MrVanDigital Mix Collection

Soul/Funk/Downtempo.   This first episode MixCast contains some 70s chic funk and soul. The likes of which 4 Hero are constantly championing. And rightly so. Nancy Wilson’s ‘Sunshine’ and Sly Stone’s ‘U Caught Me Smiling’ are real beauties. Also, che...

Indie/Deep House/Techno.   After a few year hiatus from mixing, it was a Facebook posting by my old uni buddy, Jez Gibson of Jody Wisternoff’s ‘Intensified December’ Soundcloud mix that got me back listening to and thinking about tunes again like a D...

Dubstep.   Well, I just couldn’t resist. I’ve been putting together a fine collection of dubstep floorfillers for a while now and decided it was time to put a best of mix together. This is my first attempt at dubstep mixing and it was a lot of fun. T...

Ambient DnB/Drum N Bass/Rolling/Dub.   Here comes another mix from a different direction. I started listening to High Contrast recently as well as the Hospital podcasts and caught the bug of drum n bass. I searched through a few albums and put togeth...

Indie/House/Techno.   Here’s a mix bursting with juicy little numbers. It starts off quite indie alternative with the great tune ‘Tighten Up’ by the Black Keys and going through the quirky soundtrack of ‘Drive Away’. Eventually, the robots start to m...

Ambient/Indie/Rock/Hip Hop/House.   Another paradigm shift to bring me into line with today’s DJ climate: I’ve added my MacBook Pro to my Deejay setup and started using software to mix tracks along with my hardware. After a month of playing around an...

Techno/House/Tech-House.   The best Jacko Mix so far? This is a real pearler: tech-house sounds with some tracks of a distinctive old school flavour. The mix was recorded and tweaked using a MBP with Serato Itch and a Novation Twitch.   Into The Nigh...

Classical/Dubstep/Indie/Chilled/Breaks/Ambient.   Some varied alternative tracks with breaks and dnb thrown in. Done on a Novation Twitch with Serato Itch. Wicked fun!   Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On A Theme Of Thomas Tallis, In The Way - Nero, The W...

Progressive/Techno/Indie/House.   This month's Influence mix is kinda like Jody Wisternoff and Jamie Jones having an argument over what music to play on the decks... And I love it... I must thank those two for exposing me to such fine tracks. After t...

Progressive/Techno/Indie/House.   A 90 minute mix with big shouts to the main influences for this mix: Phonique, Marc Romboy, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Jamie Jones. Put together using a Traktor Kontrol S4.   Stay High Baby - Maceo Plex, ...
