 Benjamin Damage &amp; Doc Daneeka | XLR8R
Nice to hear the Midland &amp; Pariah track (fave of the year so far), as featured on the West Norwood Cassette Library mix I&#8217;ve caned heavily on this blog&#8230;.yup, a few months on,  still going through heavy rotation over here. ANNNNNyways:
&#8220;As for the duo&#8217;s mix, it finds Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka skating along the nebulous territory where so-called &#8220;bass music&#8221; intersects with classic techno and house sensibilities. Much like the pair&#8217;s own productions, their selections here are often the sort of tunes that breathe new life, not to mention unique rhythms, into the standard techno template. It&#8217;s a compelling listen, and something that provides an interesting preview of where many bass-music refugees might be heading in the not-so-distant future.&#8221;

"Thee Spring Mixtape || 2012" by SolarFlares.

Thee Spring Mixtape, 2012: Days are getting longer, sleeves are getting shorter,
or: Easy on the Kozmische synth this time. Promise.

Recorded in two sessions because I never have more than 45 minutes to myself these days (domestic and professional life here in my corner of Japan has become rather hectic), but still- there’s time for a Sunday drive to some corner of Nara, and it’s finally warming up. 

Made with going for a prefectural spin in mind, the latest mixtape offers up good ol’ ramshackle garage, Northern Soul, Brazilian fuzz, ColdWave, NoWave, synth punk, postpunk, French psych, Showa-period J-pop, some trusty old Neue Deutsche Welle, plus my old stomping grounds Vancouver gets a shout-out via UJ3RKS and They Shoot Horses Don’t They.

Enjoy, my friends: (((RightClickSaveAs)))

EDIT: Hmm, having some technical difficulties with dropbox. Hang tight.

TRACKLIST:

Sinfonia to Cantata BWV 29—-Wendy Carlos
Monk Time—-The Monks
Monkey Monkey—-Boys Boys
Black Room—-Jun Mayuzumi
Tainted Love—-Gloria Jones
Cinturao De Fogo—-Marisa Rossi
Cataclysme—-Dickens
Freakin Out—-DEATH
Nothing To Hide—-Nervous Gender
すべて売り物—-Aunt Sally
Eisenhower & the Hippies    —-UJ3RK5
Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadt—-Palais Schaumburg    
Cannibals    —-Units
D’Ya Think I’m Sexy?—-Hybrid Kids
Man Hole—-Men’s Recovery Project
B For Boredoms—-Boredoms
Transmitting—-They Shoot Horses Don’t They
Safe As Milk (Take 12)—-Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Soundcloud/zip file of individual tracks is forthcoming. Maybe. Depends on who’s asking.

"The Autumn Mixtape, 2011." by

The Autumn Mixtape, 2011.

A king can of Asahi and a couple of hours to kill in a 4 & 1/2 tatami room. Warts-and-all live mix of what I felt like listening to that day: some library music, minimal synth, Neue Deutsche Welle, Space/Italo disco, new-ageyness, french psych & yeh-yeh…in other words, the usual suspects. I’m consistent that way. The mix, however, could use some tweaks, but—-meh. Enjoy.

Tracklist to follow.

"Summer Mix 2011" by Solarflares.

Thee Summer 2011 Mixtape. Or: Stressed out and busy. Antidote: make a mix. ||| 1hr29min or thereabouts.

Pretty close in content to two mixes on 8Tracks, but with some slight variation. And crossfaded. Oooh ahhh.

Think: pink sky, late afternoon/early evening, bourbon neat, that particular kind of relaxed laziness that comes with the rare occurrence of having three days off in a row.

Mixed in Traktor in one go. No playlist proper, but artists are:

Jade Warrior, Zanov, Mkwaju Ensemble, John Hassell, Inoyama Land, Lullatone, Small Color, Sawako, Kangding Ray, Nik Tyndall, Ashra, Earthstar, Durutti Column, Marisa Anderson, Staple Singers, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, John Fahey, Leo Kottke. 

I could have easily gone on for another hour a la Greg Davis/FlyLo and produced an epic 2.5 hour mix but then the original file would have been huuuuuuge…this one was already 1gb before I compressed it to 128k, but it still sounds alright. 

Anyways: Enjoy. 

Mediafire DL Here.
