Black History Month: Ambient Special by A Space for Sound

Ambient

February is Black History Month. To commemorate the occasion – a celebration of culture, achievements and contributions of Black people in the US and beyond – Crack Magazine will be sharing a selection of mixes curated by Black artists, featuring Black artists. From drone to punk, dream pop to indie, we’ll be highlighting genres that are historically seen – and treated – as white, despite having Black origins. Today’s mix comes courtesy of A Space for Sound.

Rena Anakwe is a Brooklyn-based artist, performer and healer. Her A Space for Sound project resides at the intersection of her various endeavours. Listeners are encouraged – supported, even – to find peace and respite through her sonic experiments, which bring together ambient sounds and healing frequencies.

Anakwe asks that we get into our imaginations while delving into today’s mix, which includes tranquil tracks from the likes of L’Rain, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Dyani. So sit back, close your eyes, and let your minder wander.

Sometimes underwater (feels like home) is out now via RVNG. Intl
