Mixtape March 2019

Another batch of  music carefully stockpiled and placed in your bunker to get you through the month of March.  



1) Danger - Always Looking for Stranger by Gregg Diamond
A new disco classic with a retro funky 70's vibe.

2) Tough Enough by Ex Hex
Taken from the forthcoming second album - their first release in five years.

3) Ruiner by Methyl Ethel 
Opening track from the Perth band's third album Triage which is heavily influenced by the new wave sounds of the early 80s.

4) Times Won't Change Me by Circa Waves
Liverpool band about to release their third album.


 5) Chaos From The Top Down by Stereophonics 
Obviously inspired by the mess of the British Government.

6) Fast Times by Albert Hammond Jr 
Where are The Strokes?  Come-on guys - reform.  This is alright but it just hints at what we are missing.

7) Enough To Believe (Jamie Jones Remix) by Bob Moses
Excellent catchy modern dance track with some great production and dare I say "sick" beats. 

8) Gangster Trippin (Dan Aux Remix) by Fatboy Slim
The original was a hit twenty years ago and this cut up remix comes via New Zealand DJ Dan Aux.

9) Super Cool by Beck featuring Robyn & The Lonely Island 
Taken from the new Lego Movie - has Beck in funky pop mood - a companion piece to Everything Is Awesome from the first film.  Lyrically it is about staying in the movie to read the credits.  Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.  Yes I would sell out (make me an offer).



10) Be Yourself by Hilltop Hoods ft Ecca Vandal & Nyassa 
Hilltop Hoods have just realised their first album in five years.  This track seems to be built upon a loop of the intro to Harlem Shuffle.

11) In The Capital by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever 
New music from RBCF - then again its all new music - that's the point.

12) What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out? by Gang of Youths
 Still milking tracks from their 2017 album - but when it's this good I'll let it pass.

13) Staring At The Sun by Wooden Shijips 
Blissed out hippy shit akin to the Velvet Underground crossed with Spiritualized.

14) Something Tells Me by Meg Mac
Aussie singer with a new song that is destined to be huge.

15) Little Smart Houses by Sundara Karma
Taken from the second album by Reading's Sundara Karma.  Catchy indie pop.

16) Here by Sloan Peterson 
Another great release from Sydney's Sloan Peterson.

17) Heavy For You by The Heavy
Is it too heavy for you?  Actually it's not. In fact it could be much heavier.



18) Spooky Dub by The Nextmen Vs Gentleman's Dub Club featuring Hollie Cook
One of my favourite albums of 2018 gets the full dub version treatment. Tasty!

19) Right For Me by The Teskey Brothers 
Australian band from the Yarra Valley with their take on the Motown sound.

20) Ill Wind by Radiohead
This was released in January with no fanfare - I almost missed it.  Situation remedied.
