Mixtapes for the 21st Century

83 Spotisfaction Friday 09/07/10 - David Prowse

Weekend, woop! If you’ve not yet planned anything, some of the Spotisfaction crew will be attending the Midsummer Fiesta in Cheltenham’s Montpellier tomorrow - if you’re going, come search us out and we’ll chill in the sun together, a blissed out posse of music-loving nerds. It promises to be a wicked day out, with live music by Waiting For Kate, The Divine Secret and others.

Check here for further info, yo.

Today’s playlist is by yours truly, and is hopefully appropriate for the sunny weather today.

Blood Guts and Firetrucks, y’all.
[David]

My playlist today is stuff I’ve been listening to for the last couple of weeks. Some of it’s new, some of it is obscure. Hopefully all of it is funky and will bring a smile to your face.

Favourites include Jazzanova, who are a band I’ve got all the time in the world for. They’ve recently stepped back into the studio, so it’s only right they’ve got me salivating enough to feature them pretty heavily on my playlist in one form or another.

I’m also a pretty massive fan of Japanese jazz fiends, SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS - honestly, if you even remotely like modern jazz/funk/soul, check them out. You won’t be disappointed. My favourite track of theirs is Mars (which would have been on this playlist if I’d not already featured it before).

A lot of credit for this playlist goes to an ex-housemate of mine, Ryan French, who got me into the majority of stuff that features. Big love, stranger. Still waiting for you to make us a playlist, though… ;)
