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.

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

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

Sorry for long delay in posting but I’ve had computer problems, still not fully resolved and between going on holidays and the macbook going in for repairs, I just didn’t get a chance to record any mixes until last night. This one goes from about 100 to 125 bpm and clocks in at around 85 minutes. Did this one at 320 which is probably overkill and I might post a 192 version for those on slower speeds
