Recorded from isolation, Midnight In Echo Park is a journey through my favourite electronic music from the era of 94-04. It features artists like Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Four Tet, and Secret Frequency Crew. The vibes are chill, with mellow beats and a surreal atmosphere, perfect for an isolation mix.
After establishing first contact with an alien species in the Electric Kingdom, our team of explorers need to follow quarantine protocols, so they set up isolation domes on an uninhabited planet. As night falls, strange sounds emerge from the alien plant life around them, and the crew names their camp Echo Park. It turns out this planet is inhabited after all, with a diversity of insect-like creatures, who collaboratively create music to tend the plants. Eventually the team emerges from isolation with new gardening skills, and a new perspective on living in harmony with other species.
