Happy Monday, friends. I didn’t publish many mixes last year—probably about four altogether. Do you think I should continue investing time into this? Oh, right. You can’t answer me here, but you can on the newly launched Headphone Community. In any case, some traditions continue. And today, I have the 17th instalment of Mathias Van Eecloo‘s eisOtones series, which comprises 50 tracks from 50 releases of 2024. See all previous editions here. Prepare yourself for a very eclectic selection of tunes, some outside the HC general pathway. This is precisely what I love about this journey – I get to turn to the alleys I don’t generally go down. I like to think of it as a way to reset, cleansing the mind and stepping away from the usual sounds we take for granted. It’s a chance to explore music that exists on the outskirts, the boundaries of which we seem to narrow every day. Mathias is, of course, the founder of the now-concluded Eilean Records, as well as the ongoing IIKKI project and LAAPS, a label focusing on ambient and electro-acoustic genres. All of which I can highly recommend. And now, the music!

Looking back at last year, I realised I didn’t publish many episodes on HC Podcast. In fact, besides the celebrations of the year past, I only had Dustin O’Halloran making a Blue Summer Mixtape for me [and for you]. I’m not sure how I feel about that, to be honest. It’s not like anyone reached out and said, “Hey, what happened to the mixes?” But at least I have this annual tradition where Mike Jedlicka of Optic Echo creates a vinyl-only mix at the beginning of each year. And this is his 14th instalment (if you don’t count his best-of-the-decade mix). As usual, Mike keeps me on my toes by sharing fantastic music that I somehow missed, and it’s a great pleasure to experience his deep knowledge of eclectic selections in a long-form continuous mix. If you like these choices, check out the Optic Echo Presents archive. Enjoy the journey, and may I remind you once again to please support the featured artists and labels! Pick up their releases on Bandcamp, even if you still intend to play them on Spotify on the go! Oh, and one last thing – if you love this mix, I’ll try putting up a lossless version on Headphone Community.

<p>With all of my regular hectic programming, I completely forgot to invite other artists and create a mix for the HC Podcast! This is immediately rectified with this wonderful Blue Summer Mixtape by the one and only Dustin O'Halloran. Oh, and if you're just jumping on board this long-running series and want to catch up, there are a total of 330 mixes already published - almost too many to host in one place. So you can either stream them on your favourite platforms or even download the entire archive in one swoop (more on that is detailed <a href='https://headphonecommute.com/this-mix-is-offline/'>here</a>). But back to this fantastic modern classical voyage. Dustin is, of course, no stranger to these lands - I have been celebrating his solo piano career, collaborative film scores with Volker Bertelman (aka Hauschka), and, of course, his gorgeous project with Adam Wiltzie as A Winged Victory For The Sullen since the beginning of time. So, it's an absolute pleasure to welcome Dustin back to the podcast with his very special selection of inspirational music. Dustin is currently celebrating his latest album for Deutsche Grammophon, titled 1 0 0 1, which I have reviewed in depth <a href='https://headphonecommute.com/2024/03/29/dustin-ohalloran-1-0-0-1/'>here</a>. He is also preparing for his upcoming European tour, and you can see the schedule for his shows in Groningen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and Berlin on his website <a href='https://dustinohalloran.com/'>here</a>. Well, those are enough words for now. I'll leave you with a quote about the mix from Dustin and, most importantly, the music!</p>
