One more for this summer I think. I mixed this live Friday night as it is much more beat orientated, albeit at that nice 100-ish bpm tempo. Now that the timeline reaches the disco and new wave era, we have tracks that are more traditionally thought of as cosmic, balearic, etc.
This year, I’m attempting to distil the essentials out of my unwieldy music collection into a couple of new mix series. No surprise that one of the subjects will be the ever-present 'cosmic' tag.
Cosmic music (for me) is the genre between all genres, a vibe that can be found everywhere from folk to goth to disco. The centre of gravity around which it all orbits is the 1980s, & there is definitely a new wave/post punk/leftfield disco idea at the heart of it, but when combing through everything I've tagged 'cosmic', there's more than that.
