Abduction Mix

 

It has been 70 years since the Battle of Los Angeles, an unexplained crossfire between the US military and something unidentified in the sky. What was it? We still don't know... But we do know that in the event of an abduction, you will need some music. For this purpose, I present to you - the Abduction Mix.

Go ahead and check to see if the aliens have an ipod adapter in the saucer, this mix will accompany you through the whole experience, from light funnels to probing.

MIX: A Nomad of Sand & Sea / tribute to Isabelle Eberhardt

After a big sapfest on Valentines, it's time to fill the hearts of those disenchanted with human contact. That's right, this mix goes out to all of the wandering hearts out there. The roamers. The explorers. The lonewolves. In honor of our sister nomad, Isabelle Eberhardt, who was born this day in 1877, we are gathering songs for the uncharted road. After losing the important people in her life, she refused the traditional role of women, left Swizterland for North Africa, where she traveled freedly, often dressed as a boy to avoid harassment. Her diary is a antheum for the free spirit.
