When I put together Volume 1 (Synthetic Rebellion) I'd given up on a mix i'd been working on, dealing with a bout of writers block, threw all my different tunes into a single palette and just mixed whatever came to mind. It was a different mix than anything I'd ever played before but it was cool, not focusing so much on linear mixing but just a flow of sounds, tracks, and samples that blended together. Anyways, that's what bore the Abstract Series. Oftentimes real creativity comes on the heels of frustration.
That mix caught the attention of B.Helix as he shared a similar mixing style and he showed interest in collaborating with me on the concept. He's an artist and producer with a long history in music, not just electronic music but playing instruments, promoting, and just generally being involved in the music scene for a long time. Ben is a talented and humble musician and I'm honored to have him and his loyal listeners here to contribute to this thing we call Sound Stream Sessions, which started as a simple way to share and post mixes amongst my friends here locally, and over the years has taken on a life of it's own.
Volume 4.
B.Helix is ridin' solo for this fifth installment of the series using his signature style of blending different vibes and bpms, all while painting a coherent piece of art for the listeners to lose themselves in.
He starts us off with an erie, suspenseful intro, fitting the artwork crisply, flowing into a steady and smooth vibe with jazzy and atmospheric undertones. From there, we're off as he melds a wide range of sounds, utilizing tribal vibes, house, and experimental electronica, weaved together tightly at the seams. Never a dull moment, keeping the listener engaged, flowing efficiently thru various genres and tempos.
Definitely one of my top picks from the Abstract Series as the session represents the concept behind it so well. Buckle up folks. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for listening and keep it locked!
