This is my official end-of-the-year roundup mix. More or less a "best of" selection, although of course a lot of stuff didn't make it, especially from the isolationist/ambient or folk/singer-songwriter realms - it just didn't fit the mood of the mix and, more importantly, I actually prefer that kind of stuff unmixed. Anyway... Still, when compiling this mixtape, I reminisced back and I can just say - what a great year it was! Wasn't it?

*** Yeah, and this goes...

An austere, minimalist ambient set I played at Organic Sounds event in Riga, Latvia (the successor of the great series of chillout Wednesdays in 2010, Om Tree). An uneasy journey from despair to acceptance.
