In The Mix(tape) – Baltic Bastian
The producer of Holland’s The Sense of Dance radio show on BNN is a big fan of Mahogany and he’s sent us his latest mix.
Just looking at the tracklisting tells us that it’s going to be a treat and I’ve been waiting ages for a new mix that I really adore. What I like most is the range of different music presented here – it’s not a tour de force of brutal tracks because we’ve got The Whitest Boy Alive, Two Door Cinema Club and Animal Collective in there. It’s nice to see a non-restrictive list that chimes so many of my bells.
As for the radio show, Baltic Bastian produces a steller show every saturday night at 3am alongside host Ajouad El Miloudi.
This might take a bit of time to buffer due to the size but if you can’t download it, wait a few minutes and it will stream.

In The Mix(tape) Vol. 4

It’s been absolutely ages since the last In The Mix(tape) post so let’s kick it back into gear with two top notch ‘mixtapes’.
First up is from Australian boys Three Fingers. They’ve crammed some modern gems as well delicious remixes into just 10 minutes. But they’re golden minutes so savour every second. I’m hungry for more.

In The Mix(tape) Vol. 3 – Pretty Girls & Lasers #2

I’ve only been to New York once and I have every intention of returning in the very near future.
I got a taste of the night-life thanks to a good friend (Cara!) but left hungry for more nights on the piss.
One night in particular is the Primary Colors club night by (Pretty) Girls & Lasers at Arlo & Esme. Why do I want to go to this night in NY? Because in the past couple of months they’ve sent me some superb mixes that I’ve used repeatedly at work or in the gym. It’s all the songs you want to hear beautifully meshed together. Pure electro-remix party stuff.
The flyer above is for their party last night and I like it because it’s got a Mahogany feel to it!
I haven’t attached a tracklisting – you’re going to have to trust me.

In The Mix(tape) Vol. 2 – (Pretty) Girls & Lasers

The second installment of the recently introduced Mahogany series called In The Mix(tape) is here and raising the bar even higher is New York based duo (Pretty) Girls & Lasers.
Recorded from parties in NY over the summer these guys have amassed some really special sounds and it only makes me sad that I wasn’t actually there to hear it direct!
As well as this truly great mix – we’re also celebrating the launch of their new monthly night kicking off on the 7th October at Arlo & Esme in NYC so after you listen and download this mix, and if you’re in or around New York, make sure you get down there or plan your trip for next month. For further details head over to their website.
Remixes of Yuksek, Miike Snow, Presets and James Brown all feature on this great summer styled mixtape so enjoy! We’re not going to feature the full tracklisting because it takes up too much space – you’ll just have to trust us!

Alan: This meld of light-hearted synth riffs, simple guitar and bass work, and the dissonant vocals of David Byrne make this distinctive new wave gem special. Here’s a cover I did with my friend, Anthony Field, when I was first getting into production…”

The Clash -- Train in Vain - Buy from iTunes (UK) (US)
Justin: It’s defiantly a grower and it’s more or less a perfect pop song – by The Clash no less. While we produce electro music we try and maintain a pop sensibility tracks. We drop the Discotech remix (which is a club version that leaves the track pretty much intact) all the time!

Jack Beats -- Get Down - Buy from iTunes (UK) (US)

Alan: I’d be lying if I said Jack Beats’ new twist on dance music hasn’t inspired me. There’s something about those screeching synth’s and wobbly basses that makes people lose their minds… including my own.

Alan: Otto’s Journey was one of the songs that got me hooked on electronic music. For enhanced listening experience, play this ambient techno masterpiece while driving… really fast.

Justin: “This track is sick. The first time I heard it on Diplo’s Top Ranking it really threw me for a loop. On that mixtape it really comes out of nowhere and kicks your ass. When we sit down to make a track we always ask ourselves how we can make it sound really different from what’s out there”

In The Spotlight is really starting to take off. It’s so nice to hear what they guys listen to as well as their own material!
Stay tuned for the next one!
In The Mix(tape) Vol. 1 – Little Boots

It’s come to my attention that mixes and mixtapes are rarely on TMB and that’s all going to change considering how any great ones I’ve got on my laptop.
In The Mix(tape) is a new category you’ll now see in the sidebar and it’s going to feature all the mixes I’ve got lying about from huge stars to underground gems.
First up is an August mixtape from Little Boots – not just a pretty face it seems. There’s clearly a few audio programs on her computer and between gigs she puts together some tasty electro tracks and the result is not bad at all!
Of all the ‘celebrity DJ’ sets you see at bars and clubs – Little Boots is about the only one I wouldn’t mind hearing.
