Mix Monday #10

Ey up! Morning all... had a pretty cool weekend... two gigs, one being quite a mental house party... Sunday morning though was not pleasant. Yet, the rest of Sunday was spent driving around London, and listening to these very fine mixes that have been on repeat on my iPod a lot in the past week. I'm in quite a spaced out mood while writing this, so I thought I'd take a break from the norm and give you all something meaning to listen to. As always... enjoy! Stay tight for this week... got some exclusive new tunes and the next installment in our mix series, coming thick and fast now!

Just in time to promote their fantastic new Calypso EP on Made To Play, one of my favourite releases of the year so far. You can also grab the mix from the link below... great mix!

Next up is latest addition to possibly one of the best mix series out there at the present time... I've posted quite a few of these in the past, but this is right up there with the very best of them. I'll let DJ Eleven's synopsis of the mix, summarise the philosophy behind this mix.

"When Matty C first told me about the White Light series, he kept coming back to a description of listening to music while driving at night. Since most of us in New York City don't drive, traveling music has to be approached differently. So I set out to make a mix from records I never get a chance to play out that would provide the perfect soundtrack to the walking, turnstile hopping, dude-selling-his-beat-tape-out-front-of-Fat Beats-avoiding, taxi-hailing, dollar-van-riding, slice-grabbing, coffee-on-the-run-drinking, and then walking a little more that is getting around the Rotten Apple."

I'll be heading along to the night to catch D1 on the decks in Room1 as well as Pangaea and Ben UFO, so if you see me in Room3 milling around (I'll be wearing a white Crack House tee)... then come say Hello :).

White Light #19 - Your Boy Brian

Some easy sunday afternoon/evening listening here from the latest installment in the White Light Mix Series. I posted up #18 a couple of weeks ago, also slightly late with this one, but wanted to wait until I had a Sunday to post it for you. Tracklisting as usual, is impeccable, and some great classics in this mix, Pet Shop Boys, respect!

The latest mix has been compiled by Ontario's Your Boy Brian, who is by trade more of a commercial DJ than an underground DJ or Producer. It's interesting for me to see such a diverse taste from someone whos used to playing the likes of Riverside and Show Me Love week in week out. It's definitely a positive thing to see people in the business with an eclectic sound; spurs me on to keep writing about up and coming new music. Also, top DJ name. My dad's name is Brian, just thought I'd throw that out there, randomly, for no apparent reason.

Anyway, before I get all soppy and start to sound like David Cameron at a mother's meeting, let's get down to the mix with a foreword from Brian himself... p.s. I really do hope that's his real name.

White Light. Music. Space. Time. Heaven.

"This mix was a pleasant departure from all the commercial gigs i've been taking on lately. It's sorta paced like a movie / square rpg; little peaks and valleys, a few bittersweet melodies, a cathartic finish and then the credits roll. It's also makes for decent listening while you're doing crossword puzzles."
