Originally released on Future So Bright, the debut long player from Timothy and the Apocalypse. The Mindful Cherub, plays off conventional desires for HipHop Radio and commercial meditation with soothingly illusionary chimes and 60’s psyche escapism.Upon releasing Future So Bright, his critical update to downtempo electronica demanded the attention of playlist curators landing The Mindful Cherub on Spotify’s Just Chill and NightShift, setting him among contemporaries such as Peggy Gou and Oneohtrix Point Never.
“The Mindful Cherub, is sure to entice anyone who recognises David Lynch as an exceptional electronica artist as well as an incredible filmmaker.

Here within this selection of remixes, the core concept of mindfulness refreshes how you hear the original track. Leading with a remix by 9 Theory (a prominent figure in downtempo house who has worked with Emancipator and Jason Mraz), the LA-based producer focuses on building tuned percussion from the available harmonic structures cultivating a calm introversion, whereas Floating Pyramids is grounded in an organic determination, allowing the haze of vocal samples to swirl past without interference. Time Meddler’s contribution is a clear and present cut, elevating the key identifiers of the original into a crystalline view.
Where the original track placed acid jazz alongside retro-futurism, these revisions integrate the space, textures and time for reflection on all things modern.
