favourite mixes of 2022

because this mix from babyschön is doing it for me today - post-punk and ambient pop, very still and serene

Bradley Zero live in Melbourne

Etch has challenged listeners to ID the tracks in this mix of his influences. I think I have some imaginary internet points around here somewhere that I can give to anyone who can help to identify.

(house, bass music, etc)

Into this Metrist mix, covers a lot of ground:

Sofia Kourtesis Essential Mix, h/t Tracer Hand - this is really good, reminds me a lot of Pampa Records at their peak

also this is RA's Mix Of The Day today - Raphael Top-Secret warming up for Moodymann, 90s Jersey house rubbing up against West End and Prelude disco, dreamy and elegant

Love this club/ballroom/house mix from C Powers, lots of interstitials and humor and energy

how long since RA killed the mp3 d/l thing ?
only realised a couple of weeks ago when i saw the listing for one that sounded interesting.

Huh, not sure, but you can find bootleg RA podcast feeds that let you download the file.

i am sure, but, i kind of loved the fact that you could grab an official 320 as and when you felt the urge.

Yeah, pretty lame that they removed that

that C Powers mix is unreal - some of my favourite music of the past few years in that, and I have never stopped laughing at the "Plastic Bag" version

Who’s up for some WHALE SONGS?

nothing clever or sophisticated here but three hours of house and garage, yes please

https://soundcloud.com/thepartybyostbahnhof/ostbahnhof005

from 2019 but only shared in Feb - Heidi Lawden and Lovefingers live, no real concept but just lots of really good, disparate tracks coming together, and I'm always happy to hear "Paris Hilton"

https://soundcloud.com/djmag/fresh-kicks-177-leisureware

two hours of trippy dubbed-out sounds, from street-soul and reggae to deep house and jungle. It unfortunately ends with an novelty cover but everything up to it is really enjoyable.

I looked to see what the novelty cover was and you're right, lol. I can't stand that band & their covers.

really frustrating, it feels like a move to make it a memorable mix but it stands on its own merits perfectly fine without it

https://soundcloud.com/dkmntl/young-marco-orpheu-the-wizard-at-lente-kabinet-festival-2022

Young Marco and Orpheu The Wizard - very energetic with lots of euphoric prog/trance including a gargantuan take on "Chime"

Does anyone have any good recommendations for more home listening type mixes and/or DJs?

I'm talking about stuff like the mix that Boards of Canada did for Warp a few years ago, Time Is Away, Optimo's cassette series from last year and their more restrained mixes. Sold did an ambient RA mix that I really liked too

Kim Ann Foxman in a lively mood

julian jumpin perez with the mountain dew hot mix on u dance with b96

aboout thirty years later than the rest of the internet but finally getting round to playing this and wow no wonder everyone is saying how great it is

ah nice. i really liked "shared meanings", the fabriclive CD, and especially "different circles" (which was done in collaboration with logos)

hadn't heard about it, but i'll be sure to check it out

fun/sleazy international disco mix from monodominical

Thanks for the heads up on the mumdance!

The Mumdance mix is ridiculously good, and auto-play served up this fantastic mix next:

Finn and DJ Q, paging r/t/c for this one

yeah the object/call super b2b is great. the lena wilikens dekmantel one on the boiler room youtube is also good, and the eros drew set… i’m currently watching the marcel dettmann one too

i’ll definitely give the dj q a listen, quite a while since i’ve heard a set by him

the object/call super b2b is great

such a pleasure to see the floor go nuts for Transition
