We continue the new year with another reunification of the Atmospheric Audio Chair collective, direct from the tundra of wintery Chicago.  Here is presented a generous collection of canorous compositions which spans the gamut from YMO to MBV to M83.  Perfect for studying for exams, babysitting the neighbor’s kids, and a great conversation starter at dinner parties.  Enjoy!

What can I say about this mix.  It’s out there…  One of my personal favorites.  It belongs to the quadrilogy of mixes which include A La Peanut Budder Sandwiches, Star, and the soon to be posted Golden Age.  All in all, this is a very eclectic collection of electronica with hats off to Detroit/Chicago artists and the many whom they inspired.  One side ends with the ambient ramblings of The Black Dog and Air Liquide (a nod to the 70s psychedelic band Brainticket) and the other with the blurred d&b/downtempo echos of Subsurfing and Attica Blues.  You’ll start on planet Earth and end up on a space trip.  So sit back and enjoy the journey!

If AAC at Millennium Park lasted all day long, this is what it could have sounded like.  20 minutes per DJ really does no justice!  Spend a few hours in your favorite La-Z-Boy, hammock, or k-hole and soak it all in.  Play at low to mid volume, and on as many speakers as possible.  Enjoy!

The early 90s gave birth to some of the most memorable chill-out music, and we did our best to harness it at the Atmospheric Audio Chair parties.  Our love and passion brought us together in the dead of winter back in 1992 where we and other weekend-worn ravers would huddle together on a Sunday night and savor the sounds that up until now only filled our living rooms and headphones.  A very special treat was having the chill-out guru himself, Mixmaster Morris, as a guest at AAC.   This mix was definitely inspired by that first appearance, which made quite an impression on us all.  So enjoy this 90 minute journey into deep electronic relaxation…
