A Tron-inspired mix mixed by Pilotpriest.

In celebration of the release of TRON: Legacy, Toronto's NOW Magazine commissioned Pilotpriest to make a mix illustrating many of his shared influences with the film and its scorers Daft Punk and this is what happened.

Great mix, amazing journey.

Origami Podcast 018



New origami podcast, deeper and darker face of the d'n'b. Packed in this 60 minutes journey are tunes that bring some darkness while spreading the light at the same time. Felt like this podcast should be different from the previous one since drum'n'bass has some much to offer.

Odesza - Home


Odesza'a new track, much more lush and laid back than the track from "Summer's Gone" album but kept in the same manner, which only proves their vast production skills.

Holy Other - Yr Love


Berlin-via-Manchester shadow builder Holy Other released this single back in 2010 as a debut for Transparent label. It has Holy's specific  hollowed-out darkness to it but is much less dark and blurry than his previous stuff. "Yr Love" is not as heavy or abstrat as "Held" album, but still carries a patient darkness, just where you need it. Great track for afterparty.

Odesza - Summer's Gone


Odesza's LP is finally out and incredibly good. Whole variety of sounds, many music styles combined, but always chilling and brilliant. In my mind one of the best albums this year, certainly worth multiple listens. Spin it and pick your favorites.

Emancipator - Greenland


I have first stumbled upon Emancipator's music thanks to his outstanding "Safe In The Steep Cliffs" album and became a massive fan since the very first minutes I heard it.
Douglas Appling, cause that's his real name, is only 24 year-old American who has commited 2 studio albums so far, both absolute state of the art. His style can be roughly described as a blend of such genres like hip-hop, jazz, classical music and of course electronica. The album blends new instrumentation and organic samples with the signature Emancipator style of clean production, silky melodies and addictive drums. Dense layers of choirs, horns, American folk instruments such as the banjo and mandolin, violin and some distinct Asian influences make for a playful but refined album built out of intricate tracks listeners can enjoy on as many levels as they want.


"Greenland" is a track that didn't really catch my attention at first, but as the time was passing, this track has been growing on me, soon to be found among the personal favorites from the album. There's just nothing you could dislike about this tune - it's immensely groovy, has outstanding guitar riffs, drums soft as silk and beautiful violin parts, all put together with incredible taste and balance, proving Mr. Appling may be young, but his production skills stand on highest world's level. 


Although this track is soft and warm, at the same time if you close your eyes while listening you can almost feel the cold Greenland's wind on your face. 
For sure this is not last Emancipator's track I'm posting here, I'll keep dropping the ones I fancy the most, like "Greenland", "Kamakura" or "First Snow", I want you to treat this first one as a encouragement to buy the whole album on Emancipator's Bandcamp page - the best spent 10$ in your life, I can see no possible option how anyone could regret buying this masterpiece.
