Weekend Mixes
July 30
I wanna go back to Lisbon. It's great. Someone there should book me.
Anyway - hup! It's the weekend already. That came around quick. I've been checking a few decent mixes this week, and here's the picks of the bunch:
First up, here's the mighty Altered Natives - the man who supplied Bass Music Mix 14, which got more hype more quickly than pretty much any other mix we've hosted - with his promo mix for the 'Work' night in Bristol. Which, rammed into the tiny sweatbox of Take 5 Cafe on Stokes Croft, is quickly proving to be one of the best nights in the city. It's on tonight, so if you're in the area then get yourself down. But get there early!
Next, I'm gonna big up this Mosca mix from the Fabric blog. I know, I know - Mosca gets bummed on this blog and this is probably not a mix that's going to want for publicity, but whatevs. It's a class mix and one of the best I've heard this week. So, give it a spin. And try not to be too distracted by Rubidan's engagingly crass track 'Pelvic Floor'!
Coming back local again, this mix is from Bristol producer Wascal, who seems to have been involved in a scrap with Mosca as to who could fit the most tunes into their DJ mix. This mix squeezes in some of the deeper crew who I don't hear enough of in mixes - Jus Wan, Furesshu, and Pangaea, for instance, but still bangs it out at points. Wascal has even gone to the effort of trackmarking the mix on Soundcloud, which is massively handy for the trainspotters among us (hello). Wish more people would do this, even tho I can't be arsed myself...
Finalement, here's a mix for the post-party comedown crew. I was listening to this about 3am on Tuesday or Wednesday (they roll into one sometimes) whilst trying to wrestle with some pretty tedious spreadsheet work, and it kept my head together. Maybe it will help yours? Anyway, it's by Lee Hume of the Lost Souls crew, with some seriously leftfield selections - from Four Tet and Can to The Jones Girls and even the bloody Deftones (!) - trust me though, it works.
