Just in time for what is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend in Boston, here’s a new disco tape. It’s another promo mix, no editing except for a track that wound up running a little hot.

Usually my disco has a tad more bass to it, but I was feeling funky and spacey. I really like the plinky, afternoon-y, sound it starts with and the bigger-room sound it ends with. That Russ Chimes remix is probably my favorite track of the whole mix, but how can you say no to Treasure Fingers? And that incredible remix of Dragonette? Defintiely a mix to enjoy while there is sun to be found.

I made this tape because 1) I’ve always wanted to make a lounge/downtempo tape, and 2) There’s a particular bar that always evokes this kind of feeling in me and the endless beaches only add to the fire.

But anyway. Apparently the really colorfully decorated cabs with the really loud subwoofers are connected to sound systems. “No kidding,” you might say, “That’s how you play music.” No, no, my friend. I mean a sound system, with DJs and whatnot. Oh yes. And they have the craziest music – heavy bass, spacey drums, blaring synths, and amazing zulu hooks. Apparently they organize drag races/raves every once in a while.

While I don’t have the stones to track down a taxibus rave, I do have the stones to try and swap music with the drivers. The plan: make mixtapes, hand them to the driver, and convince them to hand me over their cd. The mix I put together is all heavy bass, some club rhythms, etc. Stuff that is similar to their cds in idea but totally different in execution. In other words, some hectic driving music. And now I present to you…

It’s been a while since the last mixtape, but you can’t be “late” if you never promised one in the first place… right? Well, anyways. I was working on a harder mixtape earlier and I hope to finish that one up at some point, but in the meantime here is a groovy disco-house tape.

As tends to happen with me, I decided it was a great idea to start recording at 2am and not stop until I was done. After some tweaks (chopping up some vocals and such), I finished. Tracklist is below. Comments are always appreciated.

Leave a comment, much appreciated.

I promised you I’d make a recording of the set, and here it is. It was an absolute blast to play up on that stage, and Eve6′s performance was doubly cool. It may have just been background music for the booze, but I’m okay with that. What’s a party without some decent music? I’m not sure if you heard, but there’s another Saturday coming up. I suggest you throw a party, and then throw this on. That’s that party & bullshit. Run-time of an hour and a half.
