3 months ago I was getting ready to live London after nearly ten years… and in ten years you got nuff time to accumulate a ridiculous amount of things. Including records in my case – I couldn’t just pack them all up and not put them to use so I decided to put together a mix using a lot of the tracks I would miss most (and I only got through a tiny portion of those in the end).
I’m a bit hit and miss when it comes to mixes – having rarely got the patience to see them through to a standard I’m happy with for everyone to listen to. But in this case I was motivated and had time against me.
The result is Packing Shit Up, over 2 hours of everything that’s been ticking my boxes in the last few years. The mix was done mainly on turntables and then arranged, finalised and tweaked in Ableton Live. I also used some tracks I only have on digital format cos they were too damn good to leave out.
The mix’s been online for a few months now and while I’m not one to boast the feedback from a lot of people has been really good, so I’m happy to leave it online and keep pushing it into more ears – hopefully you’ll like what you hear. If all goes well I’ll be doing a follow up one in the near future. That is as soon as I’ve found someone near me who’s got decks they don’t mind me using, he he.
The full tracklisting is below, and you can download the mix in two formats both of which are hi res 254kbps mp3 files (right click and save file as):
