As the falling leaves turn to frost and hint at the impending cold to come, something happens to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere who are lucky enough to experience wintry climates but not so unlucky as to live in the frozen tundra. We turn indoors, often shunning social activity completely, to become intimate with the isolation of the great indoors. We enjoy the pampering of ourselves with warm baths, hot soups, and plenty of television — and, if we’re lucky, we find other bodies with which to share those comforts of isolation. This mixtape is dedicated to that kind of sharing — not quite as public as that of holiday festivities but just as important — of sexy intertwining beneath comforters, and discovering just how much a heater pales in comparison to the heat generated by another body.
These tracks have been collected throughout the duration of 2013, with some dating slightly further back. It’s been a long time in the making — but what all these musicians have in common is a shared sensibility towards the warmth that can be found in electronic music, when it is not tinny, rigid, and overly logical — but relaxed, soulful, and downright human.
