Mixtape #91

04 January 2018

The year is off to a wonderful start with our first mixtape coming from Bosnian-born and Swiss-based musician and composer Mario Batkovic, a virtuoso and adventurous accordion player. Mario dazzled us with his recent eponymous album, a beguiling, powerful and emotional work that ended up being one of our album picks for 2017. So we're ecstatic to unveil his mixtape, mirroring his array of influences, from classical and jazz to Balkan and experimental music. Press play and enjoy.

  1. Kaos – Plavo-sivo [Ne! Records]
  2. Rom Schaerer Eberle – Après nous le déluge
  3. Reverend Beat-Man – Don’t Stop To Dance [Voodoo Rhythm]
  4. Beak – Wulfstan II [Invada]
  5. Karlheinz Stockhausen – Studie II [Deutsche Grammophon]
  6. Ligeti – Atmospheres [WERGO]
  7. Ludwig Van Beethoven – Egmont Overture
  8. Paul Barton: Domenico Scarlatti – Sonata in D minor
  9. Bijelo Dugme – Lipe cvatu, Sve Je Isto K’o I Lani [Diskoton /Kamarad]

Mixtape #45

03 December 2013

We've never kept our love for Oakland based psychedelic pop band Mwahaha a secret. Their mind blowing 2011 self-titled debut album, which was re-released last summer, remains an active favourite of ours. So we're excited to announce that this month's mixtape was handpicked by Ross Peacock, the band's vocal, synth, and drum-machine wizard. He lined up fifteen tracks that will take you on a journey through time and space, and then back. Enjoy the trip!
