Mixtape #136


A talented, versatile and visionary multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, JP Coimbra has an impressive body of work spanning over two decades. Vibra, his first solo album under his own name, re-released worldwide last year, is a beguiling, delicate and adventurous instrumental album, fusing together his different musical influences, including neoclassical, jazz and electronic music. Needless to say we're stoked that JP compiled this month's wonderful mix, with songs from artists that have inspired him. Enjoy!

Mixtape #60

With March comes a new mixtape and this time round, German instrumental electronic duo Sankt Otten take the driver's seat. Their eight albums, from the first in 1999 to the latest Engtanz Depression, which came out only a few days ago, form a mesmerizing journey, closely linked to the pioneers of krautrock, ambient and early electronica. So it comes as no surprise that the mix put together by Stephan Otten is packed full with gems from exceptional artists, ranging from Harald Grosskopf and Maserati to Kraftwerk and Robert Fripp. Let's dance!
