Yup, it’s finally here. All your hard work and patient waiting has paid off. Time to chill the f out to some of the finest mellow beats the PNW has to offer.

This mix has been available at the Chillography site for a while, but I’m also posting it here in an effort to consolidate all of my mixes in one place. One sunny summer afternoon, at a lovely Seattle waterfront park, this mix was the first of a full day of sun-worshipping chillout sets by some of our favorite Chillography guests. It really was an amazing free event, and I’m already busy formulating our next free park gathering. Photos of said amazingness live here, here, here, and here. Full details on Chillography 201 can be found here.

Holy hot sauce! The seminal (and much missed) goa/psytrance band The Green Nuns of the Revolution are resurfacing with a chilled out remix album, ala Hallucinogen in Dub.

The Underground psychedelic trance mavericks from England who caused joyous havoc at many an International party in the late 90’s are experiencing a resurgence of interest for which they have changed their socks. PAN ELECTRIC is the artist name for Matt Coldricks’ projects on Absolute Ambient records . The Pan Electric approach of variations rather than re-mixes allows for more creative interpretations of melodies and moods and marks a departure form the rather tired culture of remixes. Quirky, dubby and laced with colour, drama and humour this album is vivid, smells of carnivals, bonfires and tastes like the best spontaneous night in you’ve had. Available from February 2010 and available in liquid form at most leading horse stables…

Younger Brother is hard at work on their next album. I’m a huge fan of both of their previous full lengths, but their most recent release, Last Days of Gravity, is especially good. Another Younger Brother album on the horizon is definitely something to look forward to.

Here’s an awesome one hour set video from Beardyman.

Here is a recording of the my live Leave Trace set from the Oscillate ambient showcase at Chop Suey on Sept. 9, 2009. It was my first solo live set, playing all original music, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It features some material you may have heard in my Regression Session mix, but there was also a good chunk of newer material in the set. Enjoy!

Yes! It appears that Flying Rhino Records, one of the originators of Goa and Psytrance and one of many of such labels to fail during The Great Downloading Storm of 20XX, is resurfacing in the new digital download era as Flying Rhino Digital. I stumbled across this 4.5 minute preview on Soundcloud, showcasing a new modern sound from the Rhinos, but still containing the class and maturity that can only be gained from experience. I’m really looking forward to this release and to hear what else the Digital Rhinos have in store for us.
