This mix is simultaneously published on Headphone Commute:
“Welcome to another Headphone Commute podcast. You’re in for a treat! Peter van Cooten has been contributing countless reviews and mixes and there’s no sign of him slowing down! And that’s a great thing, because we certainly love the soundscapes that PvC introduces our ears to, with his intricate selection of layers, textures and most importantly, story-telling. The latter is what makes up a great selector, elevating him on par with the artist themselves, where the collage of sounds becomes more than just a mix, but a brand new piece of music. Enjoy!”

wow!
Pura poesía metafísica… para disolverse realmente en la inercia inicial de la que surgimos con paz, comprensión y gratitud.
Sensual & relaxing
such an honour to be included in a mix with Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, who opened my eyes to the wonders of electronics back n the 70’s
Thank you x
erg goed!
Really nice, Peter – I’m about 2/3’s of the way through it (popped it onto my phone) – you’re one of the few ambient mixers I’ve found whose mixes I will listen to…repeatedly.
Good bro
