M'aidez. Mayday. Summer is icumen in. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UD - Adapted
This collection starts off well but sags somewhat in its second track. 'After The Cremation', though, is swoonsome in its yearning, reminding me almost of Sasha's Airdrawndagger. 'Pankow' gurgles and sweats with dank ooze as soft melodies dance overhead. Mix Mup turns in a sterling remix, cleaner than you might expect, while SW's take is full of joyous percussion.

Hibernate - Dayalu / for Nepal
Hibernate featured last week but I'm including them again because they've put together a compilation to raise funds to help the British Red Cross in its efforts in Nepal. This is just one of many such endeavours: see also Ohio Records, who are donating 100pc of sales of Aaron Dilloway's Sounds of Nepal Volumes 1-3 to the American Nepal Medical Foundation.

Gianni Proietti - Threads
I wonder if this guy's a Ghibli fan? His nickname is Gattobus. Hmm. Anyway, he's put together this rather blissful collection of Eurorack experiments. All free.

Sarah Davachi - Qualities of Bodies Permanent
This is the set of Buchla jams I mentioned yesterday. Really lovely stuff from Sarah Davachi, focused, drifting, gorgeous. 

Mysteries Of The Deep XXXII - NEEL | EVENING OF LIGHT
I sent this to someone the other and was asked, naturally, "but is it deep?" It is. Quite. Cavernous. Labyrinthine. 

Ian C Middleton - Mobiles
A free collection of ambient noodles. NOODLES. Yes.

Snow Ghosts - Circles out of Salt (Ian William Craig Version)
Snow Ghosts are an acquired taste, I appreciate, but this noisy version of 'Circles out of Salt' by Ian William Craig is superb. Fuzzy, warped, looped materials push and pull, Hannah Cartwright's vocals expertly augmented for maximum terror.

Secret Self: Seance Radio Show 11
Katie Gately shared this wonderful show — it's an exceptional mixture of sounds. Nicki Minaj overlain with worlds of reverb. Deru. Katie herself. Objekt. Emptyset. A journey.

Spokes mix for the Astral Plane
Another journey here, from Spokes. Moving from the ethereal sounds of Lee Gamble and Yamaneko through Reichian claps into solid dancefloor ruffness, it's a belter of a mix, moremusical than a lot of other things I've heard lately. Fantastic stuff.

Still not 100pc you're all bothered about Bandcloud mixes, but there's one on the way next week that put a huge smile on my face — wonderfully joyful house music from start to finish.

Have a good bank holiday weekend, if that's your bag.
