As 2017 kicks into high gear and 2016 fades into the background, Air Texture founder James Healy has two things on his mind: the left-field listens he can’t quite shake, and the work that lies in the months ahead. Namely the looming release of Air Texture Vol. V, a double LP featuring choice selections from Spacetime Continuum and Juju & Jordash. As we patiently await its arrival, Healy has been kind enough to share an exclusive mix under his Natural Sphere alias, a “playlist for cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway to the M6, across Myrtle Avenue with a stop over at Görlitzer Bahnhof.”
