Mathias Van Eecloo has been extremely prolific with the curation of his very own Eilean Records. I honestly can’t keep up. This year alone, he has already put out 16 records, each one with a point on the imaginary map of music. At the end of 2016, Headphone Commute featured a mix with a selection from the imprint showcasing the catalog to the busy listener unable to consume individual records in time. It’s a fantastic [re-]introduction to Eilean’s ambient landscape. This year we thought we’d do the same. So here’s the 2017 installment of eilean rec. releases, compiled by Mathias himself, 16 tracks from 16 records, to reveal a few more points, for your ever-discovered sonic terrain.
