Hypnagogue Podcast

Skimming through the tanks one day, a pair of old-school-ish tracks caught my ear, so I decided to start there. After that, a quiet mood took over and I knew it was not the time to barge in and get all chatty on you. So we float, we glide, and we bring things back around […]

What’s in this episode? Oh, lots of new stuff, along with some remasters and re-imaginings, a single with a story, an album with a story, and…can you hit a curveball? ‘Cuz I’m throwing one. Start Robert Scott Thompson, Subaltern Locution, Telemetry (Remixed)6.20 Pietro Zollo, The Future is Now, The Future is […]

Since this happens to be dropping on Thanksgiving, I’ll say I’m thankful that you’re here to listen and that all these wonderful artists are kind enough to send me music to share. We’ll start our turkey day festivities in the library (and yes, there’s one of those…) and then, like that weird uncle who invites […]

This is very much one of the episodes where we follow the motto “the flow dictates the show.” Which is why it winds its uninterrupted way toward some darkness at the end. Maybe the slow onset of New England winter is getting to me already… Start Trem 77, The Fifth Compass Point Dub, […]

Seems like lately I’ve wanted to start shows by helping you get your groove on. I’m trying not to picture you twirling and spinning around the living room, but I must say I’d be glad if you were. You take it easy on the pelvic movements there, Elvis. This ain’t that kind of place. Fair […]

From powerful sonic medicine to jet-fueled sequencer rides to dreamy flute-borne drifts, this one takes you from the tanks to the library, where we find something that’s been tucked away on a shelf for…well, you’ll see. Enjoy. Start Steve Roach & SoRIAH, Steppe Traveler, Curandero7.08 La Ponto Ensemblo, III, Fragile Objects […]

Bust out those dancin’ shoes because this one kicks off firmly in the funk space. We’ll all settle down a bit after that and glide into a pretty mellow ride. I must have been feeling contemplative or something. Start Leo & The Goat, Ride, Shine3.18 Bill Brennan & Andy McNeill, Temple, […]

I’ve got a bunch of piano tracks I need to hand out, and then we’ll explore some other spaces. Gets a bit droney for a while, but I’ll bring you back up by the end. No stops, just goodness. Enjoy. Start Thomas Cunningham, The Man in the Moon, Exiled Heart5.51 Fiona […]

Kicking it off with some energy this time around, forging a path that lands at a comfy cafe somewhere in New Age Valley. And that’s just the first set! In the back end we’ll dig through a batch of recent compilations that will make it look like I’m shilling for one label. But we know […]

Once the first set tells its lovely story, I talk to you about it a little. Then we’re off again from a somewhat odd launching pad, headed into dark and quiet spaces. Start Hari Maia, Universalis I Pt. II, Universalis8.22 George Wallace, Cascades, Timeless17.32 Extasis, Navel 528 Hz 21.47 […]

A spacey start brings us in time to New Age Valley and the border of Jazzville (actually kind of the corner of Jazzville and Classicaltown) before heading back into some deep realms. The end of the voyage glides back into a contemporary instrumental zone and a bit of piano for a quiet landing. Have fun. […]

Back in the 160’s I did an episode where I gave artists I’d only played once a chance to be heard again. Now, through the miracle of science and the power of random number generation, we’re doing it again. A second chance for the second chance show! Enjoy the mix. Start Those Damn […]

Your enjoyment of the music time shall be undisturbed by your host insisting on speaking with you mid-flow. No, you’re on your own as this wends through drifty spots, familiar names and sounds, some grungy guitar, and…one of those. Start Henrik Meierkord, Marco Lucchi & Pawel Kobak, By The Gates, The Book of […]

I have nothing clever or interesting to say about this episode. It’s 90 in the Holding Tanks with a talky bit in the middle. I will say that the latter half of it, though it starts a bit uptempo and quirky, settles into a quite warm and reflective space by the end. Must be the […]

A short set from the Holding Tanks kicks off the ride, with a lengthy excursion into some shadowy, cave-y spaces. A bit of convo and we’re off for a nice deep dive into the stacks…and maybe things briefly get kind of weird. But you’re used to that by now. Start Marcanus, Adventus, Cinema […]

Settle in for a non-stop 90. It’s a bit all over the place, though mostly pretty sedate. I think you’ll probably be okay with it. Start John Scott Shepherd & Jamie Zarfas, Forms of Souls, Distant Moon9.57 Buenoventura, Kinderkette, Gelb13.19 break_fold, Variant, This Was Forever17.07 break_fold, Gadgie, Planner*21.21 […]

The ride this time opens with some New Age/contemporary instrumental style loveliness from the Holding Tanks, eventually finding its way into a territory lightly laced with a bit of funkiness because sometimes that’s how we roll. A talky bit, then it’s off to the cool comforts of the library where we start with a powerhouse […]

A non-stop swim through the goodness that is the Holding Tanks. Starting and ending with a couple fairly long ones. Start Senza Testa, Pralaya I, Pralaya21.29 Christopher Alvarado, Dragons Blood, Diamond Dust27.58 Hanetration, Foe, Instance33.50 Dirk Serries, Evocation, The Might Of Stars Sublime43.21 Ako Amo, Mantra1, What’s the Sound […]
