Göran ASIP keeps putting out high quality ambient music. Their label compilations is a great way to find new music.

Ur Trommler A stunning mix, made even more amazing by the joyous listening party last week - some of these tracks will become absolute favorites without a doubt. A+ release!
Favorite track: Tangeri.

Fabio Viola Hard to pick a fave but I'm going with OKRAA's because it's so majestic and hazy.
This is a great collection. The rhythmic parts have an almost Balearic feel to them, and it's great, like the closing track by Earth House Hold which sounds like a Cafe Del Mar version of a Southern Shores track. Alex Albrecht's track is suave, and the one by Quiet Places is so enveloping it makes you lose yourself in sound. Again, a truly great collection. Favorite track: Ola de Luz (Distante).

Manuel It’s hard to find words to describe how good 2023 has been for the ASIP label, and it’s even harder to pick a favourite from this collection of music.

Cheers to Ryan and all the artists involved! Favorite track: Continuous DJ mix.

about

A showcase of individual tracks from our 2023 label releases and a special continuous mix of select tracks from todos.

It has become somewhat of a tradition since our first annual compilation release in 2019, and each year I find it tough to separate tracks from their album releases in this way. We pride ourselves on delivering an album format, and more often than not, specifically a conceptual album format that works best as a whole. So I appreciate the artists who allow us to separate their musical children for this worthy annual exercise. It’s so easy to skip over releases nowadays - at no fault of anyone but the pace of life and technology today - and so this compilation not only helps us reflect on the year gone by, but also ensures anyone new to the label, or dipping in and out over time, can get a taster of what we have proudly spent our time and passion presenting this year. Please take the time to visit each respective artist release to realize its full form.

Not only is separating tracks from an album format a formidable task, but finding a way to combine them in one seamless mix is even more so. Once again, we’ve asked our esteemed todos to provide the continuous mixed version. Creating a flow using a limited predetermined set of music across a variety of styles, moods and tones is an almighty feat. But no-one does it better than todos. Here, he is left to his own devices as we have grown to admire time and time again, using snippets and samples from many of the releases, but focusing on delivering a long-form mix that stands on its own, using nothing but the ASIP 2023 library of music.

It was a year that introduced new faces to the label with Iceland’s Gunnar Jónsson Collider providing a spectacular audio-visual experience in S.W.I.M, and welcoming Germany’s Mary Yalex who explored imaginary worlds of fascinating texture and melody. We fulfilled a long-awaited foray into more classic trance styles through the exciting Mikkel Rev, and finally presented the magical drums of Alex Albrecht’s heart-warming soundscapes. Max Würden continued his foray into expansive sonics with Landmark, and Quiet Places returned with their second Volume of psychedelic long-form trips into the unknown. One Million Eyes returned with more compelling genre-defiant magic, and OKRAA brought his live edits of his debut album 1994 to life once more. 2023 will also be remembered as the year Brock Van Wey’s Earth House Hold project came both full circle and full stop. The last track title on this compilation coincidentally represents the perfect swan song for a project that has found a home on ASIP for the past five years.

Thanks for all your support, comments and encouragement this year.
