Soft Shock

So I djed at a house party on Saturday. I did so even though I forgot my songs. So thanks go out to Adam for being kind enough to mess around with his tunes. It reminded me that I haven’t posted up a mix on the blog for a while. So have this one. A non official blog mix full of electro goodness. Expect an official one later on this week.

Lion

Originally intended to be a mix for the weekend but real life interfered and i can finally get round to posting this now. Here are 5 songs for the week put together in a short little playlist form. Unlike my other mixes this one is dream like and features brooding disco, a sparse yet enhanced cover of Kanye West and the French version of Duffy (The unique voice, not the incredibly boring and bland part).

Perfect for an unplanned walk round the park during lunch.

Tracklisting

Chromatics – I Need Your Love

Fleetwood Mac – Caroline

Cat Power – Love & Communication

The Do – The Bridge is Broken

Francis and the Lights – Can’t Tell Me Nothing

V-Day Mix

Amidst the commercialism comes a mixtape that was done with some care and attention. Don't go for the Steve Wright in the Afternoon/Smooth FM route. Branch out, pretend that you have heard more than just Stevie Wonder and Take That. Please dont whack on the soundtrack to some crappy Rom-Com, try this out. A eclectic combo of rock, soul, rap, faux-reggae (in a good way), electro all with one common theme the word love. Disclaimer : I kinda stole the idea from the other guy from Soulwax aka the third dewale bro. His is pre party. Mine is After party (Like Jay-Z). Say after party wind down after this? Yo Mama vs AIB is free on sat night in Shoreditch. Either way enjoy.

In preparation for the hibernation that i have planned (exams this week) i am posting up the monthly mix. next year i will also be doing a monthly podcast with input from interesting folks.
