This mix of ambient, drone, and field recordings focuses on what is called China ambient. Unlike Chinese ambient music, which typically refers to works by Chinese nationals, China ambient encompasses producers and artists connected to China in other ways. This includes members of the Chinese diaspora as well as non-Chinese artists who have lived, worked, or spent significant time in the country. The mix aims to highlight this niche geo-style and bring attention to the small but intriguing ambient scene linked to China.

This collection of songs was curated by Brad M. Seippel, aka thruoutin, who is an active member of the Chinese music community and the founder of Seippelabel.

这张 mix 作品融合了氛围音乐、drone音墙以及田野录音，聚焦于我所称的“中国氛围”。与通常指由中国公民创作的“中国氛围音乐”不同，“中国氛围” 指的是那些以不同方式与中国产生联系的制作人和艺术家。这其中既包括华人侨民，也包括曾在中国生活、工作或长期停留的非华裔音乐人。本 mix 旨在呈现这一小众的 geo-style，并引起人们对与中国相关的独特氛围音乐场景的关注。

本次选曲由布拉德·赛普（艺名 thruoutin）策划，他是中国音乐圈的活跃成员，同时也是赛普厂牌的创始人。
