Aloka — Mixtape 001

Curated by Graham Slick

About the Mixtape

Some of these tracks live inside Graham's Sound Circle ceremonies. The playlist moves through kirtan legends Krishna Das and Bhagavan Das, Jai Uttal's devotional folk, and The Hanumen — featuring Portland's own Benjy Wertheimer. It includes Anoushka Shankar, daughter of sitar master Ravi Shankar, alongside the ambient healing music of Malte Marten and Chantress Seba, and the quietly radical folk of Philadelphia's Aly Halpert. It opens with Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely" and closes with "In a River" by Rostam — the Grammy-winning producer and Vampire Weekend co-founder who made one of the most quietly devastating solo songs of the last decade. One hour and five minutes of music that knows how to get out of the way.
