Positive Vibrations for the End of the World

I finished another mix.

I am calling this one "Positive Vibrations for the End of the World"

I will likely be submitting it to Tiny Mix Tapes as part of their end-of-the-week Chocolate Grinder mixes, but I figured since I had already finished the mixdown before running it by them, that I would post it here first. They may end up having me edit it in some way and I will write up a post explaining the theme of the mix when it is submitted there, but I will let you know when that happens.

For now...

DOTS Mixtape

I heardtell that the DOTS cafe over on 26th and Clinton, here in Portland, is having house DJs on Monday and Tuesday nights now, so I put together this mix to submit in hopes of filling one of those spots, and I figured I'd share the completed mix with you.

I really have all these ideas for mixes, and I usually write down the first 4-5 tracks on pieces of scrap paper that ultimately get lost somewhere in my room or bag, so I am going to try harder to actually go through and make these mixes rather than lose them forever, even if they are just micro mixes of a handful of songs. This will also be part of my promise to try and update this blog more.

Download here. It's kind of shitgazey.

Tracklist:

00:00 - Wet Hair - "Camouflage"
04:06 - Galaxie 500 - "Tugboat"

Halloween Time!!

My friend Nick (DJ DJ TANNER) and I (Skyscraper) had talked about doing a Halloween tape since last year, but we didn't get around to it until now.

Listen to/download the tracks over at my bandcamp page, and you can buy one of the tapes from Warm Gospel.

I've also released a number of new tapes on the label, including a new one from DJ DJ TANNER, Theodore Schafer, and Skyscraper.

Currently underway is a tape from Ames, IA's JUXWL, another one from DJ DJ TANNER, and a Warm Gospel compilation, which I am still accepting tracks for, so send me your music if you want it to be included on the compilation.
