Aural Opiate- Minotaur Shock Mix



Just a gorgeous mix from Minotaur Shock for the Alpha-ville podcast. The mix starts with a slightly dusty piano texture and then emanates hypnotic loops like ripples traveling from the point of impact in water until a spidery guitar breaks the spell much later.
This thing imparts a thick auditory fog to the room and is the official soundtrack for somnambulists methinks. Beware of listening while driving or operating heavy machinery. Lovely stuff as usual (see earlier post for more: Beautiful and Clean- MySpace?).

Update: I don't know what happened to this fantastic mix, but it has disappeared. You missed a real treat if you're just now seeing this post- sorry.

Update to the update: It's back; catch it while you can...

I'm Not by Panda Bear (Phaseone Remix)

Incredible joint- watch for the thick, meaty bassline with the spooky octave double later on in the tune: http://www.thesixtyone.com/s/O8UAWafrubQ/

This guy's grooves are in another dimension, like say "The Red Room" in Twin Peaks, but less menacing.
