Today is a bit dark, I”™m afraid. Got some stuff going on that I won”™t bore you with (side note: if any of you see a small ginger kitten wondering the streets of Tredworth, pick him up and gimme a call), and it”™s bled into my playlist so I”™m sorry but this one”™s not a workday pick-me-up.

I won”™t write too much about why these songs are personal to me, but I”™ll pick out some of my standouts. I hope that some of the choices resonate with you too. That”™s what I love about this whole Spotisfaction endeavour – it gives such an amazing insight into someone”™s whole being. So thanks for sharing with us, and allowing us to do the same.

I”™m really proud of the transition between Benjamin Finger”™s “Woods of Broccoli” and Nils Frahm”™s “Ambre”. Those two songs are completely complimentary to each other, almost two halves of the same track. I”™m not sure where I heard of Nils Frahm, but I gave Benjamin Finger a shot after a mammoth click-through session on Spotify. Very glad that I did. Going out to buy the “Woods of Broccoli” LP ASAP. Gentle nostalgia and breathtakingly sad piano parts make both of these tracks jump out at me.

Adrian Crowley is someone I”™ve never really given enough credit to. He”™s got such a haunting sound. “Theft By Starlight” is depressing, soul-destroying, and yet so utterly beautiful it hurts. In-fact, this whole section of the playlist I find very tough to listen to, but by equal measures so rewarding too.

The start of the “glitchy” section of the playlist is marked by Beneva vs Clark Nova. I”™m not going to lie, I”™d never heard of them but I randomly found them on a Mixloud experimental/glitch cloudcast. Please make sure you check out Mixcloud – it”™s completely amazing. Moving into this latter half of the playlist, I wanted to try and get over my self-induced slump by playing some tracks I”™d either not heard in a while (in the case of Autechre, Venetian Snares and Amon Tobin) or wanted to explore a bit more. The tracks in this half of the list represent a time in my life just after I finished Uni, but before I found full-time work. These tracks are permiated by a solid theme, but are hectic and unfocussed at times, brutally self-indulgant at others, relentlessly forward-thinking and always challenging. I think the music here reflects my life during that time a lot more than I realised. The whole purpose of including these tracks here was to act as a reminder that I”™m not that same person, nor do I have to be. I know that sounds wanky and pretentious, but hey.

Finished with one of my all-time favourite Aphex Twin tracks, “Blue Calx”. Stunning.

Love and stuff.
