With an itch to write a blog, here's my Savlon, a selection of mixes that I've enjoyed over the past couple of weeks. I'm still in Podcast Land however. What's kept me there is the recent switch to Stitcher. The app seems to have the most comprehensive selection of streams available, so I've returned to Harmontown amongst others but the killer new one is Missing Richard Simmons. Loving that and My Dad Wrote A Porno (not on Stitcher, but still very good).
Anyway we're here to talk mixes, so without further ado, we'll start with this.
Bonobo - Mixmag's The Cover Mix
A beautiful hour long mix that that builds, bumps and bubbles along with Bonobo's usual charm. You can find the tracklist over on Mixmag, although whether you can find a CD of it I'm not sure, as I think Mixmag dropped its cover mount CDs a few years back for digital download codes. Still, you can stream it on MixCloud and SoundCloud.
Metronomy - Solid Steel Radio Show 24/2/17
Joe Mount goes into his parents' attic and pulls out a load of records he hasn't heard for a while for an hour of the Ninja Tune affiliated Solid Steel Radio Show. Idiosyncratic, wonky and shonky, like all the best of Metronomy's output, it starts off with Laurie Anderson's O Superman before taking in Stereolab, Tangerine Dream, and Eminem. A funny little hour or so with the ever engaging front man.
Nathan Fake - RA Mix 562
Promoting new album Providence (Ninja Tune), Nathan Fake provides Resident Advisor with an hour of tougher more abrasive sounds than you might readily associate with Fake if you're a fan of his early work. Tracklist is yerr.
