Laurel Halo

i had completely forgotten her vocals worked in and out of hour logic too, i think i thought they were a sample at the time

Absolutely Brad - one of her finest records too

Hour Logic EP taken off Spotify for some dumb reason.

Don't think she will ever top it for me though unless she made a whole album of Strawberry Skies or Holodays.

strawberry skies is dope

also that kuedo - halo collapsing in space remix is some next level shit

Hour logic definitely up there nashwan, hell one song sounds like Tekken music

Carcass is such a motherfucker of a song

I'm revisiting Quarantine for the first time in years because I liked the new album so much. it's so claustrophobic and unpleasant - like it's a great record, but also kind of a jarring experience. I remember allmusic called it like a soundtrack to a science fiction nightmare, which is a good lens to view the record through imo (especially when considering that album cover!)

pretty good

picked up the CD today

first listen: extremely dope

how is it that nickB posted "tru" and "sweetie" six years ago?!?!?

weird browser glitch i guess

second, third listen - still dope

kicks ass

best mix ever

this is kinda getting me high

This is great! Some of her stuff can be a bit too esoteric for me but I think this is very approachable. "Temptation" bangs.

Great mix, although it left me feeling a bit woozy.

right? it's genuinely a mood-alterer.

It doesn't exactly have a lot of moments of firm ground to cling to.

i actually just went through and pulled the unmixed versions of my fave tracks for closer inspection; that would be the Parris, Ikonika, Red Axes/CAR, Nick León, Dario Zenker, Kiki Kudo, Via Maris and Halo originals... most of which hail from the mini-EP I suppose.

I like it a lot and it feels very much like a whole -- there really aren't so much "stand out tracks" for me although there are moments. Especially good toward the end.

TBH though listening to it emphasized to me how much better and more interesting Halo's music is than a lot of her selections.

xp agree

ikonika one is a slapper

whole mix sounds v smudged and dirty

This is pretty much everything I want from a mix. Who else is doing smooth, trippy techno these days?

call super comes to mind

finally listening to this. it's awesome.

it seems like rough machine beats with an electro slap / crack and a lot of texture is very much the techno flavor of the moment doesn't it

She definitely does something to process the tracks in order to make them sound more uniform I think and give them all that “smudged” quality as flopson says. It’s striking how seamless it all is — sometimes I can’t tell what elements are from which track during a transition.

it's just good mixing homes

yea this is really good

she hosted a really awesome nts session recently

i listened to this really stoned last night and it was p wonderful. delighted by "just made some jazz music" every single time

this seems like an ideal thing to listen to really stoned

it's just good mixing homes

Also I'm sure there was some mixing & mastering done on the mix as a whole

this seems like an ideal thing to listen to really stoned

lol yep

I really want to see her live, why do DJs/electronic artists have to do such late shows

um

alexa what is a nightclub
