Recently added a tape deck to my hifi and have been having a blast making mix tapes. There’s something therapeutic about writing a track list and getting the recording just right.
This mix is all my favourite Tiny Desk performances. Side A is more danceable and Side B is slightly more subdued. What’s great about recording live sets is you capture the artists chit chatting and the crowd. Perfect for Tiny Desks too as everyone seems to be having a lot of fun.
I’ve also got a quick slice of Elmo introducing and closing each side with a few words from Bob Boilen about the impact of music and Tiny Desk.

🔊I prefer to work while listening to music, but I get distracted if there are too many lyrics. As a result, I listen to a lot of electronic music, and SoundCloud (and sometimes Mixcloud) is the best platform to hear a DJ set. I made a few mixes during the pandemic, which you can listen to here. I’m not great at physically mixing records — CDJs are easy enough, but beatmatching on wax is a truly difficult craft I respect! — so I often sample a movie quote or YouTube deep cut to transition between tunes. If you want to hear real DJs, below is a collection of sets, mixes, and a couple radio shows I’ve been hitting as of late. Vibe-wise, they lean towards 303s, Drexciya-era electro, early UK dubstep/bass, and film score gems — in other words, downright slappers left and right.

Easily one of my top shows of all time, 3 seasons of gold - absolutely hilarious. A real BBC comedy but not dry and deadpan like the office but beautiful and reflective.

I walked out to the hill behind our house which looks positively Alaskan today, and it would be easier to explain this if I had a picture to show you, but I was with our young dog and he was running through the tall grass like running through the tall grass is all of life together, until a bird calls or he finds a beer can and that thing fills all the space in his head.
