[Norton Canes]

24 darkly beguiling, synth-driven tracks from various artists, released over the first six months of 2020. 98 minutes of meticulously curated pleasure. One (1) mix for the midsummer moment.

But first, an apology. As Solstice Mix devotees (and their number are legion) will know, I usually concoct a humorous preamble to these mixes, generally in the form of a satirical riff on significant issues of the past six months. However in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic I don’t think such a piece would be at all appropriate. Not, I should hasten to say, because I'm worried it might cause offence - no, it's simply that my efforts to conjure even the most farcical spin would fall far short of the level of comic incompetency already displayed by our murderously inept government. I'll readily admit I just don’t have the comic chops to outdo the cavalcade of feckless clowns we've had conga past the lectern of ineptitude in recent months. Try as I might, I cannot contrive of a single scenario as bleakly, blackly, lung-rupturingly laughable as those flung at us by the twirling-tied, horn-honking, canoe-shod buffoons in power like an unending salvo of custard pies into our pliant faces.

So instead, at the risk of coming over all 'The Empire Strikes Back' I'm going to go a bit dark and say that with the tracks I've selected, I've tried to capture something of the calamitous sense of dislocation and taut unease which has permeated the world in the wake of this pandemic, whether that's been manifested as anger, paranoia, claustrophobia or anguished determination to maintain a facade of optimism. Some of these songs are escapes to safe spaces, some channel inner hurt, others rail against ugly realities. Challenging music for challenging times.

What's that? Oh, keep it light. Sorry.

In that case, let me reassure you that as usual, where the tracks in other mixes blend with the intimacy of revelers at an illicit Burnage barbecue, the songs here shy nervously away from each other with the reticence of an elderly shopper gingerly attempting to enter a teeming supermarket aisle. And the levels, like a Tory chief advisor with actual coronavirus symptoms who’s supposedly on fucking lockdown, are all over the place. There.

(Also thanks to geometrydaily [.tumblr.com] for the avatar image. It's the go-to place for diurnal minimal geometric collections, believe me.) 

You are now but a click away from hearing tracks by artists such as Purity Ring, Agnes Obel, CLT DRP, Sightless Pit (featuring the extraordinary vocals of Lingua Ignota), ÄTNA, Mentrix, Katie Gately and BICEP.
