Sometimes the only way out is through. I made this mix, which I decided to call "The Healer", as a way through. It's dedicated especially to those of us who struggle with depression and bipolar disorder. I cried a lot as I was making it, because it tells my story as it is now in an intimate, intensely personal way. It's a chillout set, comprised of hiphop balladry, slick and funky downtempo, beautifully glitchy IDM, and several oddities that fit. If you're ever feeling sad and alone in this twisted fucked-up world, listen to this. This is music that understands exactly how you feel, made by musicians who've been there, and woven together by a man standing alone in the middle of a deserted road that runs through the desert of his own sadness, looking in cautious wonder at the tiny faeries of hope glittering in the atmosphere.
