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:
