Keeping the mixtapes on the weird side, one of my favourite past times of recent months has been trying to coax a positive opinion about the state of dance music out of personal friend, professional curmudgeon and man of many names DrumCircleShit who was once part of Bastard Pop ensemble Frenchbloke & Son. Check out his current excusions into noise here.
An excellent selector of records, he invariably has detailed exactly why he hates every single record I play (which is usually the role the general public plays) Eventually a gauntlet of sorts was thrown in his face and a challenge to record a mix of his favourite garage punk/rockabilly oddities.
Sadly, it appears more feasible to get a rock to donate blood than have him conjure up a new mixtape but the cheeky Scotsman did up a excellent mix from the vaults which has to be shared.
