'Covermount' Mix

2nd mix in a month - churning them out now. This was inspired by some of those covermount mixes that come free with magazines - in particular Erol Alkan's One Louder mix for the now defunkt Muzik, Mixmag presents Radio Soulwax, and actually Fatboy Slim's excellent Beat Up The NME - before he went (too) cheesey, 20 tracks crammed into just under an hour without sounding forced or gimmicky, mixing relatively commercial tracks with more obscue ones and basically showcasing an entire scene. That old tape stayed in my Sony walkman for a long time, though i'm avoiding finding a digital copy on line as i somehow don't think it will sound anywhere near as fresh as it did back then.

Anyway, sentiments aside, this i a bit of anoverview of what I'm playing in my sets right now, there's a few obvious tracks / artists on this one, but hopefully lesser know ones too, and I've tried to slip in a few more tracks than usual into the hour time frame. Hope you enjoy it.

Keeping it minimal

Simian Mobile Disco - Wooden (Uncut)
Friends Electric - Burning Desire (instrumental)
Dahlback & Dahlback - Bempa

Here's my latest chart if anyone's interested. All tracks can be found from the usual places....

Cut Copy - Hearts on Fire (Joakim Remix)
- Simply brilliant, might be my favorite thing Joakim's done, and that's saying something.

Snax - Honeymoon's Over (Konrad Black Remix)
- Discovered this on Ewan Pearson's excellent Fabric Mix CD. A summer smash if ever there was one.

Aliens - Robot Man (Riton Re-Rub)
- 'I am the robot man!' Wicked little electro remix from Riton

Sebastien Tellier, Mr Oizo, Sebastian - Chivers as a Female
- Lovely number from the 'Steak' soundtrack. Shame its so damn short.

Dahlback & Dahlaback - Bempa
- Filthy acid number on Tiga's Turbo Records. Starts off really minimal then just explodes.

Trevor Loveys - Finger Jackin' / Organ Grinder
- Everyone loves the Organ Grinder for it's DJ Shadow riff, but I think I prefer Finger Jackin' . Great EP all round.

Rodion - J Bunker
- Gomma Records is quickly taking over from Kitsune as European electronic label of choice. Great Italo disco vibes on this one.

Eyerer & Chopstick - Haunting (Christopher Just Remix / Kompowski's Klaxons Re-Edit)
- From January's mix, really simple re-edit but it works a treat. Send me an email if you want a copy.

CSS - Let's Make Love (Streetlife DJs Remix)
- CSS over Rappinghood's 'Words'. Pure cheese but I love it.

Hot Chip - My Piano
- Been around a few months now, but stills rocks the end of any set. Can't wait for the album (whenever that may be)



Finally thanks to anyone who's come to see me or let me play over the past months. Thought the transition from vinyl to CDJ was going to be tricky, but I think I've got it sussed. Keep them peeled for more dates as I have them.
