b'White Light 29 - DJ Ayres\\n\\nI grew up listening to a lot of obnoxious music (rap, punk, and rave tapes, mostly). But on Sunday nights I always listened to the Hearts of Space show on public radio. When I was younger, I listened in bed, on my headphones, but once I was driving age, I would listen in the car, driving the hour and a half back to Natchez after debaucherous weekends in Jackson, the closest \\u201ccity\\u201d where anything was going on. The host would play an hour of what he called \\u201cexperimental electronic compositions of a contemplative nature\\u201d but it was really just highbrow chillout music. I can\\u2019t really say why, but for my White Light mix I was pulled back to that place. Maybe it\\u2019s from listening to Untrue so many times.\\n\\nWith a few exceptions, this is all music from the last couple of years, and most of it has plenty of bass. I mixed more by feeling rather than by tempo, on the breakdowns, so each song sort of melts into the next, which was definitely the style on Hearts of Space. I did a lot of digging around to find all this music, so I\\u2019m leaving out the artist names, in the hopes that if you hear something you like, you\\u2019ll do the same. But I do want to plug the last song, \\u201cMadre No Llores,\\u201d which is by Munchi, coming out on T&A in the Fall.\\n\\nTracklisting:\\n\\nTest Me For A Reason\\nSet To Cycle\\nVaccine (remix)\\nOne For The Heads Who Remember\\nNeon Speech\\nGrounded\\nTimeless edit\\nMoth\\nVessel\\nSerged\\nDoors of Perception\\nFootnotes\\nBeacon (remix)\\nFlim\\nRock Bottom\\nTrist\\nMadre, No Llores\\n\\nMore Info on DJ Ayres:\\nwww.djayres.com\\nwww.itstherub.com\\nwww.tandarecords.com\\n\\nPlease visit www.whitelightmixes.com, where you can download all the mixes and read about the contributing artists.
