Eyes and Ears – December edition

Let’s go back to electronick tracks now. I would like to introduce you to this great artist you may have heard about, Introspecter. Introspecter practices pure and elegant ambient music, and it is just what you need on cold nights.

Another fresh and cold track comes as a remix of “Deep” by Melorman, here  remixed by NorthCape, a British composer I’ll be talking about more and more in 2015 I think,.

Now that you’re all cold and drowning in snow, let’s warm up a bit with the latest mix of Thievery Corporation, this one from their live show at the Burning Man festival in 2014:

 

That’s all for this month. Have a great end of the year’s celebrations and see you soon here in 2015!
