Kylmä Musiikki Mix
Here’s a long winter mix that I put together during a few sleepless nights in a Helsinki hotel. Finnish for “cold music” and filled with lots of reverb and drifting loops, Kylmä Musiikki is designed for walking through the snow, reading late into the night, and generally feeling calm.

because life is too short to listen to shitty music…Kylmä Musiikki…
…James made a new mix called Kylmä Musiikki (Finnish for “Cold Music”) that’s really good music to pass out to. Check out the tracklist full of soft and heartbreaking classics from Brian Eno, Oval and DJ Shadow…
Awesome. Thank you!
great stuff!!
love inc. -lifes a gas!!!! when wolfgang nails a track its perfection.
ive still got those tracks i played at you going away party to send to you
Nice James! I got this cranking now at work and it's making my day go by smoother.
Great mix, how did I only just stumble upon your site?! FYI I was suckered in by your fantastic My Living Room post on Urban Omnibus and from there it was only a hop, skip and a jump to the great techno and mixes. Don’t suppose you have a cue sheet for this mix do you?
Hey Joel, thanks for the encouraging word! No cue sheet, I’m afraid…
Heady mix.
While it ran, read a story about a plane carrying a pilot and missionary crashing in the new world and starting civilization from scratch; A story about a town gone beserk over a mad girl and blaming her for their madness; A story about a Polish artist failing at pretending to be a Russian art student and falling in love with a cold Irish girl; A story about a man, his girlfriend, and his best friend and the guilt of the latter two cheating with each other; A story about a veterinarian with little thoughts who along with his family get kidnapped by aliens; And a pitch perfect first person story of a man whose loneliness is all but a cobweb of his own doing.
Where is the giant like-button? I’d like to press it now please.
Pleased that you enjoyed it! I’d forgotten about this mix…
And what were you reading, exactly? I’d like to read about a veterinarian with little thoughts who gets abducted…
