Matt - Summer is a bit of a mixed bag in the U.K. - it's either too hot to function, or somehow cold and rainy enough that you forget it's even supposed to be nice out. Thankfully, ambient music fits the mood for either, so this latest playlist is a selection of humid and aqueous downtempo tracks of all styles, running from DJ Python's tender deep club tracks to Mary Lou Williams' skeletal blues piano and Pole's expansive dub-techno (yes, I'm really stretching the use of the term "ambient" here). The Lonnie Holley track at the end is one I've had on rotation since seeing him play live earlier this year, which was one of the most moving sets I've seen in a very long time. The track is nearly 18 minutes long, but worth listening to every single second of it.
