A C Slate no r Mixtape


These are some gems that I’ve picked up “tapin” around, and have always been fond of… dubbed straight from the tapes themselves… as well as alittle audio info about the Taper of Ceremonies.. I’ve included some of my favorite “international” songs, as well as a few local ones to boot… Somewhat disparate in their sound, style and even execution, I think they’re all great.

Tony Banks  ”By You”
Fantastic Something  “If She Doesn’t Smile (It’ll Rain)”
The Renegade Raiders “Really, Really Rambunctious”
The Stephensons “Hangin’ Around”
A C Slate no r “well”
Antonello Venditti “Sara”
The Smith Brothers w/ Heidi Bass “I Can’t Even Get The Blues”
Dustin Fields “Taming the Maverick”
McCarthy “An MP Speaks”
Antietam “An Open Letter”
The Ashleys “I Know Love”
Maya & Magaly “Caminando”
A C Slate no r “Resurrection”

Halasan Bazar Mixtape


Here’s what lead vocalist for Halasan Bazar, Fredrik Rollum Eckhoff had to say about the mix:
“I built this hazy mix of organ instrumentals & twangy guitar around the soundtrack for Valeries Week of Wonders, an old weird eastern European psychedelic film. It´s pretty much a homage to Broadcast and their vision, but merged with my own twisted Nordic take on psychedelia, with swedish cosmic organ kings Bo Hannson & Eric Malmberg & the new twang pop of White Fence, Woods & MGMT. Strangely it all blends like soup. And yeah, I tossed in a couple old Halasan instrumentals just for good measure.”

Popular Culture Mixtape

Begins and ends with duets. Everyone needs somebody, everybody needs someone. I recently moved from Texas to New York City. Traveling songs and field recordings from tour and other in-betweens. Songs I have been arrested to. Some for years, some for months and some for weeks. Sounds that for a moment make me free.

Long Lost Records Mixtape


My name’s Aidan. I run a small bedroom label called Long Lost Records, and make music as Soil Creep and with my band Celibacy Club. Here’s my International Tapes mix. I wanted to make something fun and interesting that was a reflection of stuff I’ve been listening to lately. Suggested listening situations: dancing to a funeral, watching X-files on mute, waiting for a Counter Strike match to start, having just opened a window 20 degrees open. Enjoy.

Russian Ghetto Compilation Vol.1


Russian youngsters are used to ignore the cruelty and poverty of the place they live, especially when it comes to the music. They rarely describe the reality and prefer to think like they are from Brooklyn, Berlin, London or, maybe, Paris. What to say, for many reasons protest songs are nearly extinct as a genre and that’s surely not because the times are getting better. Thankfully, with every month new electronic scene here becomes more connected with “poor Russia” reality. Not that I am starving on the street, but check out these pics from «Berjozka» community: they are insane and it is required to stress additionally that they are true.

It all started two years ago when Vtgnike release a tape called «Vanity of Nothingless» where he created a brand new juke subgenre based on the Soviet pop music and weird Russian scene of the 90s. It took a time to understand what Danila had done to us, but to the end of the year he ended as an acclaimed creator behind the most popular record of local underground scene.

It took a year more to get courage and accept that Russian pop music of 90s was not just funny — sometimes it was really impressive. In attempt to make it all serious, DJ Azamat and Raumskaya created a «Beryoza» community that had just released a first «Russian Ghetto Compilation Vol.1». It could be uncanny to sample all these 90s and 00s artists even a couple years ago, it was creepy even to think that most talented Russian producers would agree to do it in a serious way. Finally, the music is here to enjoy — Russian juke made of birch juice, infinite carpets, bandit vibe and cruel samples.  To move further it is important to accept the world we live in. Here is our first attempt.

Julia Brown Mixtape


these 17 songs are a mix of things that i’ve loved for a very long time and stuff i’ve been listening to a lot in the last few months – the lines blur a lot since i don’t really regard much music as ‘disposable’. things that stick with me usually stick with me for a while – at least until i grow out of them i guess – even then it usually cycles. so these songs are a mix of things that have stuck with me since highschool/college and recent songs i can’t imagine going away anytime soon. several of them are by friends or acquaintances, past or present. there’s too much music that goes completely unnoticed, whether by accident or because people don’t even bother to really release it.

1. wait for you – laurel
2. the love we could have had – rose melberg
3. frontin – pharrell
4. backstabber – the rondelles
5. dreamphone – peach kelli pop
6. you can come true (demo) – cuffs
7. kisses are always promises – rocketship
8. bike – alex g.
9. kiss me – the memories
10. my lai (demo) – coma cinema
11. vote for me 2003 – abraham rubin
12. without you around – cotton candy collective
13. cooking – duster
14. ~ – happy trendy
15. glass petals – blithe field
16. la lettre qu’il n’envoya jamais – sylvain chauveau
17. forgetting you – pill friends

%20 Mixtape


It’s a collection of bits from various old and not so old tapes and there’s no tracklist because some of the tapes were made more than 15 years ago, but this mix includes a) condom ad from some Latvian radio ~1997, b) some bits from tapes found in Neukolln’s flea markets, c) my own first musical experiments from the late 90′s, d) accidental recording made in a night bus to St. Petersburg, e) few pieces from 15 years old pirate mixtapes that introduced me to something called “breakbeat”, as well as caputered late night BBC Radio 1 shows from the same time, f) Nina Simone, g) a Ludacris piece from old Latvian hip hop radio show.

Giant Claw Mixtape


Here is my Mix for International Tapes! There are no thematic surprises here, but I actually love this as an album, just hearing these songs in sequence. I hope a specific time and place was captured, via several disparate times and places. Putting it together reminded me that compiling other people’s music can express how you feel better than presenting your own, or at the very least serve as a much quicker form of expression. Thanks for listening!

1. YMO LOOP
2. Snatcher Intro
3. Here Comes My Girl (GC Rmx)
4. DRUM SOLO
5. Giant Claw – Max Mutant
6. Ray & The Prisms – Ethnograph
7. Andy Clark – Full Force
8. Policenauts Into
9. SEGA BOOT
10. Vince Dicola – Autobot / Decepticon Battle
11. SLAP BASS
12. YYU – When You Said That
13. THINKIN BOUT YOU
14. J.S. Bach – Cello Suite No. 3, Sarabande
15. Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 – I Wanna Take You For A Ride

Branches Mixtape


Sea, Sky, Land

Music has always been about taking you to places. That’s where it takes me: to the sea (one of my muses), to the sky, to other lands. Your place in the world is tiny: get out of it, be respectful, be at peace. Through music, we can breathe, dream and live forever.

Jon Hassell – Empire I
Harmonia – Watussi
Wools – How Can You Mend a Bee Gee
Alexander O’Neal – A Broken Heart Can Mend
Nuno Canavarro – Untitled
Mediafired – Aurum Vitae
Rhythm & Sound – Carrier
Richard Youngs – Low Bay of Sky
