Round 6 mix from aughhhhSooEAAARLY
aughhhhSooEAAARLY was kind enough to mail my mix from Canada, contrary to their name the mix arrived before the deadline which is mighty impressive considering it travelled across the Atlantic.
- Gotye. Really nice! Different to the Gotye I've got but cool.
- Quite downtempo, enjoyable reminded me of Damien Rice a bit.
- Cool dancey song, enjoyed it lots, the male vocals are lovely.
- Another cool and catchy dance song, did they really build a time machine in Tokyo? I wasn't aware!
- Brilliant mashup, highlight of the album so far!
- Danceydance continues, I'm sure this has been on the radiowaves recently, very catchy and lovely.
- Another really cool one, when the chorus came in I was like <3
- Cool dance song
- More downtempo live track, really enjoyed this one and a nice break from all the beat-based stuff
- Bringing it back up but still relatively downtempo, another cool mashup, mucho likings
- I love Kings of Convenience! One of my favourite bands :)
- Nice tune but fairly passable
- Nice band name, loving the trumpets and vocals in it
- Completely different to the above track, acousticy and laid back, really enjoyable.
- My favourite track from the mix, just a nice electronic instrumental. Plus cats are the best.
- Danceydance coolness, it's enjoyable but doesn't make a real impression - especially after Shooting Stars :p
- Laid back electronica with smooth female vocals, this is the kind of stuff I love
- Nice ending, mesmerising ryhming although quite a sudden end for a mix but a cool song nevertheless.
Furthermore, I had no idea they had Staples in Canada, it surprised and delighted me!
A lot of these thoughts have been fairly generic but I've honestly enjoyed it all, kudos and thank you very much :) I hope your match graced you with an equally great mix!

Glad you liked it :D
I had a hard time finding that fine line between obscure enough that they might not have heard it, and quality. I know my fellow mixers like to hear new stuff, so hopefully there was enough you hadn't heard to at least keep you amused. I also tried my best to include some hip-hop for ya, but I just don't have that much!
PS. If you liked the Hidden Cat Cover of Shooting Stars...be SURE to check out the Original Version by Bag Raiders.
PPS. I am both elated and saddened that you had already heard of Gotye. I always thought he was one my secret find, but I am glad you already have some and (i'm guessing) like it.
PPPS. I guess you kinda got the vibe that I like dancey-electro... hope it wasn't overload
