Cassette Culture Old

Japanese Popstars have released a track called "Electric Poet" to celebrate their new album 'We Just Are'. Their gaining momentum with a eries of awards and favourable magazine reviews. Impressively, Mixmag proclaims that "they might also be the most exciting electronic act on the planet". Less impressively, Electric Circus say they are "One of the hottest electro acts to come out of Ireland recently" ...do a lot of hot electro acts come from Ireland? If you are a hot electro act from Ireland please e-mail me to correct my ignorance. Anyway, that has nothing to do with Japanese Popstars who are pretty fantastic. As well as Electric Poet, check out their remix of Spoon and Tong's "Gas Face" which you might of heard pop up in my Daft Monkey mix.

In the summer I bought myself a Hercules console and set about learning how to mix by pressing buttons and hitting stuff. I made my first pre-recorded mixtape a while ago but didn't feel it was good enough to share here. My next effort is a little better but still very amateur! In no way am I proclaiming this to be anything amazing at all - I just thought a few of you might like a listen and if anyone can give me feedback, positive or negative, I would really appreciate it. The mix is a live set I played at a party in Cardiff last Tuesday and I've called it "Daft Monkey" (there's a lot of Daft Punk in there)

I'll be posting some of the tracks over the next week or so - look forward to that!
