Bit later than planned, here’s a new mix. I’d been working on this for a few weeks but just hadn’t managed to find the time to record it until now. It’s another epic mix, the longest one so far with 47 or so tunes over three and three quarter hours and goes from 93 bpm up to 140 bpm with a mix of various styles and of old and new. If the 310 mb file is too big to download in one go you can also download it in three parts (each of which can work as a standalone mix).

So, here’s this month’s mix. A bit too long for one CD but not quite as long as previous “epic” mixes - it was originally planned to be longer but I trimmed out a good few tunes (which might make it into a future mix) before recording it - this one’s got Disco, Boogie, Broken, House, old & new.

Here’s another long-ish mix with a range of different styles, starting off around 100bpm working up to over 120 bpm. There are one or two sketchy segues in there but I don’t think I’ll get a chance to re-record it over the next week or so so I thought I’d put it up as is.

Got quite a few different styles on this one, so I thought I’d give it the above title. I was going to do it a bit longer with about 8 more tracks but the last record skipped near the end and I thought I’d take the cue to just finish it off, seeing as it’s a reasonable enough length as it is. This makes a total of four mixes this month: had a bit of a backlog since December, I guess. I’ll be sure to do at least one for March but no promises for any more than that.

Afro-beat, Balearic, Boogie, Bossa, Broken Beat, Disco, Funk, House, Jazz, Latin, Soul
I thought I’d try something different. This one is over twice as long as the usual mixes (which means it won’t fit on one cd - sorry). The idea was to try and get a lot of different types of stuff on it. Soul, Jazz, Funk, House, Broken, Latin, Afro-beat, Disco, Balearic. It’s a bit of an epic in more ways than one. I actually recorded (or thought I recorded) it on Monday night but the file didn’t save properly to my computer (had to happen for the really long mix, didn’t it) so after abandoning the third rescue attempt, I went ahead and re-recorded the whole thing last night in the same sequence, adding in one extra track (04.).

I had been meaning to do an eighties boogie mix for a while and I had also been toying around with the idea of doing a mix of eighties garage dub, so in the end I decided to roll them together into the one mix. There are also a few tunes that aren’t from the exact period but, I think, fit in with the same vibe: listening again to the Reel People tune was what gave me the idea to put it together.
