This all started when I wandered into Landspeed Records, my local purveyor of vinyl, eclectic CDs and clubber wear. Trying to look like I actually belonged in there and was some true vinyl-mixing DJ that they'd just never seen before, I casually put on the headphones at the listening deck and flip through their collection of new releases. One catches my eye - it's a single-sided white label only identified as "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush vs Infusion.
Now, I know Infusion are an Australian band, and, as you may have guessed from the index page and the Antipodean mixes, I like to collect Australian dance music. I put this on, and it sounds pretty nice. Money changes hands. I walk out with the first piece of vinyl in my collection of otherwise almost totally CD dominated music*. Not the last, though...
So I just had to start a mix with this track. And I wanted to make another 'club mix', since the previous had been so popular. It sort of has to be the 2004 mix, but it's being finished up now midway through March 2005. Most of this just fell together - I love the way tracks that I've had for a long time (Break Away) fade perfectly into tracks I've picked up quite recently (Amber). I suppose this is another reason why the '2004' name doesn't really fit - it's not exactly all tracks that I've just picked up in the last year. Still, here it is. Enjoy.
[*] : Except for beXta's first 'album' beXtaism, on tape.
The entire mix can be downloaded in 160kbit or 80kbit average bit rate quality. You can choose either the BitTorrent versions of these high and low quality mixes. See the front page for details, but direct access to the MP3 files has been taken down due to leeching.

These mixes are only available as complete files and I do not trade in the albums that these tracks are compiled from. On the other hand, I welcome feedback of any description about the mix, especially if you have recommendations of tracks I might like. My email address is at the bottom of the page.
I welcome any suggestions, criticisms and recommendations for new music to listen to. I will consider doing specific mixes for people, but this is only a hobby. Hope to hear from you!
