Monthly podcast: Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures

Curated by A Gap Between, Episode 20 is like a long-due vacation, if not a short one. Straight from the horse’s mouth:

This particular episode is a soundtrack for an imaginative getaway from the dregs of stress and heartache. And although I probably can’t break away from my routine anytime soon, I think this mix will certainly allow for a great escape in and of itself. I hope it provides the same escape for you.

Listening Pleasures episode 19 has arrived just in time for your mid-autumn adventures. Curated by The Bear and The Sea, this mix promises to be a journey in sound, bouncing all over a beat driven, retro sci-fi landscape. When asked what his inspiration was for this month’s mix, the Bear’s reply was that it was fueled by many sleepless nights of watching ’80s cinema and Star Trek: TNG.

Arriving with Episode 18 of Listening Pleasures, Miori presents us with an eclectic but refreshingly uncomplicated mix of his recent synth pop and downtempo inspirations. Blending obscure talent and close colleagues with seasoned and established artists, this mix glides high above the noise and the clatter, providing you with the perfect autumnal transition into the winter months. Woody opens up during a hypnotic trance, Dandelion Council floats your speakers, and the Little Dragon Remix is sexy as hell.

So cue up your stereo, and bump some Listening Pleasures from here to the coast.

The sun is starting to make regular cameos here in Portland, which makes us look forward to summer an awful lot. Consider episode 15, then, a fast forward into our hotly-anticipated season, one that features an unreleased minimal techno track by Nueva Forma’s cloudburst, as well as a variety of other sweet, dancey tracks curated by Wolfe+585.

Episode 14 is curated by the ever-eccentric Creta. About his mix, in his own words:

After The Bear and the Sea killed it with his latest podcast, I knew I had to up my game. I pulled some gems out of the past and mixed them with a few newer tracks I’ve been digging and came up with this nice little podcast. From the minimal techno of Zofa to old-school IDM from Planet Boelex, the digital beauty of MHV and the organic ambience of Paq, this mix is a journey into possibilities.

A Gap Between - Neon Signs

Blackbird Blackbird - Hawaii (The Bear and The Sea remix)

Episode 13, promised two days ago, arrives a wee bit late, but hopefully the lovely tunes will make up for our tardiness, and not to mention, the two awesome free tracks by A Gap Between and The Bear and The Sea. Things have been crazy here this month, albeit a productive kind of crazy, and that’s the way we like it, for the most part. It’s probably why Wolfe+585 opted for the kind of mix that one could most certainly relax to (and sometimes even dance to), all of which could be described as a sort of squishy, nostalgic bliss.

The Bear and The Sea - Drinking Diamonds feat. Joel Swensen

Del Dot - Droid Crusher

The Bear and The Sea closes out the year in style with episode 12 of Listening Pleasures, a mix that could easily be on par with summer, but has all the fixings of a winter wonderland, too. Included are free downloads of Drinking Diamonds, a Bear and The Sea exclusive featuring the gorgeous vocals of Joel Swensen, and Droid Crusher, a title and cut that might be apt for a modern 8-bit video game, brought to you from our newest artist, Del Dot. And if you just can’t get enough of The Bear this month, download his instrumental reinterpretation of Silent Night, a synth-y cover that even the Grinch would dig. As always, we hope you enjoy the tunes. Have the happiest of holidays, and see you all in 2011!
