It’s been over a year since I last sat down and put a mix together. Sorry it’s taken so long. I guess that’s what babies and moving 1/2 way round the world do for you.

Made on the Train - Feb2010  by  iainmixedit

This is not a mix featuring Christmassy tracks. It just so happens that I’ve got round to finishing it a week before Christmas. Also, they say that Christmas is a time for miracles, and the fact I’ve finished this at all is a miracle. Our two bundles of joy aren’t exactly mix-friendly, yet.

Have a great Christmas and New Year! xxx

Cranked Out For Christmas by  iainmixedit

•  18 December 2009  •  1 note

I started this mix as a father of none. I wasn’t intending to dedicate it to my new daughters. They weren’t supposed to be here until the end of October. But it now feels like I should. Especially as it was put together as Sophie, unbeknown to either of us, went into the early stages of labour.

Eleanor and Josie were born 12 weeks premature and are naturally very tiny. They’re still in hospital as I write this but they’re getting stronger every day. The mix was finished off two weeks later. And I am now the father of two amazing little girls.

Girls, this is for you x

Note: It’s a bit less 4/4 than normal…

Tracklist:

1. Maybes - Mount Kimble
2. Moth - Burial and Four Tet
3. Klinik - Scuba
4. Isolate - Phaeleh
5. Acid Bells (Martyn’s Bittersweet Mix) - Efdemin
6. Diamond in the Dark - Damian Lazarus

As always, I’m sorry it’s been ages.

Anyway I went up to the loft, opened the skylights, and this popped out. It’s perhaps got a bit more of a old fashioned house feeling in places than normal. But I think in general the sound works OK. And the Apparat remix at the end is stunning (as usual).

Buy tracks from Beatport.com - I do.

Tracklist:

1. Listen To The Drums (Jazzanova / Dixon Remix) - Outlines
2. The Soul Part II - The Revenge
3. Start Something (40 Thieves Remix) - Morten Sorensen
4. Blade Dancer (Dixon Edit) - Tokyo Black Star
5. Kobra Dance (Joris Voorn Interpretation) - Wigald Boning
6. Jump for Joy - Shumi
7. Still Music - Steve Bug / Donnacha Costello
8. Add This Song (Gluteus Maximus Remix) - Gus Gus
9. Solee - Marco Dassi
10. Inferno Jack - Butane
11. Underneath the Wind Machine - Gavin Herlihy
12. Pray (Mike Dunn’s Blackbal Instrumental Mix) - Mina Jackson
13. Modernism Begins at Home - Burger Voigt
14. Pale Horses (Apperat Remix) - Moby
15. Pulsewidth - Aphex Twin

Sorry it’s been a while.

This was done at the weekend when it was nice and sunny outside. I popped open the skylights and the first fresh air of the year entered the loft…

I’m not sure exactly where this mix fits in the world. I’d like to think I could pull off a morning slot on a sunny terrace somewhere, but I think they’re becoming increasingly the kind of mixes that only elderly folk will like ;-)

Tracklist:

1. Midtown 120 Intro - DJ Sprinkes
2. Mystery of Nazereth - Marco Bernardi
3. Twighlight (Layo and Bushwacka mix) - Unkle
4. Light Through The Veins (Ewan Pearsons Downtown Lights Mix) - Jon Hopkins

7. Lovelee Dae (Tanner Ross & KiloWatts Remix) - Blaze
8. Inner 8 (Dexters DXR Mix) - Alton Miller
9. Roman - Trickski
10. Ellelli (Kalabrese Remix) - Madioko N Rafika
11. Guinea Pig (DJ Kozes Vocal Variation Remix) - Ben Watt
12. Song for Marie and Elise (Aeroplane Remix) - Lullabies in the Dark
13. Who Are You? (Ft Heidi Happy) - Zwicker
14. Interlude in the Bed - Rone

Well this mix was recorded when it was so cold in the loft that my fingers were numb. Hopefully it hasn’t led to it being a crock of crap.

Actually I think I’m pretty chuffed with how it turned out. It’s quite chugging and if I had to pick another word, perhaps brooding. Deep and dark brain music…

Tracklist:

1. You Don’t Answer (When I Call) - Mr. White
2. Bergwein - Efdemin
3. Five Boroughs - Stefan Goldmann
4. Moment - Damian Lazarus
5. Appently So - Audiofly X
6. Early Morning - Skatebard
7. Aranda (Lawrence Mix) - Egoexpress
8. Pink Flamingos - My My
9. Colors - Gui Boratto
10. Hold On - Holy Ghost!
11. Sunrise - Yeasayer
12. Sapphire - Zombi

I’ve never been one for giving pretentious names to mixes. Until now.

Apricity is such a great word, it means: the warmth of the sun in winter. And that’s the sound I was trying to create in this mix. Something that’ll make a chilly walk to work just a little bit warmer.

Tracklist:

1. The Model - Overproof Sound System
2. Flashback (Jazzanova’s Breathe Easy Mix) - Fat Freddy’s Drop
3. Absynth (Marcus Worgull Remix) - Projections vs Woolfy
4. Keep Believin’ - Tensnake
5. White Diamond - Hatchback
6. Zillion Lights - Raz Ohara And Djuma Soundsystem
7. Paris (Aeroplane Mix) - Friendly Fires
8. Little Bit (Loving Hand Mix) - Lykke Li
9. Donut - M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade
10. Guinea Pig (Vocal Variation Mix feat Julia Biel) - Ben Watt
11. Winter - Aril Brikha
12. I’m In Love With A German Film Star (Gui Boratto Mix) - Pet Shop Boys and Sam Taylor Wood
13. Iridium (Superpitcher Remix) - Lullabies In The Dark

You can download the mix from here.

And you should be able to play it through iTunes here.

Enjoy, and thanks to Russell for the word.
