Vacationland mix #21: Fitness!



Another sweet Vacationland mix, this one is hella dreamy. I've just listened to it twice in a row and have decided it's definitely my favourite of the series so far. And not just because I can hear Keanu AND Michael J. Fox AND some True Detective in there. It includes 'Selfish' by Tensnake, what a tune, and one of my favourite songs in the whole world, 'Train In Vain' by The Clash. Amazing. Keeping up the excellent work, kudos Vacationland!

Moshigogo's April 2014 mix


This latest Moshigogo mix is noticeably more banging than his usual ones, have to say I'm loving it -possibly as I just came back from Airbound and am having bangin' tune withdrawal symptoms!  I guess sometimes everyone wants to lash out the whopper beats! It's the circle of life. Get involved!

Bonobo's Essential Mix (April 2014)


Was very worried for some reason that Bonobo's Essential Mix wouldn't be great. I don't know why I thought this. I think I have deep-seated trust issues, stemming from that time I went to France to see Four Tet live and he played a bunch of jazz. Rest assured this set will not break your heart in such a manner. Quality tracks throughout, pretty chilled in the first half with gorgeous vibes all the way, particularly the last 30 mins. 3 days left to listen below and check out the extensive tracklist that I am far too lazy to copy over.

Go to: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03znl9n

I just posted a Red Bull show that Bonobo did, check it here to hear him play his own stuff and talk about his career and influences. And check out one of his amazing live performances here.

Gay Traitor: Traitorous Disco Volume 3


Volume 3! Yes. This one starts off discoey (it's a word) but gets a little more housey with some savage tracks in the last third. Track at 47 mins is so slick, then it's right back into the disco vibes til the end. Quality!

Compuphonic Tales #3


My friend Elaine sent me the first track 'No Romance' on this mix a couple of days ago asking if it would be my vibe, because it was her vibe for sure. I had to agree, it was also my vibe, as is the rest of this Compuphonic Tale. Is this your vibe Elaine? I think it might be. Check out more about that first track on the Greco-Roman label here and check out the mix below. Beautiful tracks, what a gorgeous finish too. Dare I say this is one of my favourite Compuphonic mixes so far?

Airbound Easter Weekender 2014


There is a big 3 day party this Easter in London. Come to it! A weekend of savage music and mayhem including a boat party on the Thames on Good Friday and a load of sweet acts including consummate Swooner favourites Lasertom, Rubio, Get Down Edits, Lil Dave, Shocko, and a whole lot more over the 3 days. I think Chewy is even going to throw down a sweet pipe layin' RnB jam session on the boat. That alone is worth the trip. Links to some mixes and things by various artists below to get you in the mood!

Rubio's Tough Love Mix
Lil' Dave on Radiomade
Lasertom's album Drift
Get Down Edits for Hidden Agenda
Shocko live at Corsica
and of course Chewy's Pipe Dreamz Vol 1

"Kicking off festivities will be a four hour boat cruise aboard the Dutch Master on the Friday evening from 7pm. From there the weekend continues in one of London's most respected venues: Autumn Studios (Of BLOC fame). There is also a very special secret location "after hours" planned for those who don't want to go home just yet... Sunday the party kicks off once again with a gourmet Brunch from The Hackney Dinner Society at The Horse & Groom Shoreditch at 2pm. A full programme of DJs and a packed menu of great food will keep you dancing well into the night." - Get involved!
