I have been listening to a good deal of softer, quieter and more laid back electronic tunes over the last few months, which has meant this mixtape slowly building and evolving since last December. So some of these tracks are brand new, whilst others are some of my favourites from the end of 2009 – it has been my most played playlist though so I though it was about time I shared.
The mixtape opens up with Television Keeps Us Apart, who are a Swedish band who just make some of …

Here we go, a mixtape of some of my favourite artists and songs of 2010 so far. Posting has been rather sporadic on here as per usual, but I think we have more than made up for that with this (and the other two that are in the works). We’ve got summery indie pop all the way through to some thundering and swaggering rock and roll – but I can’t try and take all the credit for finding these – at least a couple were spotted by the fine folks …

The days have got longer, and the sun is starting to glisten through the trees making this perfect timing for the latest instalment of Summer days through the folkish haze (previously vols 1 and 2). As with all our mixtapes here on TBW, there are some bands you may know and others you wish you did – and all perfectly accompanied by a jug of Pimms…
Big shout outs to the wonderful folk at Young & Lost, Song, by Toad, and For Folks Sake for pushing a few of …

What is there to say about Communion?

The night has seen the likes of Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, JJ Pistolet and Peggy Sue grace the stage and has become closely associated with the …

It’s been a very long time coming, but definitely worth it with 12 just perfect pieces of electro and house tunes ready to get all of you back on the dance floor now the effects of new year have worn off.
As usual it is a mix of some artists you’ll know (hopefully) and others you might not, but each one of them is all kinds of awesome.  The length of time this has been sitting half done on my laptop has been ridiculous, but then something better came along and …

The shops may think that Christmas starts in mid October, but we all know that in reality you should only start preparing on 1st December with that first choccy in the advent calendar.
So as a way of starting off the musical advent (and I’m in no way religious, but enjoy a reason for a gluttonous festival as much as the next man), we have a little Christmas/winter indie mixtape from the kind folk over at XO Publicity. A little change from the Slade/Wham/East 17 that you”re all hearing elsewhere.
We’ve always …
