Days of Steam is a new mix series, in tandem with the eponymous radio show on N10.AS, hosted by Neonlichter. People play music - some danceable, some not - with no regard to age or style. Some of the guests may not even be producers or DJs.
Starting off the series is Vancouver-born, UK-based composer Norah Lorway (@norahlo), one of my dearest friends who is a formidable (and suitably lauded) artist and lecturer. Their label Xylem (which I’ve released on) has been releasing algorithmic and electroacoustic compositions since 2012. Their mix for us plays like a nostalgic mixtape where evocations of childhood and the club exist in tandem.
