Almost Midnight

This is a mix I made a few years back while I was living in Hawaii for a friend of mine in Brooklyn. It's probably still my favorite mix, and it brings back all kinds of nostalgic feelings. It's mostly instrumental, and all really melodic, pretty tracks. This is my mix of choice when I feel like going for a late night walk and just want to soak in memories both pleasant and not. I don't know what else to say. I hope you enjoy.

Almost Midnight

Quite possibly my favorite song of all time, 'Hands' by Four Tet.

El Guincho - Alegranza

Found this guy through pitchfork, and he's great. Basically, think of a latin Panda Bear. Real rhythmic oriented w/ a lot of pretty/funky loops. Perfect for summer.

'Palmitos Park'

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

Like Pitchfork, this was easily my favorite album of last year. Panda Bear is the drummer from Animal Collective and you can definitely see the similarities, but this album is definitely unique as well. As my good friend Miguel described to me; think tribal and dub music produced by Four Tet and sung by Brian Wilson. Ummm...ya!

'Comfy in Nautica'

Susumu Yokota - Grinning Cat

I've decided to start a music blog. Mostly, this will be music from my personal collection both old and new that perhaps others of you may be interested in. To start, I decided to have one of my favorite albums of all time by Susumu Yokota. He has many great albums and I may post more in the future unless there's an overwhelming response for more.

I don't really like cats, matter of fact, I'm mildly allergic, but this album is really great. This album is all instrumental w/ a couple of voice samples I suppose. It's just a really pretty record through and through. Do it.

I couldn't find a YouTube clip from this album but this one is another favorite and gives you a good idea of what he's like, although Grinning Cat is quite different:
