Whitelabrecs 2019(so far)


I made a list of my favorite ambient albums of the first half of 2019 and noticed that there were 6 releases from the Whitelabrecs label on it. Harry Towell, who records as Spheruleus, runs Whitelabrecs and he has done a great job expanding the roster of artists and getting better and better every year.

So to celebrate all these excellent recordings I decided to make a mix using all 2019 Whitelabrecs releases. You can find Whitelabrecs on Bandcamp here...

Here are all the albums used in this mix...











One quick side note - the first track in this mix, Lucky by anthene, sounds like Eno's Ascent reborn in 2019.

Cheers!

The Interstellar Radio Station said...

Relaxing and ambient yes, can even qualify as a sleeper mix. It plays theoretically every 8 days on the radio station, but do I know when its airing ? No. Only when I hear the brashness of the Loux do I think "that’s that Whitlebrecs mix that's playing", which is why I haven't paid attention to the stereo while I'm working. One could say it epitomizes ambient because nothing catches the ear. Would go so as far as to say it is "too ambient": after 223 plays over the course of 4 years, I am still clueless as to when it plays, and therefore I have decided to take it down from the station's repertoire for the moment.
