guest mix: junkyard angel (solace of delirium [+bonuses])

Admittedly, I search out some odd music a lot of times, just to keep my ear sharp. I am always really stoked by something that can capture my full attention or sit in the background, but it's very hard for music to have an equal footing in each camp. There are even few mixes that can keep my attention musically, inspiring me to search the artists involved, and have me floored from the beginning to the end with an anxious anticipation of each approaching colorful scene. Now, I have to say that I post mixes that I wish I had created myself. When I hear these mixes, I am happy that someone created this with the hopes that anyone would possibly hear this, not even realizing that this someone was me. I like to think that they made it for me, because its mood fits whatever I'm feeling at the time, as if to say 'here's the current soundtrack for your life's situation'. Those kinds of mixes stay in your head, swimming around, building your addiction to their sonic offerings.

I am way proud to have an opportunity to release some music by someone that I respect as a person, artist, and musician. This mix was presented by my request to JUNKYARD ANGEL. In receiving this mix, I got to converse (a bit extensively) with Junkyard Angel, which is always the best part. I was afforded the opportunity to exchange listening histories, speak of what drives him artistically, and hear some general things about his life. I is an absolute inspiration to realize that people on the other side of the pond have the same interest, aspirations, and commitments. It is even more inspiring to know that we share similar musical tastes and that music is a very powerful and life-defining force for us. Junkyard Angel is a musician's musician, fully capable of weaving the same magical fabric that inspired him (you can hear and download his compositions HERE; we've even talked about some collaborations, which I'm REALLY stoked about). 

The sounds that Junkyard Angel put together lay somewhere between ambient, mystery, and a twist of happy nightmares. Since I heard the very first mix from him, I've been taken in and elated to have found all new music that I had not yet discovered. And that's a high for me. Every mix by Junkyard Angel is aural bliss, and I present you with my favorite (you can snag 2 more mixes below via my Podbean page). I've used these mixes consciously and subconsciously, and they are effective in both arenas. Take it in, and enjoy it.Thanks, Junkyard Angel, for the opportunity.
