix here. Or a concentration aid. Strings, Atmospheric, that kind of vibe. So much great music on Bandcamp at the moment. My hard drive is smiling, my bank balance, not so much. The title was supplied by my grandson who was explaining to me a story he was read at nursery. "The water in the forrest was Tardis blue, and the trees were swaying from side to side, and then there was a peppermint sky" Thanks Noah, (-;

Hey everyone, Just wanted to give you all an update. Back in December, I was made redundant from a job I had for 36 years, which naturally shifted my priorities for a while. As a result, I had to put the podcast / label on hold. I’m still looking for work and accepting that it’s going to be a slow journey, but I’ll get there. In the meantime, I’m hoping to make mixes more frequently again. Thank you all for your patience and for standing by me—I really appreciate the support! NOW,...... SPACE AM...

So, Its Sunday night, raining, and I found myself thinking about old and lost friends. Don't know why, but there you are. A mix for thinking about the delicate thing called life. Remembering all the people we have met along the way, and remembering the people that are no more. Years ago I used to go to the canal and stare into the water for hours to do just that. so join me for an hour or so. Let's gather at the water's edge. Just another FYI, Im now uploading on you tube too, bassman-f.podomati...

Hello, Its been a while. I have been busy the past months with my other label, producing and tidying up links etc. If you were not aware, surprisingly, i also produce 90's Jungle ! of all genres, what a contrast of genres's huh ? So from ambient at little or no BPM to 180-190 BPM. I am a troubled guy. ;-) I also was conscious that i was recycling the same ambient tracks at times, and didnt feel comfortable with that, so at the same time, i've been putting together new material, so now i'm back i...

Ive been playing with binural, and how I can incorporate into the mixes to make them sound more wide field. Here is the first attempt on an actual mix. The plugin just makes the music more alive, which is perfect for ambient, More to come. More new music to share. More new samples, effects etc. Watch this space. Exited to share.

Located in a remote corner of Siberia, the town of about 500 will endure high temperatures that struggle to surpass minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, according to AccuWeather. It's perfectly common in the winter months for lows to range from minus 50 to minus 40 degrees. Bear that in mind while listening to this. Perfectly fits the vibe.

While their artists' aesthetics are experimental in nature, they primarily deal with professionally trained classical musicians, who have turned to a more experimental side of music, including stylings spanning the darkly decadent to the childlike dreams of fairy tales. https://twitter.com/mythicalrecords The ...

Hello, A big massive thank you on a universal scale for listening to my mixes. I did have a wobble not so long ago whether or not to continue with the series. But over the months / years, I am reminded that I have been contacted many times, randomly by such decent human beings, who enjoy them, and so many talented artists asking to showcase their music that it would be a crime if I did. So here I am. "Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom."–Lao Tzu....
