Gentle Daps XXVI: Speed Zen
November 08, 2017 04:05 - 107 MBI tend to spend a very long time researching for and compiling Gentle Daps mixes, so I decided to challenge myself to compile, record, and publish a mix all in one sitting. This gave me an opportunity to revisit some favorites and not get too caught up in the discovery process. It was oddly satisfying to breeze through this and reach right for the good stuff. The result of this experiment is—surprise!—a pretty straightforward ambient and new age playlist. (Nothing wrong with that though, ri...

Gentle Daps XXV: Guest Mix by Deejay Greenman
May 17, 2017 02:47 - 136 MBEnglish soft rock aficionado Deejay Greenman has returned with his sequel to last month’s Write Your Lucky Number (Gentle Daps XXIV). He picks up where he left of and offers up another hour of rare ‘70s-centric soft rock of the supremely hushed, mellow variety. These two mixes are treasures, and I am thrilled they are part of the Gentle Daps canon.
Gentle Daps XXIV: Guest Mix by Deejay Greenman
March 19, 2017 16:46 - 138 MBBrighton-based Deejay Greenman caught my ear a few months ago with his excellent Mixcloud series of smooth AOR. I knew his knack for picking out wonderfully soft adult rock from the ‘60s, '70s, and '80s would make him a great fit for Gentle Daps. Lucky for us, he heard my call and put together this enchanting entry to the series. He’s calling it Write Your Lucky Number.

December 28, 2016 04:52 - 213 MBGainesville, Florida-based producer Natasha Home (aka Sunmoonstar) has been on the Gentle Daps radar since wowing us with a pair of great albums in 2015. Now she has offered up her own entry in the series by blessing us with 93 minutes of ambient and new age splashed with a few bright peaks of experimental pop and classical.
Gentle Daps XXI: Halloween Special
October 23, 2016 23:18 - 142 MBThis years’ Gentle Daps Halloween special features dreary, quiet obscuro, goth, and film scores. It includes a couple of creepy crawly Legowelt classics, a spooky Bowie cover, a few first-wave 4AD ethereal pieces, and much more.

Gentle Daps XVIII: Guest Mix by Opaline
December 17, 2015 14:00 - 134 MBPortland-based ambient artist Opaline has gotten regular coverage here on AiMT, so I am thrilled that he’s been kind enough to offer up this latest entry in the Gentle Daps series. It’s a live mix made up entirely of vinyl and cassettes, and it continues the new age theme of the past few Daps episodes. The format choice is fitting considering Opaline’s thick release schedule of cassettes in recent years. His most recent is called Open Source and is available on Hacktivism Records. Stream/buy...

#034: 1080p Spotlight
July 31, 2015 13:00 - 47.7 MBVancouver-based tape label 1080p has been one of the most covered if not THE most covered label on AiMT over the past couple of years, so it’s only right that I give it a proper spotlight in the form of this 50-minute mixed tribute sampler, which features all dance and experimental material from the label’s 2015 catalog.
#033.5: Mike & Rich — Beatless Ambient Demos
July 31, 2015 12:59 - 177 MBI can still very vividly recall the first time I heard ambient music. It was during my teenage years. I popped in the record store at our local mall—a Sam Goody or something like that—and picked up Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II by Aphex Twin. I had read about ambient but had never actually heard it. I remember being very surprised and delighted to find this album at such a small shop in our relatively small town. (Mind you, this was in the mid ‘90s, so music consumption via the internet wa...
Gentle Daps XVI: Guest Mix by Inner Travels
June 21, 2015 19:04 - 46.4 MBThe new age revivalist sounds of elusive Lake Geneva-based producer Inner Travels have been featured on previous Gentle Daps episodes, so it is my privilege to let him curate his own mix, Welcome the Day, for the series. An avid new age cassette collector, Inner Travels has contributed mixes for folks like Sounds of the Dawn and Rainbow Pyramid, and I am happy to add Gentle Daps to that growing list.

June 01, 2015 03:02 - 108 MBHere’s my spotlight on the past quarter’s subdued musical offerings in quarterly Armchair Backlog series for ANTS Podcast.
Gentle Daps XV: Guest Mix by Beat Bachs
May 07, 2015 18:16 - 95.9 MBBeat Bachs is a Fayetteville-based DJ and jack of all trades. He’s been active in radio for 16 years and counting with a few different projects, namely the film industry talkshow The Drive-in Speakerbox. That show got its start as a spotlight on film scores (and still incorporates film score material between talk segments). Beat Bachs, who goes by The Boom Operator on the show, has been amassing a gigantic collection of scores over the past decade for the show. He was kind enough to pour ove...
