I have found voluminous experimental and ambient music mixes on Mixcloud from this prolific label. These are worth checking out for adventurous but listenable music, artist, and label discovery.

This is an enthralling spooky 2-hour odyssey. Perfect for your Halloween run-up. Between Two Points is a monthly transMIXion by Los Angeles based sound artist Richard Chartier for Dublab. A beginning, an end and the layered transitional sonic flow enclosed, ‘between two points’ explores textures, tones, place, and space, featuring experimental, avant-garde, ambient works from […]

This wonderful mix rides an in between line of frightening industrial and melancholic intrigue. And, there’s even a smattering of dub techno sprinkled into the recipe. Bonus. Perfect for gray Monday mornings when one is feeling like a replicant. From the Secret Thirteen intro paragraph: “Rosa Damask is the alias of Nastia Reigel, a Russian […]

She is a member of the groups F Ingers and Tarcar, and formerly cult Melbourne outfit Mole House. Her output on one of my favorite labels, Blackest Ever Black is scintillating. Best regards, Dave […]

Travis Just of experimental opera group Object Collection records a mix exploring impulsive creativity and the human voice in all its unfettered variations. This is truly a wonderfully weird and experimental mix. Listen and you won’t be bored (unless you are head dead). Best regards, David M. Wesley – Porto, Portugal

Modyfier is an Artist’s platform: it’s an idea acting as energy, it’s an experiment in accrual (as a collection), it’s an attitude that rides creativity and freedom. The Process Series relies on referral as people who participate each suggest someone else, creating its form, shifting in directions I would not be able to steer alone. […]
