It's almost Christmas, so why not!
In December 2000, The Big Chill hosted one of the most memorable concerts I have had the pleasure to be involved with. Tom Middleton, our resident DJ through the years and now esteemed club and yoga session DJ, composer and sleep therapist, fulfilled an ambition. He got to score and perform two of the tracks from the seminal album 76:14 by Global Communication, his project at the time with Mark Pritchard. Tom invited me to play the DJ warm-up set for him, which I really enjoyed doing, along with Muffled Visions images on the night. The resulting mix ‘Deep and Crisp and Even’ has remained popular since its inception and I'm happy to say, has already received several thousand downloads from a variety of sites. It’s also one of my most loved mixes and seems to suit a variety of occasions. I made it for my children, Ella and Joey.
To mark the 20th anniversary, I revisited the Deep and Crisp and Even mix I created for that iconic night and put some DIY visuals to it, something I have always wanted to do. Enforced lockdown here on Paros gave me a few days spare time to essentially create a film of slides around the mix (original photos by myself as well as found footage on the web). It clocks in at 62 minutes, a sound and vision scape through choral, classical, electronica, piano music and more.
And two more seasonal mixes thrown into the Christmas stocking with love
