Kevin Gabriel returns to Headphone Commute podcast with his latest offering, titled insistence on purity. This is a very eclectic selection of tracks, a bit gloomy and noir-fi, exactly how I like it, for the perfect mental image of the state you feel inside. I spent a whole day listening to this sonic weave of textures before writing down these words, imagining all of the descriptive adjectives I’d use to lure you into its conditions, finally realizing (as I always do) that music is indeed a more descriptive language. And so I leave you with this two-and-a-half hour journey which may inevitably lead you down the most feared path of your subconscious if you simply let it. And I say, you should…

Last time I published a ‘k” mix, I set off on my own adventure across Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Is it a coincidence, that this weekend I’m off to visit China? Perhaps this soundtrack is meant to be my sole companion through Asia. I hope it also will be yours, wherever your life takes you next.
