Ghost Story Mixed By The Revenge


Swooner pals may recall that The Revenge and Roar Groove have a series where they make a real life mix-tape and give it away. (My Tiny Choons co-hort and co-host Zonja won the first edition - the Valentine's love tape!) Well here is the Hallowe'en volume! You need to enter your email to DL and you are put in the draw to win the tape. Or you can just stream the mix on the page. This vibe is pretty deep. Happy Hallowe'en!

Faithful Players' Dead Famous Hallowe'en Disco Ball


Swooner pals Faithful Players are putting on their annual Hallowe'en Disco Ball next week (Saturday November 1st, Sycamore Club) - I was delighted to be asked to do some artwork for them! I went to their disco ball last year and it was excellent - although I was quite intimidated by the level of effort people put into their costumes! Here is a mix Eoghan M did as a little warm up - check it out, lots of party vibes and edits:



ALSO! Check out the exclusive Swooner mix Faithful players did here and also check out the super sweet Chromeo / Haim mashup I asked them to do, it's amazing, and there's a free DL too:

Underworld's Fireside Chat


"We thought, wouldn't it be great to be a band that doesn't destroy the vibe?"

NICE! Underworld did a Fireside Chat for RBMA Radio. Karl Hyde talks about their early career, mistakes they made and how they became the band we know today.  Really interesting to hear about early rave culture, the influence of travel and New York on their music, the progression of their career, all with a load of their tunes thrown in!

As Fresh As It Gets: Robots With Rayguns


Imagine my delight today when a new Swooner follower on Twitter not only had the name 'Robots With Rayguns' but then turned out to be a quality synth pop robot with a dreamy electro ray gun - also called Lucas Smith from Phoenix, Arizona. I fucking love the internet! His album is streaming on Spotify below or you can listen and buy it on bandcamp here.  Was loving it today as it poured rain outside - it's summery, with hints of Architecture In Helsinki, Neon Neon and generally just serious electro vibes. And by serious I mean fun. If you liked that Starcadian stuff I posted about before, you might dig this. And if you didn't dig that Starcadian stuff I posted before, you are in the wrong part of the internet, my friend!

Moshigogo September 2014 mix

Ah, weekends. 

Monday morning never seemed so dreamy. Late to this party it being mid October already, but the latest Moshigogo mix is the usual blend of vibes, it may as well still be summer!



Spoiler alert: the last tune is some kind of version of Dario G's Sunchyme - the original of which we played as the last track on our Tropical Tiny Choons show before which makes me mighty pleased we're not the only ones who recognise the awesomeness of that ridiculous track!

Lots more Moshigogo here and go follow soundcloud.com/moshigogo for even more.
