Perception Management (Mix)

“There is something in the beauty of darkness. And one doesn’t have to be in a dark mood in order to appreciate it. Perhaps one gets desensitized with age to all of the bitter layers, in order to uncover all of the sweetness – like a fine old whiskey, slowly aged and waiting for your taste.
This, I believe, Peter van Cooten understands the most, with his latest Headphone Commute offering, titled Perception Management.
The concept behind this mix also challenges your view of the world… The inspiration for this particular mix came from Adam Curtis‘ BBC documentary “Hypernormalisation“.

Perception Management
“Domo de Argila” – Andy Goldsworth

Your reality is manipulated.
 Your perception is managed.
Your thoughts are not your own.
Reality is imaginary.

    Have just been taken on a long journey by this mix again. The resonance and ability to unlock or nudge lost memories and associations is truly astounding.

    A masterpiece. Thanks Peter and all the artists whose tracks appear in it…. lots of scope for new music exploration.

      Bedankt voor het melden. Foutje in de broncode gecorrigeerd. Werkt inmiddels weer.

      Due to an error in the source code this mix didn’t play automatically in iTunes and in the Android App.
      It’s corrected now, works fine soon.
      Thanks for reporting

      Track is called ‘Aside’ by Ocoeur, from their album ‘Reversed’. Recommended album.
      BTW – you can find full track and timing details on the H_C site and in the post above
