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:

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..."
