"my personal favorite alice record, um my favorite album cover of all time. this kind of has everything that i need from alice packaged into one record. it's got the ashram devotional chanting, gospel music, it's got the ambient spiritual celestial jazz and it's got the really free stuff."Watch this moment
"Ambient Three, this is Laraaji's Day of Radiance. Laraaji is a personal spiritual mentor; I work closely reissuing some of Laraaji's music. This one's really important because it really solidified new age as a serious genre being co-signed by an esteemed producer such as Eno, and it introduced Laraaji's music to the world."Watch this moment
"Rahu EP from Sharada Shashidhar is special for jazz and beat scene music of LA. Sharada's voice is a gift from heaven; she effortlessly sings and harmonizes, and Jamail's production just adds this gorgeous lo-fi textural layer to her music."Watch this moment
"this one's very close to me i studied this record when I got it I think I was 14 or 13. it's a big formative time for me this record helped me through a lot people should be talking about this record more especially right now."Watch this moment
"Sink - EP out on Stone's Throw, Sudan and I worked very collaboratively on this one and the EP before this one, which was her self-titled debut, but this one is my favorite. Just a perfect blend of lo-fi and hi-fi production. Sudan's violin stylings are influenced from West African fiddling and she adds to such a cool futuristic R&B production layer."Watch this moment
