Funky Funky Christmas
The artwork was rushed to get this project finished; I wanted to do four separate Christmas mixes before the end of Christmas Eve. I don't personally like Christmas music, and I don't celebrate Christmas, so it was a bit more of a challenge than usual. (I'm not against it, I just don't take part in it). I wanted to see what I could come up with as an alternative to all the usual stuff you hear, without making a load of 'anti-Christmas' mixes, which I figured no-one would want to hear.
This is a circular mix - if you listen to it on a loop, the end should bring you back to the beginning fairly smoothly.
The Run DMC track is in the only 'Christmas' film I enjoy watching - Die Hard.
Belladrum Space Mix 04 – Hippyish/Semi-Random
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.)

Indian Adventures #1
This is a kind of trip to India, but it takes in a bit of Zanzibar, and the artists range from India, UK, Germany and the USA - and possibly elsewhere as well. There's a lot of Asha Bhosle, because she's totally awesome.
The intent was to explore a variety of Indian styles and styles inspired by India, without making things too disjointed. There will be more adventures, taking in Raga Rock, 60s songs with sitars and tablas, and so on.
Groove Is In The Ghetto
This is a remix of Deee-lite's 'Groove Is In The Heart'. I wanted to try something a bit different from the usual dance-based remixes of this awesome pop classic, and give it a very different rhythm.
It is somewhere between a mashup and a remix, featuring 18 different samples, and no other original music (i.e. I didn't add anything of my own, only other people's work). Enjoy!
