The radio station that Elysium has been airing on since 2008 is closing shop, and this means an end to my regular releases of it. I could potentially do two more shows, but I have been needing a break for quite some time and so I will use this opportunity to explore some extended play mixes. I will be looking for a new home for Elysium, but it will be only a once a month show when and if it returns. I have been considering for a long time to discontinue Elysium for a variety of reasons. The main one being that it became more of a chore to do the show than I was having fun. The return to my EP mixes will mark a return of higher quality listening experiences, and better forethought to how I want you, the listener, to feel. I used to think Elysium should be a showcase of the best new songs out there, and while I think I did a very good job of that, the mixes became less about the listening experience and more about how can I arrange these new tracks in the least annoying manner. If Elysium the radio show doesn’t return I think will move it into a quarterly mix for each season of the year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). Anyways, I will keep everyone posted.
