Slumber Session: Phaeleh by i-D published on 2014-03-05T15:37:49Z After Phaeleh's legendary <a href="http://bit.ly/1hKWqmy"> i-DJ mix</a> there was no way we could pass up an opportunity to have him back. This time he takes on the Slumber Session and packs in a tonne of unreleased exclusive material to deliver this beautiful, ethereal soundtrack to help you journey through your dreams. Take time, kick back, zone out and drift off. This one is special. https://soundcloud.com/phaeleh Read this personal message from the man himself: "This Slumber Session mix gave me a great opportunity to make a playlist of something I would want to listen to when unwinding, or to just fall asleep to. I wanted it to be able to exist in the background, without focus, whilst at the same time having elements of detail and beauty scattered amongst the layers of sound unravelling as the mix progresses. In some ways you can think of it as a soundtrack to a dream. There are moments of calm flowing smoothly into more abstract sections. Textures build to go from sparse emotive landscapes to darker, brooding moments of tension. I wanted it to be dynamic, taking in a variety of styles and influences, whilst giving the listener a coherent experience and painting some interesting images in their minds. It also gave me the chance to put in a lot of unreleased tracks of mine. I make a wide variety of styles outside of my normal output, so it was great to have an outlet for some of that material. There are also a lot of field recordings I've made over the last few years throughout the mix, including some from my travels. The opening section of music features the sounds of walks in Sydney and San Francisco, which at the time was just some subconscious grabbing of sound recordings without any kind of artistic purpose - it just sounded cool at the time. It seemed fitting when I realised where the sounds were from, as the mix would have been the perfect playlist for a lot of my sleep deprived travels. I ended up getting so involved putting together this mix that there's a lot of live tweaks of outboard reverb and delay units layered on certain tracks to try and get the sense of space I wanted to achieve and give the mix some breathing space. I find that ambient music can be incredibly beautiful and achieve the range of emotions other music can. I hope that you enjoy the musical selection and can immerse yourself in it, even with the emphasis away from the hooks and rhythms of traditional electronic dance music." - Phaeleh Tracklist: Phaeleh - Intro Oneohtrix Point Never - Grief and Repetition Future Sound of London - Everyone In The World Is Doing Something Without Me The Flashbulb - My Life Of Loving Ghosts Victor Gama - Huyra Global Communication - 4 14 Aphex Twin - Spots Plaid - Tak3 Four Tet - First Thing Phaeleh - Untitled Brian Eno - Stars Autechre - Notwo Boards of Canada - Open The Light Aphex Twin - Z Twig Brian Eno - 1-1 Leftfield - 21st Century Poem Steve Reich - Pulses Paul Giovanni - Willow's Song Phaeleh - Untitled Phaeleh - Tides Autechre - Caliper Remote Boards of Canada - In The Annexe Phaeleh - Ghosts of Memories Phaeleh - Untitled Tool - Parabol Nitin Sawhney - Nothin More Phaeleh - Untitled Burial - Night Bus Autechre - Bronchusevenmx Aphex Twin - Rhubarb Global Communication - 9 39 Jeeroj - Ambient Seagull Autechre - Nine Global Communicatin - 14 31 Plaid - faceme Boards of Canada - Beware The Friendly Stranger Nightmares on Wax - Time (To Listen) Phaeleh - Untitled Memotone - The Home We Can't Go Back To Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) Phaeleh - Make You Feel Philip Glass - Violin Concerto No1 Mvt. 2 Phaeleh - Untitled Various Production - Deadman Autechre - Overand Memotone - Empty Platform Aphex Twin - Blue Calx facebook.com/iDmagazineofficial twitter.com/iD_magazine http://i-d.co Genre Slumber Session Comment by Brandon Emerson 🔥 2024-04-17T13:24:18Z Comment by ØMNi Fuck yes 2024-03-23T17:18:35Z Comment by KOSTER heaven 2024-03-07T07:09:41Z Comment by Booie Bowers One of the greatest mixes of all time <3 2023-12-07T08:46:00Z Comment by ALTUNA ART ❤️🙏❤️ 2023-06-10T11:50:24Z Comment by coffeehottee Pure ecstasy 2022-08-23T03:34:53Z Comment by Vldk aphex twin <3<3 2022-06-30T00:27:54Z Comment by Mailme These sounds made my dogs bark 2021-09-26T06:35:29Z Comment by christian saborío quirós graciasssss!!! 2021-05-30T04:15:50Z Comment by DubbaKush so beautiful 🔥 2020-08-25T05:32:03Z Comment by Alex Krivtchenok PHILIP GLASS MY DOG YO.
