I read this week that the current Fact Mix will be the last. 16 years and 940 mixes. A good innings. But sad news, especially in this week of bad news for music publications, what with the Pitchfork merger.
Still, I gotta say it's been a long time since I went out of my way to listen to a new Fact Mix. But, for a good few years, I hammered them. And many featured in posts on this blog. Here are just a couple:
- Optimo's Fact Mix 214
- Deadboy's FACT Mix 112 [one of my all-time favs]
- Four Tet's Fact Mix (182)
Glad I've still got the odd mp3 of some of these mixes. Even though Fact says they aren't going anywhere from MixCloud and/or SoundCloud, you never know. Just wish I still had some of the old square physical mags.
