Four day working weeks, eh? They’re great, aren’t they? I mean, apart from thinking Tuesday is Monday, Wednesday is Tuesday, Thursday is Wednesday and so on until come Saturday, everything goes back to normal and you stop thinking it’s Friday cos you can lay in bed for a bit longer.
Wait, Friday? Well, that must mean it’s time for another one of those “eclectic” mixes that I throw together diligently curate for your aural delectation. I see Herbie’s pretty revved up in anticipation, even if you aren’t.
With all this talk of there being one less day in work this week, you’d think I’d have bothered to write some sleevenotes, wouldn’t you? Well, you’d be wrong.
So what can I say about this week’s fare to whet your appetite? Well, safe to say it’s a little more beat-centric, less-guitary than usual, but it contains all of the usual hallmarks of one of my mixes (by which I don’t mean poorly done, thank you very much): we kick off with an appropriate tune, if a little more chilled – and definitely wetter – than many previous efforts; there’s guest appearances from Tricky (even though, if memory serves, he was less than delighted with it) and Nina Simone (via a sample, granted); it builds effortlessly to a climax which will have you collapsing back onto your beds, shuddering, breathless, exhausted; and contains an 80s MOR tune remixed. (I did warn you about these cropping up from time to time – but fear not! There’s no need to avoid or be concerned this week as it’s by the legend that is Arthur Baker)
So without further ado (I do dislike ado, especially when there’s much of it and it’s about, well, nothing), let’s crack on shall we?
