Better Weather by Chris Hires on Mixcloud
Everyone keeps telling me that spring is just around the corner, but it’s April now and I’m starting to get impatient so I made this mix with the hopes of nudging things along. It’s a handfull of songs that I’ve been into recently, that I also think would sound great with the windows rolled down. Enjoy!

It’s been a minute, but I finally found the time to gather some tracks into a mix for y’all. This one features one original production (“Heather”) alongside some recent favorites, with some of my favorite tracks from 2012 thrown in for good measure. Stream it or download it via the player below, and check the track list after the jump.
Just a little something I’ve been working on, now available for free download.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
