This might just be my post of the year. 20 songs from 24 artists (remixes double it up) who appear at Electric Picnic this year clocking in at 63 minutes. This mixtape has some of my favourite music of the year contained within it, mixed to the best of my ability in under six hours and you don’t even have to be going to the festival to enjoy it. The second half properly kicks off. It’s available as the latest podcast too.

As it’s a fairly beat-orientated mix, I will also suggest you do not miss the following at the weekend if you’re heading which did not feature here: Moderat (a project which will apparently not exist much longer), Brian Wilson, Jeffrey Lewis, The Rubberbandits, Roots Manuva, Bat for Lashes, Chris Cunningham, Jennifer Evans, Tunng, Villagers, Skream & Benga, Introducing (DJ Shadow live cover band), Flaming Lips, Duke Dumont, First Aid Kit , Beach House and Amadou & Mariam.
Also check out CubikMusik’s EP Mix.

Class! Thanking you
Good stuff. Will have this on for the journey on the way down. Some tidy mixing there too.
Great mix tape there…guess I can now have my own EP with the dogs, some cans and my ipod in the back garden!! Sad…I know!!
One thing that is sorely missing is an epic Orbital choon!! Belfast perhaps?!?
I was going to go with Chime but it was 4am so I just left it!
The mix between Klaxons and The Temper Trap is a bit dodge, everything else is OK.
Nice work dude!
lovely stuff. U spoil us
What??!! No Chic!!???
Ooop! Just saw Chic there Ha!!
Nice one. Burning on to a disc as i type.
see you down there.
sooperdooper, but im not going to listen to it until monday…just in case it makes me cry hot salty tears of bitterness.
you’ve really thrown me askew with that moderat comment.. so you’d recommend going to moderat over chris cunningham then, yeah??

I didn’t realise they were clashing firstly and secondly that’s what it says on their myspace. “Moderat is over soon.”
