Our September mix is up now. A couple of new ones from shop favourites - Angel Olsen and local boys Fort William, a great little heard Go-Betweens instrumental, a couple from Foetus and Tuxedomoon, and lots more
Some of the bleeps, scrapes and pops that have kept us entertained this month - Swedish psychedelia, Russian electronica, Italian synth excursions, Japanese ambience, and lots more
Seems we've neglected to post our recent mixes up here, so if you're not following us on social media you'll likely have missed them. We've just posted our July mix, which is definitely weather influenced (hot weather music). We've also updated our ongoing playlist on Spotify, with what's available there (which isn't all that much tbh)
Listen below to the last couple, or dig in to all of them here
