Personal Mixtapes#7

by MUSCLES. Interview from Drownedinsound.

'Breakaway' - Basement JaxxThe second track on their Rooty album. The production on this track is insane. I've been listening to this every day for the past three months.

'Ed Is A Portal - Akron/FamilyMy favourite song of 2007.

'It's For You' - Out HudWhen Out Hud released this song in 2005 I thought this is the most brilliant, inventive dance tune I'd heard in ages. Everything about it - the beat, the vocals, the snare clap, the weird noises, it's so original. (YouTube)

'Aavehuminaa (Katjalle)' - EsI put this song on before I went to bed every night in 2006. I listen to it now whenever I want to be relaxed. (YouTube)

'Deserter' - Matthew DearThe tone of this song is so miserable. (MySpace)

'Like Something 4 Porno' - Felix Da HousecatSexy song. (YouTube)

'Out Of The Blue' - System FOne of my favourite epic trance songs ever, a masterpiece! (YouTube)

'Change Channel' - Lo Fi FnkThe energy and crazy production and intense vocals on this tune make me giddy, if you are sad this song makes you feel so good. And they're Swedish which is cool. (YouTube)

'Take Care' - Fat PhazeA friend on a messageboard introduced me to this song last year and it continues to be one of the most listened-to songs on my iPod.

'New Life' - Matias AguayoA random finding whilst browsing Kompakt's mp3 shop, I love the rhythm and simplicity of this track.
