This mix is pretty different than all of the mixes I've done before, because it has no reggae in all at it!
That's ok though, as I've come to accept that some people actually prefer listening to music that isn't reggae. So for this mix I compiled a collection of tunes created almost completely by the amazing Warp and Rephlex records over the last few years (with one Irish fella thrown in der for good luck). This music has a dear place in my heart, and helped to keep me awake during marathon stretches of animating during college. Thanks lads.
I wanted to focus on the output from these labels that had their signature frantic beats, but also had some ambient melody to them. To me they feel calm, with a playful energy. Not ideal for breaking out in a club environment, but perhaps perfect for listening to while staring into magic eye imagery and thinking of things really quickly.
That of course is just a random situation I made up on the spot, have a listen and make up your own mind, for flips sake.
