Nuggets 258 – Driving Electro 11

Nuggets 258 - Driving Electro 11

Apparently Beck has a large collection of synthesisers. In an interview he said that he was fascinated by the different tones they make. I’m no muso, but I am intrigued by how the synth sound has changed over the years. This mix has synth tunes from 1981 onwards. See if you can pick the old from the new.

There’s a few tracks missing, I will fix that later.

If you don’t see a playable playlist below, try the following link to Grooveshark. The playlist should look good on a mobile phone. Feedback appreciated…

Nuggets 246 – Driving Electro 9 – Fast

Nuggets 246 - Driving Electro 9
This mix is inspired by the recent Italians Do It Better mix, After Dark 2. It’s got a cool European electro sound with excellent female vocals and disco’y beats. I added some tunes of my own to a selection of the After Dark 2 tunes.

There are 4 tracks here from AD2 along with tracks from Psychic Ills (think Moon Duo but better), Jesse Ruins, Daughn Gibson and the wonderfully named Emergency Bible Study with their song “Robbert Zimmerman Practices Guitar in Front of the Mirror”, and others

This mix is a current favourite when on the road.

Not all the tracks are up yet. When I have time I will add some more videos.

I just found out that Anika is playing in Auckland on Friday 11 October. Yeah
