With the recent passing of Unwound bassist Vern Rumsey, this mix starts with a more unique post-hardcore introduction of that band’s track “Corpse Pose” from their seminal album Repetition (1996). This is the second installment of Readymix Cement.

Winter Waves & Cryptic Caves IV : Soundtracks Of The Mind
This is the final of three new instalments of the series of mixes done over the winter entitled “Winter Waves & Cryptic Caves”; this one being the most dynamic of the set, having more of a focus on favourite pieces from film soundtracks.
Winter Waves & Cryptic Caves III : Drones & Tones
This mix is the second of three new mixes for Winter Waves & Cryptic Caves. Entitled “Drones & Tones” it is the most minimal and meditative of the bunch, focusing on ambience and sound design. It includes artists old and new — strangers, friends and peers.
Winter Waves & Cryptic Caves II : Synthetic Worlds
This mix, Synthetic Worlds, is a selection of more synthesiser-based pieces from classic artists from years gone as well as newer tracks by current artists, including friends and peers I know expanding in that universe of sound, creating new worlds to travel in and out of.

A late-night mix incorporating psychedelic drones, film soundtracks, electro-acoustics, slow ballads and minimalist electronics.
White Lodge 005 : Synth or Swim
A representative slice out of the pool of synth-saturated, future-thinking music that I love, namely between the years of 1978 to 1985.
White Lodge 004 : Dye Your Hair Black and Absorb All “Waves”
This particular mix has been sequenced in a loose chronological order, encompassing a time period starting in 1995 and ending sometime in 2000. From 2000 onward the post-punk and synth revival thing sort of exploded and bands hatched and made flight like a cloud of buzzing locusts.
White Lodge 003 : A Soundtrack To Burning Youth
There was a great thing that happened with the arrival of punk and hardcore in the late 80s and 90s, and this mix is a reflection of my time with that.
