Merry Mixtapes
It's Christmas Eve tomorrow, so a lot of you people will take a plane, a train or the car to be with your family or friends. While us people in the southern hemisphere are sweating in the departure lounge, low temperatures and snow-storms are making it uncertain if you will make it in time. In other words, travelling is usually not the nicest thing and music on the radio is usually crap (especially during Christmas).
To improve the comfort of your journeys, I have compiled a list of mixtapes you should copy on your iPod before you leave. After all, these should make you forget about time.
First, here's a month old mixtape from Mono/poly, which just caught my attention (thanks â–²irhorn!). It was made for the Ficus podcast series and can be downloaded via their SoundCloud page.
Four Tet has given away a special mix to attenders of his night at London's Plastic People earlier this month. Luckily, this mixtape is now also available for download (via Beyondjazz).
Britain's Steve Spacek and Australian producer Katalyst form the group Space Invadas. To promote their upcoming releases, they have put together the Follow The Signs mixtape for you (via Trees for Breakfast).
London's Warm crew once again have some great mixtapes for you, the latest coming from Mark E. Check their sites for more new mixtapes from Move D and Faze Action!
The 499th episode of Beats In Space feature two great producers in one show: Detroit legend Juan Atkins and the UK's Ashley Beedle. You can download both mixes from the BIS Website.
Next up is a mix from Jneiro Jarel, that already got some attention on the net. On Can I Dub Your Tape? No! he surprises with a selection of dubstep and other bass-heavy music, a tracklist is available here.
Romania is known to have cold winters, hence TRG stayed in to put together a mixtape for all of us. His Arctic City Mix is available from his website.
I also want to mention that all mixes from LuckyMe are now available as proper podcast (iTunes link).
Enjoy the music and have a save trip. Merry Christmas!
Dec 24, 2009 I'm no different than the others, so here's some shameless self-promotion: Check the new podcast from Fulgeance!
