Today’s post will be a mix of some of the best new dub techno, dubstep, and ambient sound I could find. We’ll warm things up, turn down the light, and then drone off into the ocean. Today’s art is some of the incredible futuristic concept art (by Sparth Construct) I’ve been checking out at the [...]
It’s sunday morning as I write this, the sun shines brightly through my skylight and I’m engulfed in late morning low level ambience. I don’t know about you ambient listeners, but I have a number of ambient playlists together for sleep time, and some of these tunes make me think about early morning ambient for [...]

Taxes are out the [...]

It was up exclusively on ISO50 this past Friday, and it will be released on iTunes and/or through moodgadget.com soon. I had been working on a [...]
Going up on the blog today, this rainy, soggy day, tunes to sip tea to and listen to the raindrops hit the roof. First up, this amazing soundscape from Cepia.

Well everyone, it’s Valentine’s Day. A day to express your love to another, primarily by purchasing them things, but also sometimes by means of sexual activity.

The following tunes in my _idm playlist were the most notable today (I promise I wont make it a habit of posting ambient/idm [...]
