This month, I’ve put together two distinct mixes for people to enjoy. New mixes? You think with surprise. It’s been, what, a year-and-a-half since the last one?!
You’re correct. It’s been a while. I decided to take matters into my own hands and create mixes myself. They don’t have the professional, vinyl-centric sheen of the previously commissioned mixes (although one of the new ones does have vinyl cuts). Nevertheless, they’re a good time. Details below.
Vehlinggo Mix 5: I Wanted It Darker
It’s a brief ride through some dark corners that culminate in some bright-shots.
- Boy Harsher – “Morphine”
- New Order – “5 8 6”
- SURVIVE – “Sorcerer”
- Leonard Cohen – “You Wanted It Darker”
- Symmetry – “Cruise Control”
- Monty Luke – “Tomorrow”
- Electric Youth – “Final Girl”
Vehlinggo Mix 6: Some Light for Your Eyes
Despite the rather sunny conclusion of the previous mix, I realize that overall it was a dark one. Some live for that, but others might be more into the brighter side of things. Luckily, there’s Mix 6.
- Goldfrapp – “Rocket”
- Baltimora – “Tarzan Boy”
- Paperwhite – “On My Own”
- Glass Candy – “Warm in the Winter”
- Furniteur – “Redundant Buzz”
- College – “The Origin of Troubles”
- Sebastien Tellier – “Roche (Breakbot Remix)”
- Jan Hammer – “Crockett’s Theme”
Going forward, I personally intend to still create mixes. I’ve got an ambient one and an utterly off-kilter one each planned for February. However, I’m actively pursuing mixes from real DJs. Stay tuned.
