MP3: Faux Pas – Emotions Mixtape

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

really happy with how this mix turned out. its manic but it reflects a lot of the music that i’ve been into in the last 12 months, and its probably a decent indicator of what the new album sounds like. its named emotions due to my obsession with a song by roger troutman that didn’t actually make it into the mix – you can find out more about that song at arawa.fm, a constant source of unlikely inspiration.

speaking of blogs, big thanks to two of my favourites for posting this mix – silence is a rhythm too, and iso50 (who also supplied the cover art). feel free to repost it on your blog, myspace, twitter etc, if you do please let me know. love spreading the love.

if you’re keen, links to a couple of older mixes are below. of course, you can hear my selections in a more radio style every sunday night, my friend dave and i broadcast weekly over the 3rrr airwaves in melbourne, also streaming across the web. plenty more info about that at our blog .

Hey Tim,
thanks for posting the “Emotions” mixtape. This one is a real grower – heaps of tracks I like *right now* as well as some gems I have totally missed, but that were burned into my subconscious – Zoolook ffs! Some great blends. If you can crank this out, you’ll be doing live shows no worries once the new album drops and you need to promo the pants off it (jokes!).

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
