Loved the recent Dinky mix, the Todd Edwards one is great. I download most of them tbh but y'know a lot of them don't get a second listen. Same with the ResidentAdvisor ones.

Been really digging the CREEP mix from January, among others, specifically the overlap between Rock Yo Hips and All of the Lights, whose instrumental works surprisingly well once it's used as a backing track for things that are not Kanye. Also the Dark0 track at the end is A++.

is there a way to subscribe to fact without having to read all the london party fodder? a different rss or something? i like the mag but it's getting hard to follow.
― cuteforce, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 01:46 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I used to check in with FACT every day but it's getting increasingly difficult to want to for anything other than the mixes. The reviews seem to be of the same artists all the time and be either oozing praise or suggesting promise of better things yet to come, and some of the writing seems to be getting a bit sloppy. Obviously there's still some fantastic work in there and the odd curveball news item but its getting very scene-scentric at the expense of what first caught my eye about it.
I sctually really miss the print editions. They were so well put together and aesthetically pleasing. I know the remit of it now seems to be UK bass music with the odd periphery features, but they used to cover more ground and it wasn't bad at all.

are any of these mixes that amazing? they dont really sound that essential to me. its just some promo thing for most of them, slung together to get them some extra coverage. i rarely hear these mixes, and stop in my tracks to think FUCK this is good. well apart from the kode 9 jungle mix.

"These FACT mixes are out of control! How do they expect their readers to digest half of these mixes when they come so thick and fast. Same goes for some of the other blogs/ sites out there. It's just overwhelming."
OTM
who can keep track? i dont have the time. wish i could. one a month would be nice to make it more special. but i suppose thats impossible when you want to keep getting hits.

oops
Dylan Ettinger mix up on Fact magazine.
celebrating the really romantic new wave tracks that inspired his new album.
But I agree with the points upthread.
I likened it to a chef who gets to go to so many restaurants, they can never cook at home. Thats how I feel with internet mixes, there is like 6 per week that are great, I never really have time to do my own mixes or do my own searching for tunes.
and the motivation is gone, when you know you could get an amazing ambient/dubstep/minimal/deephouse mix in seconds from a world class DJ.
I remember when it was essential mix on Radio 1 and mix CDs and that was waiting for a mix you liked, then rinsing it for weeks/months.
