Brought to you by Arctic Circle Radio, the Circle is a new weekly podcast that takes you on a one-hour journey based on the most simple and significant of shapes. Every Circle is unique; formed from a guest curator’s musical landscape and they all share the same revolutionary quality: each one ends at the point where it began.
Edition 30 - Mix by Quite Clicky (David Hemingway): Lighthouse Keepers haven’t always been well regarded. The first were considered to be interfering with the opportunity to plunder from ships that had been shattered upon rocks. Nevertheless, the ebbs and flows of the following mix are intended as a tribute (of sorts) to the profession, though in the UK at least they’ve long since been made redundant: when the final manned lighthouse at North Foreland, Kent was automated in 1998, it brought this honourable role to an end.
James Yorkston – Shipwreckers (Adrian Crowley version) – Domino
On – Facade [Excerpt] – Type
Mum – Abandoned Ship Bells – Fat Cat
The Late Cord – Lila Blue – 4AD
Piano Magic – Haunted Boat – Darla
Rachel’s – Rhine & Courtesan – Quarterstick
Johann Johannsson – Virdulegu forsetar – Touch
BJ Nilsen – Austrvegr [Excerpt] – Touch
James Yorkston – Shipwreckers – Domino
David Hemingway writes for XLR8R magazine (xlr8r.com).

this is just a mix of all the things i’ve been working on in recent months that are finally coming to fruition. mostly new, as yet unreleased yellow6 music, along with a remix and collaboration track from an ongoing project.

Edition 29 - Mix by ISAN: the mix seems to have themed itself around water, which is appropriate, and williams, which may not be. It features a handful of unreleased ISAN tracks – the first and last are from a remix compilation which will be released on simon scott’s kesh label around october, “lop helston conceit” is specially composed for Arctic Circle and the Bubbly Blue and Green festival, and “device” is take from “glow in the dark safari set”, our new album due out in june on Morr Music. Other than that, it’s just tunes we love, all of which are heartily recommended for listening on a windswept and deserted beach.
1 isan – eastside (simon scott mix)
2 william basinski – variations for tape and piano excerpt
3 mount kimbie – william
4 isan – device
5 isan – remegio
6 ezekiel honig – a lake of suggestions pt 1
7 rachel unthank and the winterset – sea song
8 the caretaker – persistent repetition of phrases
9 robert lippok – close
10 isan – lop helston conceit
11 isan – eastside

Edition 28 – Rotary Mix by Missaw: For this mix I wanted to explore the more atmospheric end of our collective’s sonic footprint and have included as much new and forthcoming music as I could. Many of the tracks in the mix will likely never be released formally so it’s been a true pleasure to compile and blend them together for The Circle.
