Oi, sweet as kids! Time's almost up for another year at the Animal Showgrounds! Weather forecasts look decent, my bag-packing is in progress, and my pizza snails will see daylight tomorrow! I've spent the past week laboring on some mixtapes for the four days of music proper, and here's the fruit of it!
There's clearly an upward progression in the quality, as I'm still only a rookie doing mixtapes, meaning each one gives valuable experience. I think I'm most satisfied with the one for Friday though, which tramps through quite a lot of genres, ending up with, sorry to put it upon a pedestal, quite massive fuse of Nicolas Jaar, Portishead and M.I.A. I tried to expand my genre horizons, and I've included quite a number of artists that I don't expect to see myself, in order to broaden the palette somewhat.
Please do go check them out, the tracklists are right here below, and if you click on the Soundcloud-links, they're there too.
NOTE: I realized the timing is wrong for Saturday's mixtape, as I had to remove The Tallest Man On Earth from it, due to copyright issues. Hope you'll survive that...
