I know it’s been a long time coming, and a lot has gone on in the weeks since I last posted including holidays to Greece, moving servers for this blog, an apparently mind blowing Daft Punk set at the O2 Wireless festival, and now Glasto – that weekend of mud – is also coming to an end. I’m also hosting the mp3s on my server now so there shouldn’t be anymore bandwidth exceeded messages for you all.

As the Snazzy compilations go this one has to be my greatest one …

This mix has been on repeat for a good portion of my post-exam holiday in Spain, and for good reason. Who doesn’t love the Black Ghosts and their numerous remixes? There are certainly a few of us.

This mix shows off their general awesomeness pretty well and is jam packed full of fantastic records. Just take a look at this track listing:
Harco Pront – Night
Emperor Machine – Rimramramrim
Clinic – The Second Line
Soul Savers – Rumble Fish (Simian Mix)
Supercollider – Darn Cold Way Of Loving
Electrelane – The Valleys
The Jonzun Crew – …

Finally finished my exams on the 15th and a 72 hour binge has kept me from posting since then but what a few days it’s been. Having been drinking all day we were off to see my favourite band of the last few months – The Wombats – and they certainly didn’t disappoint. Caught the end of goFaster‘s set, who seemed pretty decent but weren’t as polished or as fucking awesome as the Wombats.

I’ve been distracting myself by maxing my credit card on flights to celebrate the summer.

In that vain, and with the beautiful sunshine coming through my window I thought it was high time I would stick together a summer mix. There will be more over the …

I have included some great remixes of The Rakes (MySpace) in my last two Clap Your Hands to the Electricity (2) compilations over the past few weeks and we are all treated today to one of their live performances from Melkweg in Amsterdam via a webcast from the nice folks at FabChannel. The webcast starts at 20:30 CET so watch it at www.fabchannel.com/the_rakes.
Here’s a great Rakes tune to get you all in the mood:

Updates are going to be a little slow on here …

The last CTTE Mix has become The Blue Walrus’ most downloaded mix to date and so I thought it only right to follow it up with a second volume before exam revision takes over so posts will be more limited to only new bands that I find and absolutely love.

There are some big names again on here from DJ Mehdi and Justice, as well as a fantastic remix of Bloc Party by SebastiAn I picked up from GWFAS, and some other great tracks by less known artists and bands such …
