#keepingitpeel It’s John Peel Day and in memory of the great man I was going to upload a snippet from a classic Festive Fifty, but rather appropriately the technology’s not working. Hope to include it on a future Mixless mix, but till then here’s the transcript: “Cocteau Twins at number 21 in the Festive Fifty,… [Read more…]
Decent video on the Bristol electronic music scene – from Resident Advisor, via Shocklee and @weloveallthat. Real Scenes: Bristol from Resident Advisor on Vimeo.
Yes not big and not clever, but today’s date gives a suitable enough excuse to post two seminal tunes…
As it’s been getting so many listens (well, compared to the other mixes), seems only proper to embed the Mxlss The xx / Jamie xx xxlss mix from late last year. What this mix does is throw together some of the best remixes of xx tracks (there have been many others best avoided), a couple… [Read more…]
Played a few records before/between bands at the Fuckery Witchcraft Halloween bash at the Boneyard Bar above the Old Firestation in Bristol.

Well the return to blogging didn’t last long… Let’s try again with a write-up of a recent appearance behind the beloved borrowed decks after three virtual turns on the Mixcloud wheels of steel. At least those Mixless cloudcasts look like they’re appearing on a regular basis with mixes for May, June and July now up… [Read more…]
Ha ha, long time no see… over a year between blog posts must be something of a record. Prompted back into blog action by the recently launched and very fine We Love All That, it seems about the right time for a lick of virtual paint and a dust down of the self-promotional guff all… [Read more…]
This write-up is well overdue, but no one reads it anyway… the last Friday of January (January!? Woah this is overdue…) at Mr Wolf’s could well have been Slack Dads’ last appearance there. Hard to believe, but the devastating news dropped just a few weeks after Mixless and Bad Dad shook the venue to its… [Read more…]
