I think i’m really losing the plot, this mix is pretty much ridiculous. It’s a christmas mix, but of a pretty unique flavour. None of your tradition Xmas tunes here (well, maybe one or two) but this is mainly a collection of ‘none-trad-xmas’ (a genre i’ve just invented).

A little bit of theme tune, a little bit of soul, a little bit of minimal techno and some questionable hip hop – all the classic ingredients for a good old christmas. I think i’m suffering from a little sleep deprivation or something, I hope this makes sense to some of you out there.

Happy winter holiday season time.

Some of you might have heard about the Circle music club, some of you might even be members. This is an early version of my one done in december. Its quite varied and jumps all over the place, but I haven’t got another episode ready so I reckon i’ll put this out. Circle members get a neat mixed file for their ePods, and everyone else gets a glimpse into the Circle. I think there might be a ‘Best of Circle’ episode sometime in the next couple of months too. Once I’ve given them all a good listen…

There were a couple of Christmas songs on the end which i’ve cut off really roughly so sorry for the abrupt ending.

Another one from DJTC, i’ll let him explain:

it really is a random mix, semi-inspired by your one the other week featuring the DPs for your trip along the river. Basically, i thought i’d make the imp a mix, so i put my itunes on shuffle for some inspiration, and the first thirteen tracks that came up were these. In this order.

Obviously that’s a lie, but heck - they could’ve been, and that’s the point. There is no theme or structure. It’s just Some Good Songs.

Tracklisting

the simpsons - police answering machine
blur - chinese bombs (performed live at peel acres)
dj shadow - why hip-hop sucks in ‘96
beastie boys - sure shot
alice gunn - lying low

I can’t think of a clever name for this one. There isn’t a theme, or a concept. Or even a hour’s worth of music. Instead its 38 minutes of ’some music’, played in a row and slightly overlapping. What’s with Late Of The Pier, are they good or not? I can’t even tell anymore.
