   English soft rock aficionado Deejay Greenman has returned with his sequel to last month’s Write Your Lucky Number (Gentle Daps XXIV).

   Gentle Daps XXIV: Guest Mix by Deejay Greenman

   Brighton-based Deejay Greenman caught my ear a few months ago with his excellent Mixcloud series of smooth AOR. I knew his knack for picking out wonderfully soft adult rock from the ‘60s, '70s, and '80s would make him a great fit for Gentle Daps. Lucky for us, he heard my call and put together…

    Portland-based ambient artist Opaline has gotten regular coverage here on AiMT, so I am thrilled that he’s been kind enough to offer up this latest entry in the Gentle Daps series.

    #034: 1080p Spotlight

    Vancouver-based tape label 1080p has been one of the most covered if not THE most covered label on AiMT over the past couple of years, so it’s only right that I give it a proper spotlight in the form of this 50-minute mixed tribute sampler, which features all dance and experimental material from...

    #033.5: Mike & Rich — Beatless Ambient Demos

    I can still very vividly recall the first time I heard ambient music. It was during my teenage years. I popped in the record store at our local mall—a Sam Goody or something like that—and picked up Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II by Aphex Twin. I had read about ambient but had never actually…

    The new age revivalist sounds of elusive Lake Geneva-based producer Inner Travels have been featured on previous Gentle Daps episodes, so it is my privilege to let him curate his own mix, Welcome the Day, for the series.
