Sucker For A Chilled Out Space [M006]

This month's mix kicks off with what's being labelled as chillwave (or glo-fi/twee-fi depending on what you read). You'll know Neon Indian from our 'Best Albums of 2009' mix. Another album worth getting is Causers of This by Toro Y Moi which was released this year.



We move into a bit of Scandinavian space disco and some funky disco with a couple of epics from Studio and Lindstrøm. Later on in the mix we feature a song by Trus'me called Sucker For A Pretty Face. This is re-working of West Phillips song, which by sheer coincidence features in this month's guest mix. The Trus'me album In The Red would have made the 'Best Albums of 2009' list but it was released in December and we hadn't got our mitts on it by the time of the mix. It's well worth investing in a copy.



...then the alcohol then started to take hold and we end on a bit of 80's electronic music. We had a good laugh doing this mix and we hope you enjoy it.

The guest mix for this month is from Jammiwam. Those of you who followed us from day one...or were interested enough to scroll through the old mixes...will know he provided us with our first guest mix. The mix is made up of disco edits, deep house and some dubstep. Those of you in Edinburgh will know Jammiwam from the club night Jam The Box at the GRV. Jam The Box have put on some great nights since starting up, playing a healthy mix of techno, disco, house, funk, dubstep and anything else in between. They also have Jam The Box Goes Live where they showcase some of the best local bands. Their next night is on Sat 6th March at the GRV. This will feature Mark Archer (ex Altern8) and the AGT Rave Cru. Get your Vicks and get down!

Blue Potential [MV006]

We have for you a video of Jeff Mills and the Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra. The perforamce is called Blue Potential. It features classic Jeff Mills tracks that have been arranged for an orchestra. The meeting of classical music and techno is not something you hear everyday and it makes for a very interesting listen.
