The drums and the atmospheric pads are really beautiful and the mixes capture that old school drum and bass nostalgic sound vibe!

Channel Description:

Atmoteka is a project that has come to existence through and because of deep and authentic adoration of atmospheric dnb. A radio show in the past, now a series of monthly podcasts/mixes brought to you on every first Sunday of each month. Each subsequent mix will be recorded especially for atmoteka by a special guest closely involved with atmospheric dnb – be it today or in the past.

Cutting edge Autonomic Drum & Bass artist. Fresh beats and positive smooth melodies with powerful basslines.

Past Lives Album

One Hundred Steps EP

My goto Ambient music artist from Sweden. All of his discography is beautifully produced and pleasantly warm in both melody and rhythms.

I think the main defining characteristics of Motionfield is calmness, allowing for quiet meditation. Yet still the tracks feature subtle drums and swishy air pressure sounds that tickle the ear.

Favorite Track: Midnight Metro from Optical Flow

So peaceful, I can envision sitting on a bus at night, looking out the window. Feeling so calm on way to my destination. A song I reach for when needing calm mind and solitude.

The Sound of Snow

Suduaya is a french guitarist and producer (Melodic Psytrance and Downtempo). After many years working on different bands (heavy metal, rap, ethno/world/fusion) he released in 2011 his first psytrance track on the Klopfgeister’s compilation “Stand up against gravity” (Iono Music). He joined Altar Records with his album “Dreaming Sun” (September 2011), followed by “Unity” which came out in 2013

I think the main defining characteristics of SUDUAYA are well chosen notes, powerfully subtle drums and overall positive healing vibes.

Favorite Track: Stellar Rebirth

All elements just seem to come together to unify into a song of beauty that is very rare - the exhaling sounds - the female vocal sample and the sublime beauty of the melody. Then add the groove of the drum beat and you have pure bliss.

Lustrum Preview clip

I am really loving this deep house DJ from Germany lately. Smooth mixes every Friday. I will continue to follow DJ Deekaa as they release weekly mixes.

Latest ambient mix - by Tom Middleton

Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton have pumped out a lot of highly acclaimed ambient and downtempo electronica since the 90's. I have always been a huge fan of Global Communcation since I first heard 76:14 a few decades ago.

I think the main defining characteristics of Global Communication are beautifully arranged melody, uplifting emotion and uniquely designed drum patterns.

All time favorite

La Soleil Et La Mer is my all time favorite song by Global Communication. The synth melodies are very warm and pleasant and the unique drum timing has a hypnotic effect.
