Mixtape vol. 8 - “Yes”

Phew! It’s been a while. I actually compiled this mix back in May or June but didn’t get round to finishing it until now. Once again there’s no theme other than music I’m currently enjoying - or at least, was enjoying 4 months ago! Read more »

Mixtape vol. 7 - “For Great Justice”

My original plan for a-mix-a-month fell through in January when I failed to produce anything. Now I’ll just put these out as and when I have time.

Featuring classics from Aphex Twin and Mr Bungle as well as some more obscure tracks, this mix showcases some of my favourite computer game-inspired music. It’s a bit shorter than usual because I wanted to keep the quality high. Extra geek points to anyone who can tell me which game intro the bonus track is from!

Mixtape vol. 6 - “Half Way Round”

So here it is, Merry Podmas… and not a Christmas song in sight! It’s an easy-listening, I’ve-eaten-too-much-please-don’t-make-me-get-up kind of mix. And unlike alcohol, no moderation is necessary in the enjoyment of this product.

It’s a collection of my favourite original film scores: tracks which were produced for a particular film.

(PS I’m now calling these audio downloads mixtapes because many people seem to have difficulty with the term podcast. Using an incorrect term that everyone understands is probably more useful than a correct one which many misunderstand :) )

Podcast 1 - “Is There Anybody Out There?” Edition

I’ve become totally addicted to podcasts recently. Commuting to Sheffield every week gives me plenty of time on trains and as I listened to the great OLO Radio podcast I thought to myself “Hey, I could do this!”. However it wasn’t until another day as I listened to the Diesler podcast that i thought to myself “Hey, I should do this!”.

So here it is, download Podcast 1 - “Is There Anybody Out There?” Edition.

There’s no real theme, it’s just stuff I quite like. I’ll try and do these monthly from now on so be sure to subscribe to the iTunes feed for automatic updates. Please let me know if you enjoyed it!
