Let’s start this week with a new Five Tracks mix, shall we? This one has six songs because, quite honestly, we were kind of into the groove that was going on and wanted to let it last a bit longer. It starts off big and cheery with bombastic synths before getting Madonna-y and darker for a while before going back to those big chords. It’s a dancefloor journey in thirty-odd minutes. Or something. Anyway, here’s a cover image and track listing:

  1. Hold Me Close - NSFW
  2. Santana House - Sushi Art
  3. Attitude - Groove Motion
  4. I Love U More - Mr Jools
  5. Lo to Hi - Eats Everything
  6. 2 Know U - Doctor Dru
You can listen here, of course, but it’s probably best to right click here and download.

As always, if you enjoy, please reblog or share on your preferred social media platform. Thank you!

Yes, we know we just did one of these things but Kevin was practicing for this Friday’s River Gods gig and he liked how these records fit together as a compact little bundle and here we go. As always, you can right click to download so you can stick this on your phone or iPod or whatever it is you use when you’re not online.

  1. U So Fine - Betoko
  2. Stella’s Way - Maxxi Soundsystem
  3. Lies - Sharam Jey & Night Talk
  4. Shake Your Body (Joey Negro Extended Disco Mix) - Lady Aya
  5. Bonafied Loving (RAC Mix) - Chromeo
Yes, there’s another Sharam Jey production on here — it’s almost like he’s cranking out consistently good records lately or something — and the A-side of that Betoko track features last go-round shows up but we think there’s a distinctly different sound this time: darker at first and the peaking with the Michael Jackson-snatching of Lady Ava before getting a bit funky with RAC remixing Chromeo. That last one, by the way, is from the rather excellent Chapter One collection of their remixes.

Here’s a reminder about Friday:

If you’re local and you came out, we’d really appreciate it. It’s a fun night.

Five tracks, mixed while Kevin enjoyed his morning coffee. It starts off cool and mournful before going spacy, ecstatic and disco. It’s not perfect, but we’re fond of it. As always, right-click to download for the best sound quality.

  1. Alive And Kicking (Zimmer Remix) — Jean Winner
  2. Baby Baby — Pete Oak
  3. Space Invader (Nhan Solo Brings You To Alderaan Remix) - Betoko
  4. Like Nobody Does - Sharam Jey
  5. Like A Virgin (Mighty Mouse Rework) - Madonna
If you enjoy this mix, be sure to tell your friends; we always need more readers/listeners! Also, Kevin will be playing these sorts of records (and more!) live at River Gods in Cambridge, MA next Friday, November 16th. Great bar, great crowd, etc! Here’s a flyer thing he made for it:

We finally had a chance to go and make a new one of these for you guys! What’s in this one? Well, first of all, eight tracks. Not five. We know. This gets a bit dark and moody in the middle section, but stick with it. We promise it’s rewarding.

  1. First Standard - Fishing Vest
  2. Power (Zimmer Remix) - Pompeya
  3. The Droid Saved My Life - Re Dupre
  4. Jakla - Affkt
  5. Flash Of Light (featuring Roisin Murphy) - Luca C & Brigante
  6. (I Hate The Sound Of) Guitars - Xinobi
  7. U Gave Me Love - Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver
  8. Damn Girl (Walker & Roye Remix) - Mario Basanov
As always, you can listen through the Tumblr dashboard or on this page, but you will probably get the best experience right-clicking and downloading for your MP3 device.
If you enjoy this, please tell your friends. We like it when more people listen to these things. They make us feel like you like us, that you really, really like us.

This started out as a usual Five Tracks mix but grew out of our control, like some sort of disco monster. So, here, nine tracks that are all very recent and pretty, pretty good, if we say so ourselves.

image
  1. White Magic (Blue Azure Mix) - Serj V
  2. Glad To Know You - Dimitri From Paris & Los Amigos Invisibles
  3. The Other Side Of The Galaxy (Andromeda Orchestra Remix) - King DJ
  4. I Been Looking (Lee M Kelsall’s 90s Remix) - Flex Cop
  5. A Night In Nassau - Luca Bacchetti
  6. Kaleidoscope (Xinobi Remix) - Mirror People
  7. Friends - Nhan Solo
  8. September (Punks Jump Up Funhouse Mix) - St. Lucia
  9. Smoking Fire - Climbers

As usual, right-click here to download and accept our preemptive apologies for the last blend.

We didn’t really expect to make you a new Five Tracks mix, but we were bored around the house and, well, here it is. It’s got six songs because, as usual, we’re crappy with math (and Kevin wanted to make sure that last song got tacked on there because he really likes that remix). Right click to download for the optimum sonic experience, of course.
