Warning: This mix may not be suitable for those who suffer from a lack of diverse musical taste.
So 2010 has rolled around, and between heading home for Xmas/NYE and a spell in China cracking the whip (not literally, I'm all about worker and human rights), suddenly the end of January has too. Spending time in China makes me so out of touch with the rest of the world that I feel like a chunk of my life is missing when I get back - I'm struggling to figure out how February is only a week away.
Meanwhile however, I managed to put together a mix of stuff that I have had kicking around for the past two months (December's mix not bringing much to the table in new music). It's all quality stuff that I am really into, but it's not really a club mix. Well, the first 40 mins or so aren't. By the time Noisia's remix of Hooligans rolls around, there's bangers aplenty and it's all quite overwhelming. In comparison, the first half is all about great vocals and remixing over them - it's not often I sing along to electro, but this is mix brings out my lipsynching on the subway like nothing else.
If anything is to be said about it, the mix isn't tremendously "fresh", as a lot of the tracks have been around for some months. I promise we'll get back to flavours of the month in Feb (and there is quite a few juicy releases planning then, believe me), but for now it's all about savouring some slightly aged quality.
