I’ve been behind in listening to new music lately. I thought I’d take the easy way out for my first music list post in a few years.
Poolside mixes
Downside is no tracklist, upsides are dance, dance, dance, and downloadable! One features a great mix of Sade’s "When am I going to make a living" (free download)
Solé Fixtape #15 by French Horn Rebellion
Haven’t listened to anything by French Horn Rebellion since 2009, but this mix (accompanied by a tracklist and downloadable!), is solid throughout. Solé Fixtapes are quite amazing - I definitely have been listening to a few of them on loop, including Yuksek - #17), Breakbot - #19 (which features Look Straight Ahead by the Nick Straker Band), Bixel Boys - #20, and Tropicool - #1. It’s always interesting to see how independent brands build up loyalty and ‘trend’ factor with potential customers. Getting custom mixtapes by popular DJs that are free for download at the cost of a like is definitely a great way. Like their Facebook Page, and all mixes are downloadable.
LeBron - all mixtapes
I just can’t decide which one is best. His dedication mixes to Breakbot are non-stop dancing, but to be frank, I have not been disappointed with any of his mixes. Many of these are downloadable and feature tracklists, so head on over to his soundcloud page.
Flight Facilities Decade Mixes
What a brilliant idea. Flight Facilities starts the decade mixes from 1972. There are four mixes in total. This was part of a residency they took part in for triple J - you can read about the process and development of these mixtapes on their blog. I also love how for the 2002-2012 edition, Flight Facilities did not use any of those annoying pop tracks you hear these days but songs I listened to over and over. All mixes, along with tracklists, are on the soundcloud page.
Despite the fact that I still have over 10 I want to put in this post, that’s already over 15+ hours of mixtapes! Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
