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.

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

Chris — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 04:35:11 +0000

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.

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.
