The Avalanches – Some People Mix

The Avalanches – The Gimix

I've always had a real passion for mixtapes/dj mixes, making them, listening to them and I reckon pretty much everyone born post 1971 has at some point made a mixtape, or a at the very least a compilation/playlist. In essence that is pretty much what DJ'ing boils down to, selecting a bunch of tracks that take the...

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Bellbottoms (U.N.K.L.E. Remix)

Today was a short drive into work with the family and so there was plenty of chatting etc but little music, so I am giving myself another freebie. On Tuesday I had a track all lined up but then decided to go for the Friends track. I thought that I would post the other...

Todd is New Each Moment – Uneasy Dreams

As a kid growing up in the early 80's it was very hard to not plug into the New Wave Indie synth scene, and over the last few years there's been a  resurgence in that kind of straight to VHS soundtrack sound. Understandably most people take the core elements of that sound and place it...

The Dead Rose Music Company – Soothe My Mind
