MIXTAPE: S.P.F (Super Pacific Frequencies)

S.P.F. is my latest mixtape bringing it back to basics on the disco tip + classic house vibes. It is in part inspired by the persistently awesome weather in California, as well as by everyone's need for a little SPF when summer rolls around. Though in my world, SPF means "Super Pacific Frequencies" :-).

The mix opens with a tropical toe-tapper from Count Jackula (aka Moullinex) and leads into sunblockers like a b-side from Todd Terje's superb It's The Arps EP, a Bottin edit of Lio's "Sage Comme Une Image", a cut from Session Victim's excellent debut full-length The Haunted House Of House, my current Kraak & Smaak song obsession, and Turbotito's fantastic twist on a new Bonde de Role single.

Protect yourself this summer, grab some S.P.F. below!

MIXTAPE: Dilations (Part Two)

Talk about a time dilation since Part One of my Dilations mixtape. I present to you with Part Two. This second half is more homogenous genre-wise (house / electro / techno). Opening (the intro might sound familiar...) and closing things up is Canblaster. I'm a big fan.

Now for the true origin behind the title "Dilations"; I've always been a big sci-fi fan (yes, moment of truth). Lots of times when you have a story (take the original Planet Of The Apes film, for example) about persons traveling through space, there's always the acceleration and time dilation factor of getting from Point A to Point B, since space is super vast and travel takes forever. In a matter of a few Earth years, Charlton Heston's crew travelled 1,000s of years through space since they had the means to move at lightspeed. They barely aged but (spoiler alert) ended up waaaay in the future. You can Google the rest on time dilation; for now check out this Dilations' Point B.

Tracklist:
1. Gesaffelstein - Glass

2. Blawan - Getting Me Down

3. Djedjotronic - The Invisible Landscape

4. Simian Mobile Disco - Aspic
5. Diplo & Douster - ON!
6. Mele - Bombay (French Fries Remix)
7. Carte Blanche - With You feat. Alexis Taylor

8. Boy 8-Bit - Black Satanic Mysticism
9. Brodinski, Djedjotronic, Noob & Harvard Bass - Extreme Compote

10. Cochise - Pray
11. D.I.M. & TAI - Glass
12. Harvard Bass - 81
13. Light Year - Marcellus (Malente Remix)
14. The Snbs - Don't Stop (feat. Hıghbloo)
15. Boys Noize & Housemeister - nBaxx
16. Djedjotronic - Bugle

17. Sinden vs. SBTRKT - Seekwal
18. Myd - Train to Bamako (Canblaster Remix)

MIXTAPE: Moustache

With a pile of tracks sitting around my hard drive and a free night to piece things together on the fly, I finally decided it was time for a heavy 2011 kick-off (after the three months of mixtape silence) with this retro-future blast of indie disco/italo/house.

This mix could fall under the Disco Desire series, but with the indie & house elements I wanted it to stand on its own. By the way, if you haven't heard the A-Trak's Robyn remix, wait 'til your ears get blown away.

Made in the night, Moustache was made for your night. The title of the mixtape memorializes the shaving of my mustache and, additionally, I visualize it as a soundtrack for a mustache'd dude (or chick, I'm not gender-biased), time-traveling between the last three decades to all the hippest, legendary underground clubs. Cheers!

Tracklist
1. Nicolas Jaar - Come N' Get It
2. Linkwood Family - Piece Of Mind
3. Apiento & Co. - She Walks (Pete Herbert Remix)
4. Domeyko/Gonzalez - Eschatol (Rio Lobotomy Remix)
5. Johnwaynes - Get Up (Just John Mix)
6. Aeroplane - Without Lies (Breakbot Remix)
7. Discodeine - Synchronize (Feat. Jarvis Cocker)
8. Tensnake - In The End (I Want To Cry)
9. Cut Copy - Take Me Over (Midnight Magic Remix)
10. The C90s - Shine A Light
11. Bot'Ox - Blue Steel (Still Going Remix)
12. Hercules & Love Affair - My House
13. Azari & III - Into The Night (Prince Language Remix)
14. Scissor Sisters - Invisible Light (Siriusmo Remix)
15. Grum - Through The Night (The Swiss Menergy Remix)
16. Robyn - Indestructible (A-Trak Remix)
17. Poka - Still Don't Wanna

MIXTAPE: Foreign Tongues

I've been itching to showcase some more tropical/afro-house jams, so I present you with Foreign Tongues, a mixtape I put together based on a more stripped-down, rhythmic house sound layered with kuduro, afro-caribbean & breakbeat influences (aside from the disco-flavored opener).

Keep an eye out for those guys and in the meantime, help yourself to the ceremonial sounds of Foreign Tongues.

6. Nifty - Nifty
7. L-Vis 1990 - Zahonda
8. Gucci Vump - Sha Shtil (L-Vis 1990 Remix)
9. Solo - Afreaka
10. Radioclit - Secousse (Round Table Knights Remix)
