An Old Mix

Whilst doing the washing up my Ipod uncovered something I thought had been lost. It's a mix I made two and a half years ago, way before I was Shitronic, Battery Powered or even writing Pier Pressure. It was a few months after I first started DJing, it's created on an old piece of mixing software and is low quality and grainy but the tracks are all pretty nice and they sit well alongside the other music on here. It's also one of the rare pieces of music you can download from this blog so make the most of it.

I haven't got the tracklisting written down anymore so leave me a comment if you'd like to know what it is and I'll sit down and work it out.

Merry Christmas From Shitronic

Recently i have been accused of not getting into the christmas spirit so to prove these disgustingly jolly people wrong i have created a mixtape. It contains songs about christmas or winter or songs that are named after films that are shown at christmas or in winter and songs that are otherwise very tenuously linked to one of the former. I hope you enjoy it more than i enjoy christmas but not more than you do.

Tracklist:
1. The Wave Pictures - We Dressed Up Like Snowmen
2. Mystery Jets - Flakes

On a final note, this mixtape is one continuous track recorded at 128kbps, it's designed to be enjoyed when listened to but if you particularly like any of the songs on here, please buy their album. I'm not sure how but i got into a bit of trouble last time i posted a mix, please know that i make these to share my appreciation of music and to encourage others to invest in the subjects i care about.

Merry Christmas

Something For The Weekend

Shitronic can't work a dancefloor mix

Just in case you're stuck in your house entertaining the in-laws when you'd rather be dancing your feet off, this might provide some respite.

It's nearly a live one-taker.

The brief: I was asked by a friend to make a mix of songs i would play if i had the luxury of a headline set, so this is me reeling out all the bangers i don't normally get chance to play. Not very imaginitive but fun (for me) and HEAVY.
