This mix goes deep fast, and stays there for the all-too-brief 30 minutes we've given it to shine. planning this mix around leyland kirby's heart-rending "stralauer peninsula" from his already-classic triple album "sadly, the future is no longer what it was", we dug up a barely-remembered foil to present opposite that track: a kit clayton live set internet-broadcast over a decade ago by betalounge. the crusty ambient beginnings of that set and its creaking intimation of beat wend their way into the mix we present here in an unlikely but highly satisfying counterpoint to the ever-recurring refrain of kirby's track. a few other friends lend texture to this monumental meeting, notably the stunning "41.8677,-87.6065" from joshua schnable's "dark sky movement", due out any day on EMA CMM LTD. get on their mailing list to snag one of these ultralimited discs, which features the moving conclusion to this mix.
