favorite mixes of 2014, shiiiiit

no contest on repping for the home team ;). but also it's one of my favs of 2014.

oh cool

this mix is also very much on my wavelength: http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/21207/1/stream-maria-chavezs-exclusive-warm-up-mix

i love ben, though i can't help but feel some sets are a bit too disjointed to my ears, like this one.

^^ I'd have to agree. Whilst I appreciate his eclecticism, I've never warmed to any of his mixes particularly. Perhaps in a live setting it all makes sense.

ack forgot what the last track in that one is!

The Ital mix for XLR8R. Quite intense and hypnotic echo-chamber tech-house, opens onto a clearing at the very end with some sunshine and a saxophone playing. Feeling a bit spun out after listening to it. Not really hipster house-ish (whatever that might mean). Wondering if anyone's checked out his new record?

Deetron's Fabric entry is a mix of two halves, the first half is solidly enjoyable if unremarkable house but the other half is psychedelic woozy comedown music.

That Shanti Celeste release is brilliant.

28 tracks? in a cd length mix? This is kind of the problem with feature mixes, too many records crammed in

lol ital mix looks right up my art ghetto alley, maybe a little too close to home, "automatic writing" is amazeballs but rmde idk i'll listen to it at some pt.

the dettmann fabric mix is dope. hearing something about clarity and fun in it and the ryan elliott mix. really functional for this corner of techno / tech house it seems.

some bedtime sounds or perhaps morning

actually scrub that one

New one from Ben UFO - http://truantsblog.com/2014/truancy-volume-100-ben-ufo/#more-33785

16. Steve O’Sullivan – No Details

this record just never gets old no matter how much its played!

ben is getting too weird for me

this is my kinda mix (unpredictable, live instrument overdubs, etc) - http://www.thefader.com/2014/09/22/anenon-mix

I've been going through my backlog for the last couple of weeks (for some reason I just couldn't find the time or energy to listen to mixes and longer-form music for months and months); some of my favorites:
Aisha Devi for Juno Plus
Visionist for Fader
SSION for Dazed
M.E.S.H. (whose EP on PAN is brilliant too) for Truants' Functions of the Now series and FACT
Rabit for FACT and his Pandemic Transmission podcasts

Some really trippy stuff on this Marcellis mix: https://soundcloud.com/wake-up-records/wake-up-podcast-marcellis

Best set I've heard in a while. Don't know much about this guy. He did a mix for RA a while back which I also need to check.

https://soundcloud.com/libertine-berlin/libertine-podcast-01-omar

realllllllly enjoying this techno mix from Liviu Groza https://soundcloud.com/strictlyvinylpodcast/svp018

I just came to post that one lukas! This one is a bit more experimental, I can only recognise the Villalobos Loderbauer thing on Perlon towards the end..

https://soundcloud.com/pluie-noir/pluienoir-podcast-052-release-special-beautiful-town-by-fumiya-tanaka

That Liviu Groza mix is great, thanks! Good to hear the Kassem Mosse track at the end, feel like there were a few other things I recognised, too.

10 mins in is so familiar, should know it

Illum Sphere's Fabric CD is the fucking bomb. I've not been that impressed by what I've heard of his productions but this mix is killer - got a bit of dub, a bit of acid, a bit of 80s coldwave synth stuff and a Demdike Stare tune in the middle because why the hell not
