It's Friday...

...time for a new free mix! And on Friday the 13th too! Ominous!

This week's mix is titled "Girls vs. Boys", featuring female vocals vs. male vocals, or female singer vs. male producer, or smooth, sexy jazz styles vs. darker, more aggressive beats. Didn't really plan it this way, but that's how it turned out in the end. :) This is a drum 'n bass affair, with tracks and remixes old and new from Ben Westbeech, Jenna G, Culture Shock, The Qemists, Makai and more. Special note for the anime fans: make sure you check the last track...

(Full disclaimer: the scratching performance was done in a few takes. I'm a bit out of practice, and scratching to drum 'n bass is *hard*, so I did a few passes at it and selected the best one.)

I'm not really a drum 'n bass guy. I mean I love the stuff, when it's good; love the energy and speed and punchiness, but I tend to swoop in every once in awhile, grab a handful of what I think are the best tracks, and then disappear for a few months.

That's why I have to give props to my man Shazbot (Ryan Reynolds) for being a prime source of "the best tracks" in drum 'n bass. I've yoinked more than a few tracks from his sets in the past (including at least one track in this mix) so if you think THIS mix is good, then you should go to the source. :)

For more of his music (dj mixes, remixes and original productions) you can find him at the following:

You can still get last week's club/electro-ish house mix here, but only until Saturday night, so get a move on if you haven't already!!

I'm still fundraising for Univox Choir and growin' my Mo for Movember, so if you like chorale music and got a spare $5, help Univox keeping doing what it's doing for choir music in Toronto here:

and if you like men (and who doesn't?) and mustaches (ditto) then help me raise money for prostate cancer research and awareness for men's health issues here:
