We've had a nice run of guest mixes lately here at Low Light Mixes world headquarters. And that streak continues will a wonderful new set from Daniel Hawkins. Here his two previous guest mixes:
https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/dark-woods-by-daniel-hawkins/
https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/metallic-memories/
This mix has a perfect fall vibe. Here's what Daniel says about this collection of tracks:
"As I was saving some of the songs that I liked over the past few weeks, I noticed a bunch of them were guitar pieces - so I figured that was as good a reason as any to do a themed mix. For me the hardest part of doing the mixes is I end up with a lot of good music and have to make tough choices about what to cut from the final mix. There are just so many great musicians out there now doing superb work. So I just go slow and make changes - I think this is a cohesive mix with a nice flow - you be the judge."
Thanks, Daniel, for another excellent mix.
Cheers!

Berlin School EM Autumn 2025 by Erwin Broers
The king of Berlin School EM music, Erwin Broers, is back with a fantastic update to his regular series. This fall update just may the best yet. I listened to this while biking home from work, unsure whether it would fit the activity. Oh man, it was perfect! It kept me pedaling and focused while exposing me to fresh electronic sounds.
Here's what Erwin has to say about this set:
"Another look at what's been happening on the Electronic/Berlin School/Synth Music spectrum over the last months.
As might be expected, a variety of styles and vibes, so listen to the whole mix and I guarantee you'll find at least a few tracks to your liking.
All music is from 2025 and from a wide variety of countries including Germany, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Poland and even Argentina!

The Lonely Bell's Autumnal Ether Mix
I always like to create a mix for autumn but this year I got bust and never got around to it. Thankfully The Lonely Bell has that covered.
The Lonely Bell is Ali Murray who hails from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. He has been producing for ten years and I have been a fan since 2022's "Kingdom of the Deep." The Lonely Bell has a new album out so to celebrate we have this new mix.
Here what Ali says about this mix:
"As the seasons begin to change, and late summer gradually fades into the dark, cold, wet, blustery days of early autumn here on the Isle of Lewis (Scotland) - I wanted to create a guest mix of ambient tracks that aurally reflect the quiet sadness and barren beauty that fills the air (and the heart) at this time of year. These tracks have been soundtracking my days during this seasonal shift, and I find that each individual track is dense with this strange and mysterious form of autumnal melancholy that is simultaneously haunting and comforting....
The mix also coincides with the release of my latest album 'Time Beyond The Edges' - an album of collaboration pieces with fellow ambient artists and experimental composers from around the globe, which came out on Shady Ridge Records on Sept 26th. The mix is bookended by two of the tracks from this release..."

Some Good Train Songs by Paul Asbury Seaman
More than 8 years ago, Paul Asbury Seaman came to me with an idea for a mix. He would provide the theme and tracklist, and I would man the faders and knobs to create his first guest mix. Of course that first mix was a train-themed set.
Now, after 9 railway mixes & many hours traveling on the audio tracks, Paul brings us his tenth train-themed mix. This one is a b it different than the others so I'll let Paul tell you about it:
"To celebrate my tenth train mix for Low Light Mixes I’m doing a collection of vocal tracks. There are way too many great train songs to call this set a “Best Of,” thus the qualified title. (I have five CD-length train song mixes for my own use.) These are some of my favorites. And here’s several more to start your own playlists, that didn’t make the cut only because of time limitations: “People Get Ready” (several good versions), “City of New Orleans” (Arlo Guthrie), “Locomotive Breath” (Jethro Tull), “Long Train Runnin’” (Doobie Brothers), “The Midnight Special” (CCR), “Downtown Lights” (Annie Lennox version) and of course “Hear My Train a Comin’” by Jimi Hendrix (from the Winterland LIVE box set)."
Thanks, Paul, for another thoughtful collection of songs. Here's to 10 more excursions on the rails.
LINKS TO PAUL'S OTHER TRAIN MIXES:
2017 - THE MEMORY OF TRAINS
2018 - GALAXY EXPRESS
2019 - PLACES I'VE NEVER BEEN TO - AN ODE TO HIGH-SPEED RAIL
2020 - LULLABIES FOR A NIGHT TRAIN
2021 - MYSTICAL TRAIN
2022 - TRAIN SIX 56
2023 - LAST TRAIN HOME
2023 - TRAIN NO. 8 - AUTUMN EXCURSION
2024 - MORE TRAIN TRACKS

in slow time
This mix is pretty straightforward - all ambient, all new. It can be hard to keep up with new releases so I decided to put together a nice collection of new 2025 tracks. Turned out pretty darn good if I do say so.
