Narcosonic Tactical Ambient Sleep Pack

I’m pleased to roll out the Narcosonic Tactical Ambient sleep pack, a series of 4×2-hour mixes optimized with sounds for an all-night schedule of nonstop soporific sonics. Now that Sleeper Hits IV is available you can create a nocturnal listening program by queuing up Sleeper Hits volumes 1-4 mixes for over eight hours of hypnogogic synthesis, otherworldly sounds, and dream sequences. All mixes designed and sleep-tested at DarkArk SleepLab. Beatless discoveries await, delivered via soundscapes comprised of only the most memorable REM-worthy selections.

Recent Mixes + Autumn Activity

Some news and a few new mixes to share. Binaural Sunset is the latest 2-hour session of unrestricted exploration into new sounds, including a few of the usual suspects if you’re a regular listener, but also introducing several unexpected surprises. Check out Binaural Sunset via the Mixcloud stream or direct download.

Next up is another guest mix for Vykhod Sily. A 60 minute follow-up to my 2017 edition for the podcast. This one covers ground quickly, starting off in an immersive blend of sonic textures but soon migrating to darker areas, until finally resurfacing. Choose your host: SoundCloud :: Hearthis :: MixCloud :: iTunes :: Spotify

Last Saturday I was invited to play music at Murasaki Sake Lounge. Look for a podcast of Murasaki session #3 coming up. Meanwhile: Murasaki sessions 1 & 2 stream or download.

Also there’s an upcoming guest Phonaut mix for m50 and WNUR-FM in the Chicago area. This one will contain everything from more upbeat techno to beatless atmospherics and blended experimentation. Date is TBA.

Finally, since we are here in November, 2019, I will be presenting a live rendition of my alternate soundtrack DJ mix of android ambient for the 1982 landmark sci-fi film Blade Runner at a private screening event here in Chicago. Read how to sync the movie along to the mix which is available via stream or download here. This special edition using the Final Cut version of the film for optimal visual sync. Session comprised only of music that might exist within the world of this visionary futurist film.
