Summer is finally here. Fun in the sun, getting tanned while watching the beautiful clouds go by, if your sky has any. In this episode, Ireland's deep techno and ambient musician lover Graeme Sun compiles a list of his past favs. Graeme claims to me that this mixtape was compiled a year ago, so it's time to bring out this special somewhat close to a classic mixtape onto the Cloudcast podwaves. The episode starts off with some nice jazz, moves on to some classic soul, to rock pop and then it blends into a miniset of gorgeous deep techno in the mix.
