Frank’s mixes

So, I have another one for this month with a mix of brand new, new-ish and some old tunes. There’s a range of different styles on it (and one or two sketchy moments!), broken, different styles of house, funk and space-funk. I have another, even more diverse, longer mix planned and might get to it over the next week or so.

Here’s something else different. As with the last one, the idea was to get a range of stuff over a longer mix, but I also had been meaning to do a straight up all broken-beat mix plus a straight up all house mix. So, I decided to split this one up into three parts, beginning, middle and end, each around the hour mark and under 100mb. The first part has a mix up selection of down- to mid-tempo : space funk, bossa, breaks, hip hop, hip house, disco. The second part is all broken-beat ranging from deep to manic. The third part is all house with new-school mixed up with old-school.

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.).

Here’s a new one. Having had the mixes blog up for a few months now, it looks like the right frequency for new mixes is going to be monthly. Any more frequently than that and I’ll be recycling a lot of tunes which I wanted to avoid. If you are interested in hearing the new mixes but don’t want to check the site every day/week, just subscribe to the rss feed and as soon as the site is updated you’ll be notified. This one has mostly new stuff on it and has a blend of different styles. Starts off with a weird-ish jazz number, then a bit of Ethiopian jazz, some bossa and then some pitched-down-below-120 bpm deepness before getting a bit more manic, finishing off with a brand new rare groove - this 7″ (from Keith Allen’s daughter!) was only released last week and is already sold out (currently at £26 on ebay).

This is another one of my old favourite mixtapes. The tempo is mostly over 120bpm and there are a good few dancefloor tunes on it but it’s much more of a “headphones” mix rather than a party mix. It was ripped from a 90 minute cassette, encoded at 192 kbps and is in two parts.
