This mix brings back sweet memories of highschool - backpacks, MD players, big headphones, hip hop and the rest. I reckon I listened to this mix almost every day for a year straight. Props to Dave for the much played minidisc back then.
Completely forgot about it till a chance encounter with it at randoms Golden Plains campsite last year. Been trying to track it down since then.
Promo mix released by The Avalanches in 2000 to combat the bootlegs of their unfinished album (Since I Left You) that were circulating around.
Check out the tracklist (in the comments) to see how many classics they drop, that are still dropped - stool pigeon, love will bring us together, i got my mind made up.
On a 2ManyDJ's tip ten years early, quick mixes, unlikely classic tracks dropped in and out, recurring samples and basslines, the constant 'saturday' refrain, 'girls just wanna have fun' and the smiths, all mashed together.
Click on the MD for the mix.
