Mixtape Feb '16

Alright Music Lovers!

Hardest of all months to spell - Welcome to Febuary!



This is a new mix of indie shmindee dance and rock n roll.
Some great new tracks from the end of last year and the beginning of this one.
It is also a leap year so you can enjoy it for an extra day.


1) Too Soon by DMA's.  Hopeful of a debut album this year from these Sydney Rockers.

2) You Ruined My Chippy Thursday (Should Have Gone to Codrophenia) by The Eccentrontic Research Council.  Weirdest thing from Yorkshire since Pulp.

3) Hold It by The Allergies.  I know very little about this group apart from their funkiness.

4) Greasy Mind by Slug.  Slug evolved from Sunderland's Field Music to make this seedy funk.

5) Float On by Ben Lee.  Cover of the classic 2004 indie hit by Modest Mouse.

6) Makin' Babies by Reverend and the Maker.  Taken from the album Mirrors - a collection of great and very short songs.

7) Fast and Slow by Sons of the East.  The Aussie Mumford and Sons.  Better than it sounds!

8) The Man Who Sold The World live version by David Bowie R.I.P.

9) Out of my Mind by The Arcs.  The talented Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys knocked out this side project in his spare time last year.

10) Wide Open (Kolsch Remix) by The Chemical Brothers featuring Beck.  A widescreen remix.

11) Virtue by Bloc Party.  Taken from their 5th album Hymns released in January 2016.

12) Bad Habits by The Last Shadow Puppets.  2nd Album coming 8 years after their debut.

13) Silver Bullets by The Chills.  These guys are not Big In Japan they are Small in New Zealand.

14) Three Packs A Day by Courtney Barnett.  New tune from Australia's finest whinger.

15) Feel Free (Pianna Version) by Groove Armada.  House music with pianos - lush!

16) Tomorrow by The Skints.  Final track from the excellent album FM from these London reggae allstars.

17) Take It There by Massive Attack,Tricky & 3D.   More reasons to be cheerful in 2016

18) Cool Out by Matthew E. White & Natalie Prass.  Laid back duet.

19) T Shirt Weather by Circa Waves.  The sound of Summer.

20) Blaze Up The Fire by Major Lazer featuring Chronixx.  Lets go out with a banger!
