Warm Focus: Perihelion

A super eclectic set today. We start off as if we were scoring a Western, shift waves of synth-fuzz and California sunshine, get allllmost clubby before backing off into downbeat Blue Note and hip-hop influenced tracks. What does it all have in common? Hopefully: it transmits at least as much light as heat; it creates a space for you to hold attention, without being attention grabbing. Tweet @hoverbird and lemme know if it was working for you 🙏
