I tend to spend a very long time researching for and compiling Gentle Daps mixes, so I decided to challenge myself to compile, record, and publish a mix all in one sitting. This gave me an opportunity to revisit some favorites and not get too caught up in the discovery process. It was oddly satisfying to breeze through this and reach right for the good stuff. The result of this experiment is—surprise!—a pretty straightforward ambient and new age playlist. (Nothing wrong with that though, right?)

English soft rock aficionado Deejay Greenman has returned with his sequel to last month’s Write Your Lucky Number (Gentle Daps XXIV). He picks up where he left of and offers up another hour of rare ‘70s-centric soft rock of the supremely hushed, mellow variety. These two mixes are treasures, and I am thrilled they are part of the Gentle Daps canon.

Brighton-based Deejay Greenman caught my ear a few months ago with his excellent Mixcloud series of smooth AOR. I knew his knack for picking out wonderfully soft adult rock from the ‘60s, '70s, and '80s would make him a great fit for Gentle Daps. Lucky for us, he heard my call and put together this enchanting entry to the series. He’s calling it Write Your Lucky Number.

Celebrating three years of Gentle Daps.

Gainesville, Florida-based producer Natasha Home (aka Sunmoonstar) has been on the Gentle Daps radar since wowing us with a pair of great albums in 2015. Now she has offered up her own entry in the series by blessing us with 93 minutes of ambient and new age splashed with a few bright peaks of experimental pop and classical.

This years’ Gentle Daps Halloween special features dreary, quiet obscuro, goth, and film scores. It includes a couple of creepy crawly Legowelt classics, a spooky Bowie cover, a few first-wave 4AD ethereal pieces, and much more.
