isolatedmix 47 - Leandro Fresco

I never imagined an artist doing a second isolatedmix, but then again I never imagined the series would grow this big, or that the submissions would be this good.

Leandro Fresco originally contributed to the series over two years ago in January 2012, with a selection of beautiful ambient music; including many inspirations for his productions on Kompakt’s Pop Ambient series. Similar to last time, Leandro deals no complexity this time around, and serves up the perfect ambient mixtape. No thrills, just pure love and inspiration from his hometown of Buenos Aires.

Featuring familiar faces such as, Solar FieldsMarkus GuentnerMarsen Jules, Loscil, The KLF and bvdub, we shouldn’t forget that there’s millions of people out there that haven’t heard this type of music, and this kind of mix is the perfect introduction for those unlucky souls who aren’t lucky enough to experience this genre of music we have all come to love.

Lookout for more Leandro Fresco productions in the near future and give his previous isolatedmix a spin here.

“Every time I intend to do a mix of these features, my purpose is the same: to build a journey, be the most artificial and emotional as possible and to have the music lead us to a different and maybe strange place. With so many good artists and good music, it is easy to achieve. I hope you enjoy this new mix, as much as enjoyed doing it. From Buenos Aires, Argentina, I want to send a greeting to all listeners, and to A Strangely Isolated Place and all colleagues for the music!” – Leandro Fresco.

ASIP - Gestalt

 
 

There’s been some amazing techno coming out recently, and luckily I have another gig lined up in Portland where I get to showcase some of it on a big loud system. Here’s a preview mix in lead up to the Gestalt night on August 26th where i’ll play alongside some of Portland’s finest hardware house/techno musicians including Acid Farm (Live), JAK (DJ), Asss (Live) and Minigorille (Live Parametric Visual Synthesis).

I wanted to highlight a few of the tracks in this mix as they belong within some amazing EPs/albums that have just been released. Check out both the Tozzy and the tdel albums on Bandcamp below – amazing deep techno. A big thanks to Pete Srdic – my very own bandcamp A&R! And of course, the more recent Yuka album on Silent Season is a monster of organic techno.

If you live in or near Portland be sure to come see the night on August 26th at Holocene.
