It’s been a hectic few weeks at Blunt HQ. Apart from the usual skulduggery with gigs and radio shows and all the rest of it, theres also been a fair amount of day to day head crushing stress for all of us in our respective lives of late. It’s been a combination of credit card bills, car M.O.T’s, flight bookings, blocked dishwashers, unreliable computers, and lost phono cables to name but a few. I for one, have not been the healthiest of bunnies over the past few weeks, which hasn’t helped. I figured there was only one way to combat this, and that was to record a chill out set.

I named it “Transistor Breathing” (for lack of a better name - and it’s predominantly electronic sounds, so it seemed rather apt).It did the job. I recorded this, and sat down to listen to it back. Within 10 minutes I was lying down, still listening, and closing my eyes.

The tunes in this mix are mainly in an electronic vein (with a little bit of Massive Attack thrown in. ‘Cos i like it).
