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.

Got another new mix up. Back to the CD length. This one leans more to a four on the floor beat, but there are a few breaks in there and a few different styles.

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.
