Midnight in a Perfect World: Adam Wiltzie

Adam Wiltzie is a renowned New York-born, Brussels-based composer who has been massively influential within the realms of contemporary ambient, classical, and drone music. He's the co-founder of seminal projects Stars of the Lid (alongside the late Brian McBride), The Dead Texan (alongside Christina Vantzou), Aix Em Klemm (alongside Bobby Donne), and A Winged Victory for the Sullen (alongside Dustin O'Halloran), as well as a solo artist. He released his latest solo album Eleven Fugues for Sodium Pentothal on April 5th through his longtime label, Kranky Records.

For his exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Adam provides the listener with a "Sunday Evening Sleeping Aid" as he pieces together evocative instrumental pieces in the ambient, classical, drone, and minimal realms in sublime and soothing fashion.
