Favourite Mixes :: 2013

Here are a couple of my favourite mixes from 2013. They are not really in any particular order, but they have caught my eye over the past year. They both feature different genres, and the selections are on point - although they do let off different vibes.

Firstly, a Perseus & Jonas Rathsman Essential Mix, put together for BBC Radio 1 earlier in the year. The intro of Underworld blending into Chris Malinchak sets the mood for this mix, just laid back, easy listening. The mix goes upbeat a few times, then slower with the Aaliyah songs, but overall this transition of tempo works beautifully.
 

The second mix is far more in your face - Oneman's 'Solitaire Vol. 2'. This mix has it all: house, Chicago rap, funk, grime - you name it. Anyone who knows me knows how big of a fan I am of Oneman. His selection is always right in line with my taste, whether it's live or recorded. If there was a mix out there which includes the vast amount of my musical taste, its this one. It also closes with Oneman's remix of Mount Kimbie towards the end. Probably my favourite mix from 2013.
