After giving us A Guide To Hellthier Lifestyle, Bjarki continues to provide with a conceptual companion mix to detox from the world’s ills, stitched with ironic infomercials and sarcastic self help tape skits. As Bjarki puts it: “It’s a wellness mix with a narrative that reflects the present moment. A snapshot in time, a map of the sounds and artists I keep returning to. Some of these tracks hold deep personal meaning, reminding me exactly why I’m drawn to music in the first place.”
Featuring a generous variety from the Throbbing Gristle extended industrial family, as well as Swedish composer Egil Kalman, Bjarki’s “relentless pursuit of wellness” runs from jaunty, psychedelically blurred 70s pop and early pioneering synthesiser musicians like Raymond Scott to the tangling guitar picks and acidic pulses of Biogen’s Sigur Rós remix, to Cyclone’s classic, euphoric bleep techno cut ‘A Place Called Bliss’ and the seminal Shackleton production 'Undeadman' reminding us everyone starts from point one. Ingeniously cunning and tongue in cheek as this mix is, there’s plenty of bliss in between Bjarki’s unreleased blistering rhythms.
