50005

This enigmatic tweet caused a bit of a flutter yesterday.

50005

— Four Tet (@FourTet) January 22, 2013

Last week he tweeted "0181" and the next day a rarities album of the same name appeared. Lightning didn't strike twice and it turned out 50005 referred to this tidy slab of Basic Channel influenced techno from Shed.

GWTF 14: White Noise

Possibly a pre-emptive Go With The Flow but with over 40,000 plays within two hours of being uploaded on Soundcloud, Disclosure's White Noise (featuring the vocals of Aluna Francis from AlunaGeorge) is bound to be everywhere.



It's easy to hear why, this sweet, garage-influenced house tune ticks a lot of boxes under the heading "Sounds Of Now".

DJ Yoda's One World Mix

You don't get this with mp3s.

Plus One Loo and I are moving next month, which means packing, sorting and sifting. All this needs a soundtrack, so after I found my old box of tapes, I bashed a DJ Yoda mix in my Sharp GF-6000. Said equipment duly mangled the show that I recorded off BBC Radio 1's One World strand, presented by Annie Mac right at the start of her career.

After a quick whine on Facebook, my mate Gez pointed out that it's on Mixcloud. Not a total disaster then.

Four Tetuary

Despite the fear of this becoming Ceefax Of Tet, here's a brilliantly bonkers mix for Just Jam from Four Tet.

DJ Zinc's Minimix

My iTunes spaffed up this week when it updated. After uploading an old library, I noticed Annie Mac's Minimix in the list of podcasts to which I no longer subscribe. After sorting it out, I decided to subscribe again and lo and behold the first one to download was Zinc's classic history of D'n'B mix from 2005.

You can try this hotlink for it on iTunes (I think) or right-click below and "Download Document".


Scary tracklist here.

GWTF 13: Four Tet - 0181

Not only is it a snow day today but I finally got around to listening to 0181, a collection of off-cuts and rarities from Four Tet's "folktronica" days of 97-01 (his Imperial Phase?), which appeared as a free download this week.

An essential use of bandwidth.

GWTF12: Four Tet x Grimes

When is a remix not a remix? When Four Tet says so. He dropped this track that uses a loop from Grimes' Skin in the middle of a Rinse.FM mix last week and it's well tidy.

Nigerian Disco Weather

Did you see the sunshine today? Woof, it's been a while.

This bit of Nigerian disco sounded brilliant in it.

GWTF 11: That DJ Shadow Mix

The mix DJ Shadow played at the Miami club, where he got booted off the decks has surfaced and is doing the rounds. It's an interesting listening yet I can understand if the bros thought it was "too future".



Worth a stream just for The Simpsons Theme rejig at 35 minutes in.
