I have two mixes I did recently that wasn’t completely happy with after recording but I thought I’d make them available anyway. The first was meant to focus on the “Broken Techno” sound and its connection to Jazz but I probably ended up with one intro track too many and left out a couple of more tracks that should have been included. I probably won’t bother redoing it so here it is on soundcloud:
Tracklist:
01. Static feat Voice – Alister Johnson
02. My Love (Meitz Remix) – Sofi Hellborg
03. I Dont Know Why (instrumental) – NS2 vs LEROY JONES
04. Black Sun – KODE9
05. Switch It – Jonny Miller
06. Psych Fro – Kenny Dope
07. Life On Venus – Afronaught
08. Nine Eight Zero (Remix) – Jonny Miller
09. Curvaceous ( Seiji’s Opaque Remix) – Titonton Duvante
10. Circus World (Zed Bias vocal dub) – SPOONFACE
11. The Horniest Panda – Altered Natives
12. Cosmic Drive (9th (dB) remix) – 9TH DECIBEL
13. Man With The Movie Camera (Domu Remix) – The Cinematic Orchestra
The second one is a sketch mix I did last month. It was meant to be the first part of a longer mix I just never got round to recording. There are a few good tunes on it from Domu, Recloose, Zed Bias, Atjazz etc. It starts at 130bpm, goes down to 98bpm and back up to 119 or so for most of it and there are a couple of alright segues but I just wasn’t completely happy with it so I didn’t put it up at the time. I’m just going to put up a megaupload link for it without a tracklisting:

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.
