Lunacy the mixtapes

[im not a robot]

i have been going through a lot of youtube links lately (here & here, i have not yet gotten to this or this), but there clearly are times when repeatedly clicking a button can become taxing - at least after a good while.

i do this mostly while at work, but there are times for cooking or dating (i wish) or staring out the window that could do better with a more automated backdrop.
so for those times i propose this place for curated music exceeding the 30min mark.
it might help to classify what kind of music it is?
i'll start with this collection of MELANCHOLY WORLD MUSIC (including some bob dylan):

2 hip hop mixes from ninja tunes veteran dj vadim
90s/2000s
"I wanted to do a mix highlighting some of my favourite rappers but not just 90’s because there have been many dope newcomers too."


& an exclusive a tribe called quest remix
"For a long time A Tribe Called Quest has been one of my favourite all round groups from the beat, rhymes, flows, persona, longevity, show performance, to name a few (!)… just simply classic material! And, oh yeah, Dilla produced a lot of their last 2 albums!"

:) yeah.. i discovered ninja tunes at about the same time as cannabis. a really good match at the time. & i initially wanted to post coldkrushcuts here,




one of my favourite DOWNTEMPO mix albums from this period, particularly dj krush's part 'back in the base'. there is plenty of early dj vadim in there as well. i couldn't find it earlier - BUT i just did, so here it is. mid nineties & it does show, but i love it still, it felt revolutionary at the time. & goes really well with a particular degree of night.

amon tobin is fantastic.
he is also brazilian, so here is another one of madlib's medicine show releases FLIGHT TO BRAZIL, an eclectic tour through three or four decades of Brazilian funk, psychedelic, prog-rock and jazz.

i am a bit late to this & only recently got introduced to the internet radio NTS, which could maybe be described as Somewhere between BBC 6 Music’s diversity and pirate radio’s DIY spirit

there are usually two djs on the air to pick from & as far as i understand it, all shows get archived which can be accessed via a pretty good search function (you could for instance search for shanties and come up with a good shanty mix https://www.nts.live/shows/the-nts-...orebitters-songs-of-the-sea-26th-january-2021)

it is quite an eclectic and enthusiastic selection of music, the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTS_Radio#Programming_and_creative gives an overview of the kind of guest djs that have hosted shows there, and may give an indication of how diverse this program can be.

i won't post one particular mix here, wouldnt know how to pick, and it so depends on mood & preference. just start wherever, it is worth it https://www.nts.live/

i am totally in love.. peace out.
