I’ve been bombarding you with utter filth recently, so I thought I’d take a step back and provide something a bit more tranquil for once. This is Socket Science’s Moon Landing mix, which he recorded at The Consulate Studio in Stockholm late last year, and it’s a delightfully smooth mosaic of minimal vibes. Part of the roster of free netlabel Astor Bell, you’d expect him to include a fair few tracks by his label-mates, but this is not the case. Instead we are treated to a line-up from far and wide, showcasing the likes of Piemont, Thomas Muller and Dominik Eulberg, amongst others. My highlight, however, is Microtrauma’s incredible tune ‘Input’, which builds up like a strangely satisfying panic attack in your chest and then seamlessly transitions into Oliver Huntemann’s ‘Shanghai Spinner’. This is sunny music.

Tracklisting after the jump, head over to Astor Bell’s official site to download more tunes and mixes.
