1981.766* (HNY!)

Last year, in September, i was contacted by the calendar with some ‘news’. I had turned 30.

Responding in a typically British fashion, i decided to bolster my collection of 70’s + 80’s funk-disco records and make a 30 track mix (it has been pointed out to me that technically i am in my 31st year. thanks, douche bag)

Anyway, slightly belatedly, Happy New Year!

* 1981.766 is what you get if you’re on a long and boring train ride, and decide to look up the year of each song add them together and divide by 30, resulting in the mean. occurred to me afterwards that the median might have been more appropriate, but i decided i was sad enough already.

Keys Cut Here

New mix of beats i’ve picked up on travels through soundcloud this year. Most of these guys aren’t well known, so I posted links to their soundcloud pages in the tracklist (after the jump), case you wanna find out more….

It’s March 8th

So, i was late with this. and now i’m really late. i have no excuses, but i promise that this mix was at least 99% recorded in February.

Coupe Decale Master mix

So, this evening I’ve been enjoying the ability to access the internet from my own livingroom.

A simple pleasure for many living in the western world…..usually it seems.

But this isn’t about that, this is about the warm, happy sound that is coupe decale (apologies for the absence of accents)

Nicely put together by Belgium’s Tupolev Soundclash, for an hours worth of drum driven dynamite.

  

 

Thanks Ghetto Bass Quake (click link to get to download), I couldn’t top your choice of image.

Digital Meets Bloggers Uptown

Easy now. This is an old reggae and hip-hop mix that I put together a couple of years ago, but now that the weather’s come back strong I thought it might be the moment to dust it off, just in time for carnival.

Tracklist after the jump, foolz.
