Freaky Dancing - Part 2
A fairly intense mix of bizarre and eclectic tunes designed to make you dance in a frantic, jerking, tribal, and ultimately embarrassing fashion. The idea was to upset the usual flow of a mix and make it rhythmically disjointed but still somehow flow into a cohesive whole.
This mix is for AWOLGina, with thanks for all her support, inspiration and encouragement. Hope you enjoy it, Gina!
50 tracks spread over 3 hours and 20 minutes. This is the second half of the mix.
Part 1 of the mix is here.

Dark Christmas - Part 2
A dark/gothic Christmas mix for people who like dark folk, drone, gothic atmospheres and a touch of avant-garde. Liking Christmas is entirely optional. If you feel that Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' is where it's at for Christmas music, then you're probably not going to like this very much.
The picture *IS* Christmas-y; it is adapted from Wikipedia, and is of Krampus. See here:

Part 1 is louder and more 'rock'. The two parts were made as one mix, but split up for people who might prefer one half to the other.
Belladrum Space Mix 02 - Pop/Indie/Alternative
Circular mix made for the 'Space' theme for Belladrum festival 2011. This mix was made to be played on repeat on a CD, rather than just from beginning to end.
It was used in the Around group's stall to provide both atmosphere and entertainment. (The Around group are an eclectic fusion of artists, of which I am a part. There are around 20 or so people in the group, ranging from painters and sculptors to wood carvers and musicians. See http://www.around.org.uk/ for more information.)
Drunk on Music
Another drinking compilation!
This one takes the form of the journey of a night of drinking: from initial high expectations through self doubt, over-confidence, and ultimately becoming incomprehensible... but still having a good time.
It is an EU regulation that one out of every three drinking-themed mixes or compilations must include either The Pogues or Shane MacGowan.
(NB: Troll Bends Fir (Troll Gnet El) are generally categorised as 'Russian Beer Folk' - a genre I hope to investigate more one day).
Daddy Go Down to the Ghetto and Spread Your Love
Random, on-the-spot mix for a kind of groovy, funky, fun night. A couple of bits of swearing, so not safe for work or children (unless you skip Black Grape and Ghostface Killah).
I would like to think that this is the first time that Kenny Rogers, Ghostface Killah and Ghetto Plotz have all been featured together in a mix, but maybe someone can prove me wrong...
