What can I say about Ben Lukas Boysen that I haven’t said before? I consider this man as one of the most talented electronic music producers of our times, with his infinite manipulation of digital and acoustic sounds, keen ear and attention to detail, and gorgeous modern classical appeal. I’ve been following the musings of […]


Kicking off a mix with a track by Arve Henriksen is a sure way to grab my attention. Moving on with familiar pieces by Autistici, Helios, The Green Kingdom, and Field Rotation is a delightful reminder that we all live in the same head space, even with vast distances apart. Rounding up with an exclusive track […]


HC proudly presents the first volume in the Residuum mix series, a collection of isolationist ambiance and reductionist microsound meticulously curated for a deep listening experience. For an optimum indulgence I recommend a dark and quiet place, preferably horizontal positioning, and a really good pair of open-back headphones. This particular voyage is designed for perception […]


Happy Tuesday and welcome to another installment in Headphone Commute mixes. Today I’ve got another special treat for you – one I know that you’ll enjoy for the years to come (and yes, I do mean years). After gracing these pages and your ears with his staple post-IDM DSP-rich crunchy sounds, Roel Funcken returns with […]


If you have been following my musings throughout the years, you know that I have previously sang praises to the Australian Enig’matik Records run and operated by Jake Rose, aka Sun in Aquarius. Specializing in spectacular sound design, glitchy IDM, and emotional electronica, the label has been trudging along with a steady release schedule of digital EPs […]


After his very inspiring and beautiful tribute to Brock Van Wey, Saimon Saimonse returns to our sonic waves with a selection of his favorite modern classical and cinematic music. And the best part about this mix is that most (if not all) of the pieces are some of our favorites as well! Here you will find selections […]


I’ve got sounds for every occasion… And today’s featured mix is unlike any other previously showcased on Headphone Commute. Actually, nuits, has already appeared on our podcast with his Jungle Fusion mix, to which you guys have responded very well. And so I’m treating you to a follow up. I’m positive that among you exist, like myself, […]


One of the most unique listening experiences comes courtesy of Mr. Wi$e, a US based DJ who decided to take the art of mixing to the next level. Using an enormous collection of found sound through the vast network of creative commons, he assembled a sonic story which tells a tale over a set of […]

Inspired by our podcast series, Alastair Kelly puts together a mix outlining his daily headphone commute via Ryde Pier, on the Isle of Wight, UK. This aural journey recreates the feel of a “long walk out onto the sea, beautiful scenery, and lots of wildlife.” Skim the playlist and you should be excited for this brisk […]

On a cold and windy February morning, we are traveling into the world of Bartosz Dziadosz, a Warsaw based composer recording under the name Pleq. I’ve watched Dziadosz evolve over the last few years and slowly settle down into sublime and blissful ambiance showcased completely on this mix. Just skimming through the tracklist your eyes should land […]


Peter van Cooten has been a long time friend and a co-conspirator in our quest to turn more ears towards ambient and cinematic music. It is a great honor to have Peter put together a mix showcasing his favorite selections from ‘… and darkness came‘ compilation which has been released exactly two months ago today! I […]


Without a doubt, among the instruments of the world my favorite is piano. I’ve got a baby grand of my own, and whenever the house is silent I gently fill it with my notes. Piano has become such a force in contemporary electronic, ambient, and of course, modern classical music, that I’ve devoted an entire […]


There are days and even weeks when things just don’t go as they’re planned. Do you know what I mean? You start off in the morning with a few scheduled tasks, only to find out that you trip up along the way on minuscule obstacles that frustrate to no end. Perhaps it’s a simple network connection, […]


Brock Van Wey is extremely prolific. Any time I share his music with an unsuspecting audience they get drowned in awe. And every time they start the journey across his vast catalog it just swallows them whole. Today’s podcast is dedicated entirely to the works of Brock van Wey, showcasing his most known moniker, bvdub, as […]


In case our Best of 2012 lists are not enough, here’s a 70+ minute mix for you of the best releases of the year. That’s right, we continue the celebration of music from 2012 with this special vinyl-only mix from Mike Jedlicka of Optic Echo radio. This has now become an annual tradition on Headphone Commute – […]


Over two years ago, :papercutz recorded a mix titled Dream Scores for Headphone Commute, which till this day is our most popular podcast on our Mixcloud page (with over 12,000 listens!). Before 2012 is over, Bruno Miguel returns for the second installment in this cinematic journey! So without further ado, here is the introduction from Bruno […]


I’ve been listening to so much ambient and modern classical music, courtesy of my benefit compilation, … and darkness came, of course, that I honestly need a little break. The end of the year is also upon us, and I must cleanse my palette in order to properly revisit all of my favorite albums of 2012. […]
