sūp:urbia – convergence

By {ns} | August 8, 2010

whew! after a two-month hiatus, i’ve was finally able to get back into my mixes as most of june and july were consumed by work and the move from seattle to minneapolis. well, after being in minneapolis for three weeks now, it’s still been busy trying to get settled in and getting into a more typical “routine” of sorts while trying to do some personal projects on the side. “convergence” reflects my recent cross-country move, the seemingly parallel lives one experiences for a few weeks until they can close one chapter while getting a considerable push into the next. the move. the change. the challenge. as a result, i chose to select a wide variety of tracks for this mix whose release dates and memories span the duration from my beginnings in seattle up to my current, yet young, life in minneapolis. each track, for me, has a particular memory attached to it within this period of time. So there is some underlying structure amongst it’s seemingly chaotic mosaic of trance, progressive and dark minimal.

as always, enjoy the tracks.
