Guest Playlist: Mytrip - 13 (not just) ambient tracks

   Our series of monthly Guest Playlists continue with this excellent mix of "13 ambient (and not just) tracks" from Angel Simitchiev / Mytrip. We recently presented his second album "Filament", which will have it's official release on 20th November, this Sunday at Sofia's Mixtape5 club - together with Evitceles, Ghost 303 and Cyberian. More info for the party and how to join here.

Read below what the artist gave us as his personal notes on the mix, and check the tracklist.

   Mytrip: "It’s easy to come up with a playlist of ‘x’ ambient tracks, especially if that’s what you listen to or write the most. But it’s another type of travel to find the drifting sense of freedom of ambient in other genres.

   It’s fairly easy to find ambient in the cold and isolationist title theme of Super Metroid for SNES, the deformed choirs of Tim Hecker’s Music of the Air or even in Polygon Ring’s Compressionism. It however takes a bit of diving between the beats to breathe the sparsity in Lorn’s Broken Mantra, the lo-fi air in Sexans by Canada’s mystery man DROPXLIFE or get high on the blurry Sofia vibes of SELF and his Solar Flare 3 A.M.

   Why is my own track Soft / Outer there too? As it’s how I like things to end these days - with a blank stare and overdriven synth chords."
