Diario

My music listening this year was highly influenced and not always positively by how easily music is available now on blogs and how much. I even did a one month downloading embargo but when it ended things went back to before. Other than that I found to my mild consternation that my musical tastes have become in synch with pitchfork.com. I guess I've become more indie in what I like and indie has become electronic. Finally the year for me was marked by the absence of any major new musical direction. My love affair with Sweden and synths continued.

After a hectic two months, I’m back with a new mixtape. It starts out with disco vibes, works its way up to heavier sounds and then slowly resolves to laidback atmospheric tunes. In brief, it’s a bit of everything electronic…condensed into 32 minutes.
