this mix was born in december 2024.
First part of three, in preparation for the darkest night of the year and the winter solstice. Going deep.
Find the other parts - "Long Night" & "Holy Night" (coming out on the 21st of December) - on my profile.

Because someone once asked me to make a mix for the deepest darkness, for the dark night of the soul. And it became a journey, and it became three, following the winter rhythms.
It's probably the strongest Late Night Tales journey I have ever created. Definitely the most energy-intensive.
With the best poetry/music weavings that have flown through my fingers - because I don't really feel that I made them...
So I invite you to follow me this December, ad embrace, willingly, the dark - if you find the courage...
