Particularly glad to note Eels appearance in there.

Followed him ever since Electro-Shock Blues but never really liked much of his output since.. until now

Love Eels. Highly recommend Mark Everett's autobiography 'Things The Grandchildren Should Know' - a startling and in many ways a heartbreaking story.

Would also strongly urge anyone with an interest in physics to watch the BBC documentary 'Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives' which looks at Mark Everett and his late father, who came up with the concept of parallel universes.

I've been listening to your mixes since 2006 and have forged many love affairs with the groups and artists you've included that I hadn't been familiar with formerly: Orbital, Home Video and Goldfrapp come immediately to mind...
But to be included on one of your mixes (my 'Sweguno' mix of SI's 'Map N-T') is a wonderful and completely unexpected honour! Thank you Aesthetics

Cheers man!
Was expecting a response from you

I hope to get you some music to check out after you've checked this one out.
I'm glad I found a spot in there as the song you've created with SI is amazing. I expected some other twoism artists to respond but I guess they are not aware that their inclusion.

thanks for sharing

Curious too. Most of the time your feedback is well substantiated

I've already listened your mix about four times now. That's prolly a good sign?

First of all I really like the artwork cover. That's neat!

The mix in its entirety is really tight, but I didn't expect anything less after all the previous editions. You set a really high standard!

In all honesty I could do without the trappy/dubsteppy tracks you included in the later part of the mix, but luckily it's not a dealbreaker. In each listening session I noticed the crossover around the 11 min mark into eyesdontlie; a bit of a special mix. I dunno.

Also the lack of some more BoC was expected but still a pity. Nothing is real could've been such a great addition!

Already looking forward to the 2014 edition!

PS: I browsed through my own "Best of 2013" Spotify playlist and I see a lot of artists which aren't included in your mix. A lot with lots of vocals too. There might be something new and interesting in there for you.

Specifically I'd recommend the following artists: Baths, Daughter, Nicolas Jaar, Darkside, Toro Y Moi, Mount Kimbie, SOHN, Cloud Boat, Patten. Their 2013 releases are really nice.

Some of my favourite tracks:

That are some great acts you recommended there! Wish I talked to you earlier as some of the artists would've fit the mix perfectly. I wanted to include a Baths track but it didn't made the cut.
Daughter, Sohn(new album queued up for 2014

), Toro y Moi and Cloud Boat are all awesome recommendations.

I get what you mean with the Eyes don't Lie transition. There seem to be some clashing in there

Don't you ever dare to call Knarsetand just trappy/dubsteppy! They deserve more than that tag only

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li6ujWaws7I I'm eagerly awaiting their debute album!

Cheers!
