atish - [035] - may 2013 - insomniatic dreams

I spent the last month traveling to various corners of the world. Some of the time was spent for gigs, some of the time at AfrikaBurn, and some was visiting friends and family. Amidst all the excitement, flying, partying, and jet lag, I'd often waver between desperately trying to stay awake and the opposite, hopelessly trying to fall asleep. During these bouts of insomnia, I found myself in a half-asleep dream-like state that I think made its way through into the feeling of this mix: varying levels of intensity while still holding on to a floating, dream-like state. If you'd like to hear a more personal take on my mixes and creation process, check out this interview piece NPR did with me here: http://www.kalw.org/post/bay-area-beats-dj-atish-art-mixing To keep up with my gigs and general stuff going on in my music world, follow me on facebook: http://facebook.com/atishmusic Special thanks to Oleksiy Khmelov for the beautiful artwork, "Jellyfish".
