The Chillout Lounge Mix - Statecraft

Statecraft: The Art of Switching On. States are the hidden architecture of our days. Flow is one, meditation is another, but there are countless more: alertness, softness, focus, play, stillness, charge, surrender. Most people stumble between them unconsciously, pulled by tension or distraction. But states aren’t accidents, they’re instruments. This mix is designed to help you notice the shifts, move with intention, and turn everyday living from reaction into composition. 

They say home is where your hat is. For me, it’s where my headphones are. But beyond roofs and rooms, there’s another kind of home we all carry inside, a true home within. You might feel it in meditation, or in what I call Stillpoint, that moment of inner silence where breath, body, and mind rest in the same rhythm. I often find it after movement and flow. The first half of this mix invites motion, walk, run, dance, train, stretch, or simply let the body sway. Rhythm holds you so you don’t have to force it. The second half softens into ambience, perfect for meditation, reflection, or drifting toward sleep. And when the last note fades, don’t rush to fill the space. Let the silence remain, even for a minute.  

Flowstate is an immersion into rhythm, tone, and inner momentum. It’s not a destination, it’s a current. Something you breathe with, move to, and drift inside. This mix is designed to balance your system, smooth the edges, unlock focus, and soften resistance. Use it while training, walking, stretching, creating, working, meditating, cooking, reflecting, or doing nothing at all. Go to the website for playlists and info.

My recent live DJ set from the sublime Stella Polaris, the world’s biggest chillout festival, held in Copenhagen, Denmark. A mix born from love and the important little details, crafted with care, intention and emotion. It moves through deep cinematic ambience and reflective grooves to joyful after-dark tracks. Go to the website for playlists and info.

Delighted to have a new collaboration with the biggest chillout festival in the world, Stella Polaris (Denmark) and their sublime music label. This is a proud definitive pinnacle moment for me and I urge all my listeners to go deeper, listen to the label and join me in Denmark Saturday 21st June 2025 in the gorgeous gardens of Frederiksberg Have where I’ve been invited to DJ. Go to the website for playlists and info.

Introducing a very deep, out of the ordinary, super special mix about a big part of my life story. There are a couple of unreleased Tim Angrave tracks at the end. Let me know if you’d like these released on Bandcamp or if you’d like me to start a music label based on the podcast? I've thought about this for a long time and have the wonderful Pete Gooding to advise on the best way to do this. There is a lot to unpack and digest here, for more in-depth info...
