Ard Bit

Today’s guest deejay is Ard Bit.

Ard first hit my radar when three of his tracks popped up in Roel Funcken’s mega-mix for Soundwave. Soon after, Ard’s music kept appearing on my Discover Weekly Mix on Spotify or various ambient mixes I came across. And each time, I had to check the playlist to find out who was making the fantastic music I was hearing. It was like the universe was telling me something. I took the hint and asked Ard to share a mix with us.

Ard says his mix is “a moment with some favourite tracks, mixing, manipulating and jamming live with the lyra and field recordings.”

And this mix is beautiful.

I’ve only had a week to listen to Ard’s mix and let it be the soundtrack for my morning walk with my dog. She and I go to the park to play ball. The park is under a path for jets, so it’s pretty dramatic. Ard’s mix seamlessly slipped into my environment and experience, lending a nostalgic cast for something happening now. The warm sounds, the static, and the sizzle played nicely off the jets’ engines. There are even sounds of dogs barking in Ard’s mix. Perfect!

Tell me how your listing experience went.

See you next week.
