August ‘women of ambient’ is here!

I'm thrilled that 10 of the 11 artists featured this month are new to the mix series! I couldn’t help but add a song from ‘women of ambient’ repeat Lyndsie Alguire who has a beautiful new record coming to the amazing Hush Hush Records later this month.

You can listen to this month’s selections via the Soundcloud continuous mix (just for a little while), BNDCMPR + the Spotify playlist (with all the latest additions at the top).

**This mix and all archived mixes from the past few years are available to stream and download for paid subscribers of this newsletter. I pour a lot of love into this portion of the mix series!

marine eyes updates:

• EXCITING NEWS! I have a marine eyes DJ set happening at LA’s Echo Park Rising event on August 17th at the P.F. Candle Flagship Store (2205 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles). I will be spinning a special ‘women of ambient’ mix, and love that Ki Oni, Jenn Prince + Noah Klein will be performing as well! My DJ set starts promptly at 2pm, hope to see you there! Huge thanks to Scott of AKP Recordings for setting this up!

• In case you missed it, I released a 3 song EP ‘endings, beginnings’ in June and it landed on all streaming services a few weeks ago.

• I’m grateful to be featured on Inquiri’s new album, ‘See you Someday’ via Past Inside the Present. Lacey pours all of herself into what she does and although these songs span a decade of her life, they fit together seamlessly. We started ‘Our Souls Kissed’ in 2016 and it is incredible to share it after 8 years!

• My husband James and I loved performing live a few weeks ago with the beautiful people at Living Earth LA. If you are in the LA area, we highly recommend joining a gathering of theirs soon. Head here to see a few snippets of our show.

• I had the honor of doing the album cover art for the new zakè + Angela Winter album released on PITP today.
