Atmospheric Electronica (with Artemis, Kalabi, Blue Tribe, & more...) | Music for Midnight #17

Music for Midnight Episode #17 was one of the first times that I’d collected a number of songs with a theme in mind. I’d come across a number of songs that stuck me as incredibly atmospheric. The kind of songs that could set the background to a Hollywood movie scene.

M4M016 - Hungry Lucy "In Their Own Words"

Like Episode #13 with Lovespirals, Music for Midnight Episode #16 was extra long and focused on the 10 year anniversary of a band called Hungry Lucy. This is a really enjoyable walk through their catalog.

Downtempo beats, haunting female vocals, soft “Goth” style, and a overwhelming sense of melancholy pervade Hungry Lucy’s music. It appears that in 2020, they are still making music, but here is a great snapshot in time.

M4M015 - Background Music - M4M Style (with Philippe Weigl, Jami Sieber, Blue Tribe & More)

By Music for Midnight Episode #15, I’d been getting lots of email comments about the show. A recurring theme was that this music was perfect background music for studying, driving, or just daily life.

I obliged with a set entirely focused around creating an atmospheric background without turning into the bland “New Age Music” that was so popular in 2008.

M4M014 - All New Artists for the Show with Bookends by Melissa Rebronja

With Music for Midnight Episode #14, I reached out of my comfort zone. Exploring the Podsafe Music Network, I found a bunch of female vocal-driven songs that were quite pleasant.

Not a blockbuster, I’m still very happy with this episode

M4M012 - Xtra Chill (featuring Peter Gabriel, The Atomica Project, Catya Mare, and more...)

IMG_6240.JPG

Music for Midnight #12 was the first episode of the podcast that was part of the Personal Life Media Network. I will emphasize that network has changed dramatically since 2008 and should be considered NSFW.

This episode, however, is so chilled out to be safe for anything. Except being stressed out. Enjoy.

M4M011 - Triple Feature - Lisa DeBenedictis, The Shanghai Restoration Project, and Vanessa Daou

IMG_6239.JPG

Music for Midnight #11 was the result of being overwhelmed by the amount of great music that I was discovering. As the podcast heated up, I found myself being drawn to some of the same artists over and over.

This episode was my way of releasing some of that backlog. Instead of playing one song from these artists in episode after episode, they each received the spotlight in a mini-feature of three songs.

M4M010 - Labor Day Mix (featuring Dive Index, Shanghai Restoration Project, Vanessa Daou, Kalabi, and more...)

IMG_6238.JPG

Music for Midnight #10 was ostensibly a mix for Labor Day, but really it was just a collect of really cool music. Looking back on these, I’m surprised how many of them are still prominent in my musical rotation today.

M4M009 - Justin Bianco Feature

IMG_6237.JPG

Music for Midnight #9 is another feature of a single artist, this time the very talented Justin Bianco. This tracks are some of the most innovative and eclectic to appear on the podcast.

This episode also starts with a shoutout to Susan Bratton of Personal Life Media who I met at the New Media Expo. My podcast would, for a time, become part of her Personal Life Media network. The network is currently focussed around intimacy and explicit relationship advice, but when I was involved it was a new media company with a focus on lifestyle.
