It's New Years Eve (or already the first day of the new year,
depending on where you are), and you may be looking for something other than the radio to play for a countdown. Head backwards, then, to
cruise into the 80s with the Grateful Dead for the
closing of Winterland. Or join
the Janglers to
say goodby to 1993 and hello to 1994 at
Peabody's Downunder. You can check out
twelve hours of Essential Mixing and relive the transition from 2000 to 2001. Get closer to the present day with
some big band and swing into 2010 in style.
Say hello to 2011 with
B.A.G.S. (Bullman, Ashworth, Guggino, Sipe), spend
an hour and a half with
Blu Mar Ten or
six and a half hours with
Mr Scruff. And if you're looking for something new for tonight, try some mixes from
Redondo,
Montreal Funk Monkeys, and
a countdown minimix from DJ Raymix.

If you're looking for some uplifting dance music to help you get your week going, Goldroom's
Otoño Mix 2011 is a very soulful nu-disco collection that pairs nicely with The Magician's
Magic Tape Sixteen. Need something with more energy? Edwin van Cleef's
November mix is a bit more hands in the air, perfectly suited for the elimination of afternoon doldrums.

Blu Mar Ten is an electronic-type production group that started out in the mid 1990s as the duo Leo Wyndham and Chris Marigold. Initially making drum'n'bass in
an atmospheric vein and dropping their
first single in 1996, the duo signed to LTJ Bukem's
Good Looking label
the next year, where they resided until 2001. After parting ways with GLR, they mixed things up and dropping a
UK Garage/breaks single,
a techno single, and even
a mashup of
Thin Lizzie and
The Carpenters, all before finally releasing their
first album in late 2003. Jump ahead to 2009, and
the duo is a trio, with
two more
albums to their collective name, and their revamped website that is now home to
a collection of mixes new and old,
a growing collection of videos, and a peak into
the evolution of a track.

Bedroom Music for Bedroom People A veritable treasure trove of hours and hours of mixes of fine abstract headphone-fodder of varying flavours, be it compelling hiphop or weirdo IDM or just etcetera. A fine way to pass a lazy Sunday away ...
