Late Night with Yorgos Dousos

 

Yorgos Dousos is a multi-instrumentalist and composer located in Athens. He plays flute and clarinet to combine Greek music tradition, European jazz, and ambient electronic into an inspired musical experience. I got to hear an advance copy of his latest album - LUPUS, Love Under Pain, Upon Suffering - I knew immediately that I had to reach out to Yorgos about a guest mix. And here it is!

Here's what Yorgos has to say about this set:

“Late Night” is a small map of where my head has been living while finishing my new record. It’s the hour when things get quieter, when the room feels bigger than it is and every sound has more weight. I wanted this mix to sit in that space where breath, memory, and repetition start to blur.

It opens with my own pieces (“Marisha” and “Breath” from "LUPUS, Love Under Pain, Upon Suffering") because that’s the emotional ground I’m working from lately. All of the tracks orbit the same questions I’m dealing with on the album: what it means for sound to feel physical and intimate but also distant and ghosted; how much you can say emotionally with or without melody; and where the human breath sits inside electronics and processing.

Thanks, Yorgos, for this excellent mix!

Amiably Ambient by Daniel Hawkins

 

We've had a nice run of guest mixes lately here at Low Light Mixes world headquarters. And that streak continues will a wonderful new set from Daniel Hawkins. Here his two previous guest mixes:

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/dark-woods-by-daniel-hawkins/

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/metallic-memories/

This mix has a perfect fall vibe. Here's what Daniel says about this collection of tracks:

"As I was saving some of the songs that I liked over the past few weeks, I noticed a bunch of them were guitar pieces - so I figured that was as good a reason as any to do a themed mix.  For me the hardest part of doing the mixes is I end up with a lot of good music and have to make tough choices about what to cut from the final mix.  There are just so many great musicians out there now doing superb work.  So I just go slow and make changes - I think this is a cohesive mix with a nice flow - you be the judge."

Thanks, Daniel, for another excellent mix.

Cheers!

Berlin School EM Autumn 2025 by Erwin Broers

 

The king of Berlin School EM music, Erwin Broers, is back with a fantastic update to his regular series. This fall update just may the best yet. I listened to this while biking home from work, unsure whether it would fit the activity. Oh man, it was perfect! It kept me pedaling and focused while exposing me to fresh electronic sounds.

Here's what Erwin has to say about this set:

"Another look at what's been happening on the Electronic/Berlin School/Synth Music spectrum over the last months. 

As might be expected, a variety of styles and vibes, so listen to the whole mix and I guarantee you'll find at least a few tracks to your liking.

All music is from 2025 and from a wide variety of countries including Germany, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Poland and even Argentina!

The Lonely Bell's Autumnal Ether Mix

 

I always like to create a mix for autumn but this year I got busy and never got around to it. Thankfully The Lonely Bell has got it covered.

The Lonely Bell is Ali Murray who hails from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. He has been producing for ten years and I have been a fan since 2022's "Kingdom of the Deep." The Lonely Bell has a new album out, which is great by the way. To celebrate the new album we have this new mix.

Here what Ali says about this mix:

"As the seasons begin to change, and late summer gradually fades into the dark, cold, wet, blustery days of early autumn here on the Isle of Lewis (Scotland) - I wanted to create a guest mix of ambient tracks that aurally reflect the quiet sadness and barren beauty that fills the air (and the heart) at this time of year. These tracks have been soundtracking my days during this seasonal shift, and I find that each individual track is dense with this strange and mysterious form of autumnal melancholy that is simultaneously haunting and comforting....

The mix also coincides with the release of my latest album 'Time Beyond The Edges' - an album of collaboration pieces with fellow ambient artists and experimental composers from around the globe, which came out on Shady Ridge Records on Sept 26th. The mix is bookended by two of the tracks from this release..."

Some Good Train Songs by Paul Asbury Seaman

 

More than 8 years ago, Paul Asbury Seaman came to me with an idea for a mix. He would provide the theme and tracklist, and I would man the faders and knobs to create his first guest mix. Of course that first mix was a train-themed set.

Now, after 9 railway mixes & many hours traveling on the audio tracks, Paul brings us his tenth train-themed mix. This one is a bit different than the others so I'll let Paul tell you about it:

"To celebrate my tenth train mix for Low Light Mixes I’m doing a collection of vocal tracks. There are way too many great train songs to call this set a “Best Of,” thus the qualified title. (I have five CD-length train song mixes for my own use.) These are some of my favorites. And here’s several more to start your own playlists, that didn’t make the cut only because of time limitations: “People Get Ready” (several good versions), “City of New Orleans” (Arlo Guthrie), “Locomotive Breath” (Jethro Tull), “Long Train Runnin’” (Doobie Brothers), “The Midnight Special” (CCR), “Downtown Lights” (Annie Lennox version) and of course “Hear My Train a Comin’” by Jimi Hendrix (from the Winterland LIVE box set)."

LINKS TO PAUL'S OTHER TRAIN MIXES:

• 2017 - THE MEMORY OF TRAINS
• 2018 - GALAXY EXPRESS
• 2019 - PLACES I'VE NEVER BEEN TO - AN ODE TO HIGH-SPEED RAIL
• 2020 - LULLABIES FOR A NIGHT TRAIN
• 2021 - MYSTICAL TRAIN
• 2022 - TRAIN SIX 56
• 2023 - LAST TRAIN HOME 
• 2023 - TRAIN NO. 8 - AUTUMN EXCURSION
• 2024 - MORE TRAIN TRACKS

Thanks, Paul, for another thoughtful collection of songs. Here's to 10 more excursions on the rails.

Cheers!

FIFTH SECTOR - Blade Runner Ambience 2025

Photo by Simone Muzzi on Unsplash

I really didn't intend to follow an 80s themed mix with another mix with an 80s vibe. But I couldn't help myself because of the new album from Crows Labyrinth - Neon Scenes II: Echoes of Then https://crowslabyrinth.bandcamp.com/album/neon-scenes-ii-echoes-of-then 

The album is a follow-up to an album called "Neon Scenes I: Granular Dreams." Both albums are longform generative drone ambient pieces that have this great Blade Runner vibe. I used the first album as the jumping off point for my last Blade Runner themed mix in March 2023 - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/replicant-memories/  Upon hearing this new Crows Labyrinth album I just knew I had to create some more Blade Runner ambiance.

You're In An 80s Film Driving At Night

 

This mix started via a Spotify playlist with the same name - "You're in an 80s Film Driving at Night." I really liked the synth vibes so I created my own folder at home and began collecting tracks.

The mix has a great retro vibe even though many of the tracks are from the last 10 years. But, of course, I had to include some cuts from the time period with songs from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter & Vangelis.

Hop in your Delorean and head back to the 1980s for some retro electronic goodness.

Soundtrack for Perseid Meteor Shower 2025

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight and tomorrow night, August 12th & 13th. I like to use the Perseids as an excuse to create a spacey, ambient mix for stargazing. So here it is.

The first track I grabbed for this mix was Jeff Pearce - For The Perseids, from the Gemstones IV compilation. How could I not use that cut in a mix like this. So I decided to look for other tracks with names that would fit and it was fairly easy to find a bunch that worked. Again, how could I resist tunes called "Luminous Dust Trails" and "Night Drifters" and "Comet Tails."

Get outside and scan the skies.

ECM Favorites

 

I've been listening to the ECM record label since the 1970s. You can always count on ECM to put out interesting and sometimes great records.

My favorite ECM release is Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." It's not only my favorite ECM album, it's one of my top albums of all-time. A real desert island record for me. A few of my other favorite regular ECM artists are Steve Tibbetts, Eberhard Weber & Pat Metheny. 

We had a discussion about our favorite ECM recordings over on Mixcloud. You can read or join in the thread here - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/posts/favorite-ecm-albums/

I decided it wouyld be cool to make a mix of my top ten favorite ECM albums. I put it together in chronological order, starting with Ralph Towner & a fantastic version of Icarus. And ending with a 2017 album from Björn Meyer.

Please leave a comment with some of your favorites in the comments and enjoy this little journey through ECM.

Cheers!
