Here’s a little bonus, half-hour, Soul-Jazz-Funk-Disco mix. This was originally going to be the intro to the longer mix I had planned which included the one below but I recorded it at 128 kbps by mistake and in the end I thought it worked better as a standalone mix.August 07 Mix: 07-08-11minimix.mp3.

Hot on the heels of the last one, and seeing as I’ve bought quite a few tunes recently I wanted to listen to on the iPod, I got a bonus mix for y’all. Normal-ish length, with quite a few different styles and tempos: bit of a jazz flavour, a couple of bonkers tracks with varying tempo, three old school joints and the rest new/new-ish.

I thought I’d upload another one from the vault. This is one I did back in June 95 and reflects pretty well the type of stuff I used to play back then. It was ripped from a 90 minute cassette, encoded at 192 kbps and is in two parts.

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.

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.

I thought I’d do a mix of uptempo Jazz Dance tunes, tempos ranging from 130bpm to over 150bpm, old and new(-ish) tracks. For 08. and 14. I’ve given the name of the artists who actually performed the track. In both cases they are nominal “remixes” (of Jazztronik and 4Hero respectively), but the tracks were performed and recorded from scratch.
