Tycho - Past is Prologue (feat. Casey Chanatry)
I was originally planning to blog about the Tycho classic original version of this song, that was until I gave this version a listen and reconsidered.
Casey Chanatry has kept the original Tycho part of the recording relatively intact, save for his additional guitar playing which has been layered on top. The guitar incorporates some romantic chord harmonising that is reminiscent of Santana in his prime.
The free association guitar playing is soothing and as always Tycho delivers top notch downtempo.
Enjoy.

Apparat - Sweet Unrest
This track by German DJ Apparat is guaranteed to put you in a good mood.
It builds layer upon layer but it still maintains a mellow wordless ambience.
Sweet Unrest is the opener to Apparat’s eighth and most popular album, The Devil’s Walk. The album was voted iTunes’ electronic album of the year for 2011 and it is well worthy of a listen.
For fans of Tycho and Mountain Range.

Mountain Range - With Skates
Twinkling, glitchy and ambient.
Every song on the Mountain Range’s new EP A Heart Upon rewards the listener with lush soundscapes - But perhaps none are as immediately gratifying as the opener With Skates.
I could spend a good 1,000 words describing the enchanting elements of the music, but I don’t think they could do it much justice. In the end you really need to listen to the track yourself to get a proper understanding of how an mp3 file can glimmer and come to life in your speakers as you listen.
I have such confidence in this song that I began writing this piece halfway through my first listen. This one is going to be on repeat for a while to come. Visit Leeds based musician Mountain Range’s bandcamp where you can name your price for a copy of the EP.
Enjoy.
Tycho - A Walk
I came across this song about 15 minutes ago and I knew I had to share it with you.
Scott Hansen is the artist behind Tycho. Based out of San Francisco, he makes the kind of music that would fit a never ending sunset, or the sort of music you might listen to after accomplishing something you thought was impossible.
This song is a newbie, so feel free to claim the find as your own. Just make sure you pass on the love to others.
