6am Maternal

I know I’ve neglected the site of late, but I got distracted by actually making music (which may be posted at a later date) rather than mixing together other peoples’ stuff. Anyway here are a couple of mixes I’ve done of late.

The first, slow, I did imagining about 6am when you’re at a party in someone’s house and the sun is up, and you’re thinking about when the pubs open and still want some beat-based music but can’t be arsed to actually dance. It is a selection of the mellower end of house music.

The second came about because I work with the legend that is Lee “the Cat” Cattini and I promised to give him some random stuff off my hard drive for his mp3 player. He’s a big fan of the Smiths (I’m not) so I tried to select some stuff that I like that falls into the category of guitar-centered music with some added stuff that he really ought to have. A selection of this has ended up as a mixtape which veers all over the place.

On listening to them both, I’d actually prefer if the cat’s mixtape at 6am.
