The Deep Breakfast mix series has slowly (quite quickly compared to my isolatedmix efforts!) become one of the greatest ambient-leaning mix series around, pulling in some of the finest curators and artists to grace our small world. From well-known artists and DJs to passionate music collectors, it seems Francesco, the curator, is intent on hosting a series truly meant for every corner of the ambient spectrum.

The name of the mix series gives you an idea of what to expect, and for my submission, I battled hard with what style to attempt in order to live up to the many great mixes that have been featured before. Breakfast to me – deep or not – can often be light and uplifting – chill or even dubtechno on some mornings. But similarly, a deep breakfast may also mean the edges of light at 4 or 5am… and this is more the route I went with this mix. Look out for some of the many upcoming ASIP tracks featured in this one!

Big thanks to Francesco for the invite, and I hope you all enjoy the mix.

Basil Cook has announced he’s resigning as the Senior Label Manager at ABC Music, ending a tenure that’s spanned nearly 15 years.

The announcement came in a post shared to Cook’s LinkedIn page this morning (July 22), describing his time at the public broadcaster as “an amazing ride” and noting that he’s felt “so fortunate to enjoy a long list of career highlights working for the label”.

Cook’s statement continued: “I have had the privilege to work with some truly amazing bands, artists, managers, and staff over the years, and I’m going to miss many things departing soon, but I feel right now that I need to take a risk and see what happens!

“To everyone along the road, thanks for your involvement in my working life – see you in the pit!”

Cook’s final day at ABC Music will be this coming Friday (July 26). His replacement has not yet been announced.

Cook started working for ABC Music in January 2010, first as a Digital Music & Strategy Manager, before being promoted to Senior Label Manager in September 2013.

According to his LinkedIn, Cook supervised the labels team across triple j, country, children’s and alternative releases, led “the management of new and existing artists regarding contract signing and negotiation”, assisted in coordinating release schedules and campaigns, and handled “content creation and management of digital exploitation in addition to the secondary digital exploitation of existing back catalogue product”.

Separate from his responsibilities at ABC Music, Cook has worked as the Board Treasurer for the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR) since 2014, and as the self-employed director of the Sydney Ramen Festival since 2021. The latter event ran from June 17 to July 29 for its 2023 edition, but has not (yet) been confirmed to return for 2024.

Embarking on a bold creative era, three-time GRAMMY Award-nominated and BRIT Award-winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and guitarist James Bay unveils a brand new single entitled “Up All Night” with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan out now via Mercury Records.

It notably stands out as his first official studio collaboration with GRAMMY Award-nominated superstar Kahan and GRAMMY Award-nominated group The Lumineers. Most importantly, it heralds the arrival of his anxiously awaited fourth full-length album, Changes All The Time, out September 20, 2024.
“”Up All Night” is all about navigating the great weight of all the stuff that plays on our minds and keeps us awake at night,” says James. “I have some great history with Noah and The Lumineers. We manifested this collaboration for a while and I feel proud we could make it happen!”

About the collaboration, Noah Kahan commented “It was an absolute honor to be asked to join this amazing song. // Continue to the full article

Blind Pilot have shared the opening track to their first album in nearly a decade, “Jacaranda,” which serves as a bold declaration of reclamation and renewal from bandleader Israel Nebeker. Penned on a formative trip to Mexico City, Nebeker leaned on Blind Pilot co-founder and longtime friend Ryan Dobrowski to help overcome a years-long struggle with writing new music. Behind the group’s free-flowing arrangements and full-hearted harmonies, “Jacaranda” serves a show of gratitude for their lifelong partnership and unwavering trust in one another. Nebeker remembers: “we were in a park hanging out under these giant jacaranda trees in full violet bloom, and it turned to a song of thanks to him for being so patient with me.’
