Sasha’s “Vapour Trails,” remixed by Kiasmos … plus bits by Bonobo and Tale of Us

Kiasmos is Ólafur Arnalds & Janus Rasmussen. Photo sourced from artist's Facebook. I've got a second post for the evening, since I'm in the mood to get some music off my chest and onto a playlist, while perhaps recommending it to anyone who's listening, as well as just offering a meditation onto myself. So this …

Holy Ghost! @ the Teragram Ballroom on 11.02.19

DBFC's 2017 album "Jenks," featuring the single "Autonomic."
