50ft Radio

New year, new mix! How about that? I just cant give up on this series, I hold it to dear and still get emails about people discovering new music through them so it makes it all worth while. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and finally had time between life at large […]

I have wanted to get this posted for ages now, pieced together from music found through the past several months that I have been into and wanted to share. I still love squirreling away tracks into my 50ft Radio Playlists and I finally made time to put them all together to share. Music this time […]

I still love making these mixes even if I don’t find time to make them nearly as often as I would like but here we are on Volume Sixteen, still alive and kicking since 2010. I’m the turtle of online mixes/podcasts. This time around I have assembled a broad strokes kind of collection that will […]

I have had a new mix sitting in iTunes for ages. I started it back at the same time I started the last one and it has since evolved into what we have here today. It’s a catch up mix, music I meant to share long ago plus some recent favorites in there for good measure. Mostly […]

Finally, after over a year of its absence I think its high time to get the 50ft Radio series back up and running. I have had a few playlists in iTunes brewing this whole time and while at first they focused on specific genres, I ended up mixing them up for a more eclectic mix. A direct link to […]

It’s a new year so I think it’s time I wrap up my latest mix and share it with the world. I have been piecing this one together for quite some time now. It’s stuffed full of ambient tunes mostly devoid of words but this time around I took a couple of detours along the […]

Some of you may or may not know that I have long been associated with music, both in its creation and amplification as an audio engineer. My technical prowess revolves around concert audio but my heart lives in the music itself. While I have not actively made any music in years now I have slowly […]

You will find a few of my favorite artists as well as newly discovered ones I am excited to share. As always I encourage you guys to dig deeper if one of these songs speak to you. Pick up an album, check their tour listing, share on social media, most artists can use all the […]

As soon as I finished my end of the year list of my favorite music I knew I wanted to share a few favorites in a new mix so I took my existing work in progress, moved a few songs around and came up with what I have today.  I had originally planned on the […]

The first side I compiled with a mix tape in mind, something to pop in while driving, the second side toned down for evening. Most of the music on this volume is older because I figured that newly released music gets enough love already and there is so much great music from the past that […]

I have always had a great response from the mixes I have made in the past. It’s one of my favorite things to post around here actually. Introducing great new music to others is something I find a lot of joy in. In the past I was one of those kids often making and receiving […]

This side is for those of you who like the quieter side of music, something more for a calm day or to put on while reading perhaps. I really enjoy this one and tried to make it more varied than volume six’s all ambient all the time approach. I hope you guys discover something new […]

50ft Radio is back with the A side of volume seven. Side A is an exploration of more electronic and progressive sounds. A couple of last minute additions to the mix left it with a sharp left turn nearly right off the bat and I am curious to see what you guys think of it. […]

This time around I originally set out to make a mix for the winter with a touch of a holiday feel but it evolved like these always do and ended up being a mix of ambient music. Most of what you will hear here is piano driven but ventures into left field exploring ambient music. […]

I am happy to announce the availability of volume five of the series. While putting it together it grew to the point where I had to chop the list in half and offer up two sides to volume five so this time around you have two mixes of amazing music to explore. Two decidedly different […]

With warmer days upon most of us I felt it was prime time to put the finishing touches on it and make it available. Where the last mix was gentle, more contemplative music this time around I decided to let my love for electronic music hang out in the open. Most of the music found […]

I had a great mix of some of my favorite new electronic music to share but the more I thought about it the more I decided to hold off on that upbeat mix for a little while and release something more appropriate for the cold of the winter. Something for the quiet nights staying warm […]

I set out wanting to make a mix for the summer, for road trips, for hot nights and being played loud and booming. Something full of energy and heat. This lead to the music selection to be nearly all electronic in nature but I tried to still make it fairly accessible to those not too […]

The music I have assembled here ended up with a feeling of, lets say, organic exploration… Music that felt warm to me in some way either lyrically or sonically that conjures up some sense of peacefulness within an adventure. This is music for a day deep in the woods or standing on the edge of […]
