Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 53 - Ryan Farish This week we welcome Ryan Farish to the podcast, who has been producing music under his own name since the days of MP3.com, where he was downloaded roughly 1.8 million times. This early success on the OG of streaming platforms started a long career in music, both in commercial work for brands like Audi and Bang & Olufsen and as a solo artist, with early tunes gravitating toward classic chillout and later into more 4/4 dancefloor work. His early chillout sound takes us back to the golden years of Cafe Del Mar and the endless, amazing "chill" compilations that defined the mid-90s and early 00s. His mix is a bit of a nod towards the classic with some modern touches, perfect for a glass of sangria and a sunlamp - just pretend you are in Ibiza watching the sunset.

Lisa Gerrard) by Chicane Prelude by Ryan Farish An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno Halcyon by Ryan Farish Strength From Inside by Above & Beyond Satellite by Ryan Farish Green (Original Mix) by Fourtet Floating Above the Below by Ryan Farish Harpsichord by Fourtet Wilderness by Ryan Farish Saman by Olafur Arnolds Afterglow by Ulrich Schnauss, Jonas Munk Energy by Above & Beyond Mechanical Beauty by Ryan Farish One Time by Itona Dream by Synesthete Find You by Ryan Farish, Christian Burns

Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 52 - Factory Planets (LoFi + House Mix) Well, maybe we just should be honest with ourselves and call this a biweekly podcast? Not giving up on weekly just yet, but there might be a downshift for 2022's Season 3. Anyway, this week we have put together a special mix from a new project by tech house producer Ben A and Chic Hooligan (aka David Ireland) that blends together some more laid back lofi grooves and then picks up a bit midway through with some chilled out house that weaves between afro/organic. It pairs well with 12-year-old rum, one ice cube, and no chaser. Sip up, lay back, and enjoy.

Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 51 - Dot (bitbird records)   Delays, delays - we know, but this one was worth the wait. This week's guest mix is from up-and-coming producer Dot, based out of Los Angeles, and bitbird recording artists. She is a triple threat with production chops, vocal abilities, and a few instruments on her resume. She is the kind of artist that is bound to break down boundaries and bring a fresh perspective. Her mix is as eclectic as her productions, with various textures and moods perfect for the transition of seasons. So grab something nutmeggy, warm and fallish - it's shoulder season, after all.  Ambient Meditations 50 Tracklist - Dot Mount Kimbie - Carbonated Teebs - Slumber Dot - Loneliness Hits Different Now Hiatus Kaiyote - Creations Part Two Taylor McFerrin - Degrees of Light James Blake - Lullaby for My Insomniac Sonnymoon - Just Before Dawn Yves Tumor - Spirit in Prison Dot - As The Crow Flies Raays - Prelude Dot - Want To Say Four Tet - Circling Aphex Twin - Blue Calx Daedelus - Stampede Me

Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 50 - Lomond Campbell   Escape to the misty highlands of Scotland with this latest mix from Lomond Campbell, one of our most soothing and eclectic mixes yet. Unless you are very well versed in the world of ambient music, many of these artists will be new to you in the best of ways. Campbell has delivered an ethereal collection of cuts that are perfect fall companions for a walk outside or merely sitting by the fire enjoying a fine Scotch, the peatier, the better on this occasion. So go find a bottle of Laphroaig 10 year, and bask in this mix; you might even feel some cold condensation on your nose by the end of it all.  Ambient Meditations 50 Tracklist - Lomond Campbell Sean o duibhir a’ ghleanna - Nuala Kennedy & Tara Breen Nighttime Rainbows - Toygasm Descent - Blanck Mass Pelog Blogg - Undermedvetenheten Adnos III - Eliane Radigue In Balgay Sillhouettes - Andrew Wasylyk Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt - Holly Herndon Azukiiro No Kaori - Susumu Yokota Reaction Diffusion - Hannah Peel Landstrasse 2020 - Hainbach Infinite Spin - Lomond Campbell Jojobell - Maarja Nuut lullaby for Klaus - Thor and Friends Behind her name chestnuts fall forever - Sofie Birch In The Fog III - Tim Hecker Berlin Nights - Neil Cowley Tennen - Hania Rani Rocky Mountains - Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind We Go Slow - Lomond Campbell Hope Dealers – Klein

Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 49 - AK   For many artists, music is a cathartic process; for some, it's a process to keep themselves in check and balanced. For Aljosha Konstanty, also known as AK, it's all of the above. Music for AK is a way to cope with anxiety, and his recent signing to Han Solo's bitbird label is a testament to the fact that it's working. "Sunrays" is the first single for AK on the label and proves that beautiful ambient soundscapes can exist alongside a 4/4 beat in a way that is soothing and slightly uplifting. We have always been huge fans of this balance on Ambient Meditations, and we look forward to hearing more from AK in the future on this label and in general. His guest mix hits the sweet spot of dreamy and uplifting, a perfect mix to pick you up like a warm cup of black tea spiked with a little whiskey. Enjoy. Ambient Meditations 49 Tracklist - AK  Magic City Hippies - Diamond AK - Sunrays Salute - Feel the Same Bicep - Apricots AK - Floating Into Space Bonobo - Linked Rome in Silver - Like You Fred again.. - Billie (Loving Arms) Men I Trust - Serenade of Water Zes - Avenue Aparde - Loom Nosaj Thing - Nightcrawler Oneohtrix Point Never - Long Road Home The Micronaut - Archery 冥丁 - Nami 

Ambient Meditations S2 Vol 48 - Rena Jones   Getting back into gear after Labor Day is no easy task, especially when it still feels like summer (well, it technically is).

Her new single "A New Dawn Awaits" is out today, and you can check it out below, and her full-length album will be coming up on November 5th.
