Do you remember our regular contributors Waterplea who were with us from the beginning? They prepared their first solo LP to be released here. Let you not be tricked by a short tracklist for it’s a 40 minutes trip with detailed conception, ever-changing pace and mood. It takes you from your chair/sofa/bed to a deep sleep state, laying a road before you and inviting you to visit unexplored worlds drawn with blended colors of rich imagination of the authors. Traversing dark ambient soundscapes through intense vivid beats to engaging downtempo grooves this solid music piece touches dozens of different styles and evokes a broad range of emotions and pictures in listeners head.
As authors say the album was mostly composed sequentially, that’s why it was decided to keep the most of it in a single track to underline the theme of one thing transforming into another as your thoughts move from it as it often happens when you sleep. When one is seeing a dream it is hard to tell when it started or how he got here because it’s in a constant change yet all is still connected. This album is something you’d probably like to return to, because of its multilayered atmosphere and numerous details that make listener want to give it another shot to explore something he missed before. There was also a limited number of physical copies printed; images created for its booklet are included in the archive.

Living in remote coastal area of northern Norway influences Havdis to create long calm melancholic ambient compositions. Slowly changing pads mixed with field recordings can remind Brian Eno’s and even maybe Angelo Badalamenti’s works (Beluga). Album has everything you could want from the purely ambient genre.

Havdis – A fresh breeze of ambience from Norway – by “The lost gterma…”

Imagine that on your endless flight through vast outer space engine power went down and you’ve lost any connection with your home planet.
Imagine you lost everything you have, everything you love, everything you own. There is no home, no family, no friends anymore. No goals, no plans, no career.
Just you and infinite space. The only thing that you have so far is your life experience which isn’t so useful anymore and memories that could help you not to loose your mind.
What would you do? How are you going to survive? Is there any hope?
Those are the questions PiXtar tries to answer in his third album. Techno-ambient atmosphere with a light shade of industrial new age and lounge and recognizable top notch multi-layered PiXtar’s arrangements can help you experience feelings of a man that is lost in space.

This time Mixgalaxy Records made a special compilation for Mr. Danny DeVito. Why? Because nobody has never done this for him before. At least officially. We sorta didn’t know what kind of music he prefers so we’ve set up a tracklist of a wide variety of genres for him to pick from. We decided that making it a private release would be unfair to our listeners so you all are very much welcome to give this record a listen and share it with your friends of course.
It’s an easy bet to say that for Mr. DeVito all the names here are new, however for our regular listeners this release is once again a mix of old timers (even including Jacobo – a raggae-dub side project of Sinestesia) and a couple of guest artists which we would like to present. Meet Abel Mariam from San Jose, California, USA who contributed an opening track and meet Russian-Norwegian duo Zunzagi which consists of sound producer Sergei from Tomsk and singer Julia from Oslo. And finally welcome Without Time band form Grodno, Bealrus.
So, as you can expect from Mixgalaxy Records it’s a nice one hour set of good tracks fluctuating from easy listening and folk-pop to electro-house, breakbeat and even hip-hop. And if by any chance you are an acquaintance of Mr. DeVito – make sure to pass him the link, that will do us all a big favor.

A year has passed since the birth of Russian netlabel Mixgalaxy Records and with that time sweeping past there were 15 releases of very diverse genres with many tracks worthy of mentioning “Yes, we released that!” And to celebrate our first birthday we prepared a special compilation which opens our ‘Best of’ series. It was gathered from our best tunes released during 2009-2010 that are the most epic, the most catchy, the most melodic, the most deep and the most chilly tracks in downtempo, ambient, chillout and new age genres from our Russian and Ukranian residents. Thanks for being with us and stay tuned!

With this album we continue our release line dedicated to soundtracks for non-existing movies started by Restin in MIXG008. ‘Eleven’ is the first album written by Alien S, the author from Tumen, Russia who used to open or close Mixgalaxy Records compilations with his outstanding productions. And the very first track on our very first compilation is the track which opens this album as well. If you want to know how it sounds like, we can tell you it has something from Paul Oakenfold’s ‘Swordfish’ soundtrack and maybe it could be influenced by Juno Reactor works. So take a sit, turn your audioplayer on, close your eyes and try to create a blockbuster ‘Eleven’ in your head.

Time for a huge compilation! Once again a bunch of regular Mixgalaxy Records artists alongside with a few special guests share their gems with openminded people. There are vocal pop, lo-fi punk, abstract hip-hop, 8bit, breaks, idm, ambient, downtempo tunes and even tango! If you love all kinds of implementations in music as we do, download the whole album at once and enjoy. However, if you look for something special, we’re sure you can enlarge your collection with a couple of these compositions.
Our listeners already know most of the represented authors here. So let us introduce you the guests. The first one is Zhenya Ringo, an expirienced music producer from Minsk, Belarus, the author of projects ‘Spi4ki’ and ‘NPKiS’, one of the fathers of Belorussian underground electronic music movement. The second one is a new conceptual project from Vologda, Russia called Metaharmonics. They kindly agreed to share their electro-pop hit ‘Earth’s Answer’. Also meet Grosse, a fan of acoustic melodic lo-fi forms and YARA, Russian ambient/idm producer from Volgograd who gave us track ‘Old Sky’ from his recently released album ‘With closed eye’. And finally we’re really proud to present one very special guest Salman Aditya from Indonesia(!) who brought us some very exotic and funny tune. We can assure you that you can hardly find something like this on European or American scene because of it’s strong Asian culture flavour.
More than that, we’ve got second official Mixgalaxy Records videoclip. You can read more about it here.
So, to make a long story short, it’s one more compilation from a few Mixgalaxy Records goodfellas with interesting, beautiful and creative music.
