Recently I was messaging with LLM guest mixer, Roquen Lómë, about Type records – an experimental record label that was active from 2003 to 2013. Founded by John Twells & Stefan Lewandowski in the U.K., Type released some creative music in those ten years ranging from delicate piano to sculptured noise to glitchy electronica to ambient to psych folk.
I thought it would be fun to create a mix of music from Type records catalog – then I looked at that catalog and, wow they sure did release a ton of music. There’s no way to make an exhaustive review of their releases so I decided to go chronologically through some of my favorites. That still only scratched the surface, I think I have more than 40 Type records in my collection.
It was nice listening to some of the recordings for the first time in years and I hope you too enjoy this little trip into the past.
Cheers!
