Two weeks ago our mix series reached its half century, but this week is no less significant as our mix series editor, Pete Hellyer, is leaving oki-ni after years of sterling service. After giving birth to it over a year ago, in scene similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger giving birth in Junior, Pete has raised the mix series through its adolescence and into maturity.
"ETHEREAL is a snapshot of my head featuring artists that I’ve recently listened to on rotation, such as Balam Acab, Active Child, Nguzunguzu, The Weeknd and “internet sensation” Lana Del Ray.
The mix is tied together by reoccurring motifs – lush strings, chattering percussion, and R&B vocals – and while pitched rigidly at 120bpm it moves promiscuously from future-soul to melodic-bass music, before reaching its apex with house music.
Not aimed at the dancefloor or a lounge chair, the mix is probably best for those noisy tube rides with your iPod turned up loud. Let the synths take you away to celestial spheres." Uploaded 6 months ago -
