Frank’s mixes

Got a new mix up for this month and have another one planned over the next week or so. This one features a lot more vocals than usual and definitely has a summery inspiration with a bit of latin, broken, house, jazz & soul…

Got round to doing another mix last night and I went about this one a bit differently. I had planned a long-ish mix and had most of my tunes selected and couldn’t decide the exact order of tunes - I had about three alternate playlists with the same tunes. I ended up deciding to do it on the fly and even though it’s mostly the same tunes, I went for what sounded right and what I was enthused about playing right at that time. Even if it’s a littler rough around the edges, it makes, I think, for a more spontaneous sounding mix - sometimes it can be a little dead-sounding if you’re going through the motions on a predetermined playlist.

There’s 14 tunes, a mix of broken beats, four-four, breakbeats mostly around 127 bpm and concludes with three tunes which have the drum pattern divided into triplets.

Got a new mix for this month and I hope to get one or two more done before the month is out. This one starts at 113bpm, goes up to 128bpm and has a mix of house, jazz funk, broken and acid and clocks in just under the two hour mark

Apologies for the hiatus, here’s a new mix. I had planned this as a longer mix but thought the first part worked better as standalone. I’ll try and get to the other part over the next week or so. This one goes from around 105 to 120 bpm

Meant to post this before - I have a review of some recent releases over at Bodytonic

So here’s the second mix I had planned for this month: I’d been feeling a few of these tunes recently and thought I’d do a more uptempo mix with them. It’s 126bpm all the way through, mostly house with a couple of broken beat tracks at the start and going a bit deeper towards the end

I have two mixes for this month. The second one is more uptempo and house orientated, this one is midtempo and funk orientated and kicks off with Liquid Love by the great Freddie Hubbard who passed away recently

I’ll be djing at Global, this saturday in the Twisted Pepper Middle Abbey Street, Dublin alongside live percussion. The last one I did back in May was a lot of fun…

Got a new mix finally laid down last night. This was originally planned to be part of a much longer mix and I already recorded the first part (which I might put up as a bonus warmup mix) but I thought it would sound better stripped down to this shorter version. All at 124bpm, breaks and 4/4, a bit of jazz funk flavour and some big basslines
