Words + Mix WARDEN CA
Ambient isn’t a genre. It’s a feeling. It’s organic. It’s synthetic. It’s a dream. It’s an escape. It’s therapy. It’s a celebration. It’s space. It’s close. It’s instrumental. It’s vocal. It’s relaxing. It’s tense. It’s a long strange trip.
Warden CA have culled a collection of music from various decades, artists, environments and genres to ritualize the release of Throne of Blood’s fourth installment of the lauded Moon Rock compilation series. Tune in and space out…

Warden CA is a new Toronto-based project featuring Linus Booth and Bryce Kushnier making “experimental dance music” with like-minded loop sculptors. Their debut EP will land over at Lurid Music later this year. Booth also worked on DETOBEAT.’s recent ‘Cliffs’ record. As for Throne of Blood’s ambient side, the New York label doesn’t plan on pressing another Moon Rock compilation but that’s okay; there’s more than enough awesomeness to go around in the four streaming volumes below…
