Following in the wake of Rrose + Silent Servant double LP compilation in 2020, James Healy’s impeccably curated compilation series ‘Air Texture‘ marks its 8th instalment, this time co-curated by Brooklyn-based selectors Anthony Naples and DJ Python.
Spanning 18 tracks, ‘Air Texture VIII‘ sidesteps the traditional ambient and modern classical leanings of the series to instead feature uptempo and experimental workouts courtesy of a swathe of producers including contributions from Aurora Halal & DJ G., Waon P, Organ Tapes, Huerco S, Beta Librae, DJ Trystero, downstairs J and Meitei.
‘Air Texture VIII’ is scheduled for release 10 June via Air Texture. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
