Mixtape time!

Tonnes of gems floating about at the moment. Here are five sweet peaches...

The Glitch Mob’s Crush Mode mix. Crunchin’, crunkin’, glitchin’, bitchin’. Right from the big CA. Go here.

Martello x Trinotron, hosted by Serocee. Beeeyoootifully knits together stuff from Weezy to Sticky. Hear here.

L-Vis 1990’s Dubplates Mix. We love this kid. Heavy. And kind of cheesy, at the same time. Like a Big Mac. Be here.

Cesca’s System Vol. 2. Or is it Chesca? Disco all the way, either way, baby. Right here.

While we’re on a disco tip, here’s a short rinse of Gino Soccio stuff. Know him? He rules. ‘Try It Out’ is, like, WTF, OMG, one of my fave songs ever and there’s an instrumental of it on here.
