This mix by Aarnio entitled “The Cloud Chamber Under The Mountain” would have matched up perfectly with my night under the stars last night. My friend Elza had a bunch of us over to her 3rd floor rooftop which is nestled in a stunning area of Montreal called Outremont. We sipped on basil gin and tonics, and sparked up a 3-hour-long string of stories as we each tipped our chairs back ever so slightly to take in the steamy dome of stars above. It was a dreamy night to say the least, and would have been made all the more magical had I known about this mix beforehand. In his own words, Aarnio writes: “I made this semi continuous new Aarnio mix out of songs that I love to loop and fall asleep to and shared it with a friend. Its a pretty rewarding listen if you enjoy collections of songs in a row that concentrate on depth in tone and calm airy patterns. Made for people who love the admire the beauty of the ocean at night, listening to trains from a distance and the echoes from a large church bell.” Seriously beautiful stuff going on here. Can’t wait to take this for an inaugural midnight starry-eyed spin with friends. And screw the rooftop — this time I’ll be aiming for a lakeside beer keg bonfire and a moonlit lake. Infinite possibilities :)
