Birthday mix for Hannah
I did a birthday mix for Hannah on Saturday at her request. It’s theoretically a bunch of her favourite tunes, although I’m not sure how close I hit that mark since I tried not to duplicate stuff she already has. She seems to like it at any rate, and I reckon it’s a contender for best recorded mix I’ve done (despite a couple of blemishes that I’m excusing via its purpose-driven track list and one-offness). However, until (if) she gives a go-ahead for public distribution, this mix shant be broadcasting on any speakers outside of Streatham. But because I’m a dick, and I like to taunt, here’s the track list:

543 Mix
Since it was a beautiful day in London yesterday, I stayed inside and mixed for three hours – because I’m stupid like that. I remembered to press record for about the last two hours of it, so you’ll be joining a mix in progress should you choose to accept this mission. As you can see from the brevity of the tracklist I let this stuff play out for the most part. Lots of house, some more house, and a few odd bits of other stuff to boot. Mostly newer stuff too. Not my best mixing ever, but nothing too horrendous (I hope you’ll agree) except when the breeze in my flat knocked the needle mid-mix in a place or two. :/ Prepare your hi-speed connection and delete some pr0n from your hard drive, as this is just over 100MB. Still not that perfect mix, but whatevah…
2020 note: all mixes taken down for now to re-post at higher bitrate on Mixcloud in due course. If you’re at all keen for me to do this, please let me know and I will try and get anything specific you want to hear moved over ASAP.

Sloppy Ass Broken Beat Mix
I did this mix to give an audio accompaniment to a broken beat thread on [313] lately. Have a gander if so inclined. Here’s the disclaimer:
Unfortunately, this mix didn’t turn out like I’d hoped. It’s kinda sloppy in a couple of parts. Hopefully you don’t think any of my mess is too disastrous. I’ve never actually tried to mix an entire set of broken beat stuff before. While I’m usually telling people it’s not *that* hard to mix, I was making that assessment based on including a few songs in a varied mix, but to put together a whole set is an entirely different matter. It’s really difficult. I tried to work it out almost every night this week, but after tonight’s go, I decided I’d accomplished the introductory mission and I didn’t have the energy to try and perfect such a difficult mix (I almost always abandon preconceived mixes). So I figured better to produce something rough than nothing at all…
I’m not totally happy with the breadth of what I covered either, but I really do love all the songs, so hopefully it will be enjoyable on that merit if flawed in other respects. 14 tracks clocking in at 51 minutes (the last track has mysteriously disappeared – think I ran out of disk space while adding maximization). Arghhh… Sorry for the abrupt ending. Doh! Anyway, here it is:
