Mixtape #171

01 May 2025


We’re kicking off May with a stellar mixtape from Joan Arnau Pàmies, the brilliant Catalan composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose fearless approach to sound knows no bounds. His work stretches across genres and forms, including free improvisation, electroacoustic music, avant-pop, contemporary classical, jazz, ambient and beyond. Over his 15-year career, Pàmies has set himself apart as a dynamic and versatile artist, defying genre constraints and cultivating a unique musical voice within an open, exploratory creative space. Last month, Pàmies released Guidelines/Fonaments, a deeply personal, immersive and spellbinding album. We’re thrilled to have him at the helm of this month’s mix, offering a glimpse into the influences and sonic realms that fuel his boundless creativity. Press play and enjoy!
