Too Many Heartaches
Too Many Heartaches by Chris Hires
A quick edit I threw together over the weekend, something for the beginning of the night. No download for now, but if it hits 250 plays I’ll give it up for free.
Everything You See Is A Reflection II
More lazy balearic and electronica jams for seaside sunsets. Stream and download it below, and then check out the tracklist by clicking the “read more” link.

Long Shadows
A few of my disco and house favorites from the first half of the summer. Nice and tropical to begin, heavier down the stretch. Stream/download it below, and check the track list after the jump.
Cut Time #4
This month’s mix for Capital is a collection of songs to welcome the warm weather back into our lives (those of us that live in the northern hemisphere, anyway). Download it and check the tracklist, complete with my random info nuggets for each song, right over here.
March Top 10 Mix
Instead of putting out a late February Chart, consider this an early March chart (comprised of things I listened to during February, as it happens). Starts off with some balearic italo stuff before getting into some dancier disco and house tunes that I’ve been into. Relish had a good month, with releases from both Hannulelauri and Headman appearing here.

Capital Mix #3
February’s mix for Capital is a trip down memory lane, provided that you grew up listening to Alternative Rock radio like I did. I get a little nostalgic about 94.5 The Edge in the column and then I mixed together a few of my favorite tracks from the second half of the decade. I liked doing this one so much that I’m already considering a follow-up mix. Read the column and download the mix here.

Cut Time Mix #1 For Capital
Recently I teamed up with the website Capital to create a new mix series called Cut Time. The first mix was released this morning, and features pop songs that are both old and new, as well as a couple Christmas songs to make it seasonally appropriate. You can listen to the mix and read my thoughts on the tracklist by clicking here.
Everything You See Is A Reflection
A mix of balearic and chillwave vibes, great for mellow times. If you plan to be drunk on a beach at any point this summer then you need this in your life ASAP. Stream and/or download it via the Soundcloud player below, and then check the track list after the jump.
