    Mixtape #50 : Remix

    by 5:4 October 7, 2018 • 16:50
    October 7, 2018 • 16:50

    The new 5:4 mixtape is a celebration of the art of the remix. However, i should stress immediately that the emphasis here is not simply on that word’s implied legacy of beats and dance-based forms of music. The scope for this particular mixtape is altogether more broad and open-minded, exploring …

    Mixtape #46 : Body

    by 5:4 June 2, 2018 • 09:38
    June 2, 2018 • 09:38

    For the new 5:4 mixtape, i’ve turned to that which is closest to us all: the human body. Not a particularly promising theme, you might think, but once i began digging through my music library the sheer quantity of body references quickly became overwhelming (take your pick whether that says …

    Mixtape #16 : Vox Masculus (In Memoriam Ian Curtis)

    by 5:4 May 18, 2010 • 07:34
    May 18, 2010 • 07:34

    Thirty years ago, Ian Curtis, lead singer and prime mover of Joy Division throughout its short-lived existence, took his own life. i can’t and won’t claim to have known anything about this at the time (being a mere six years old, my own musical journey had barely begun, let alone …

    2007: memories and echoes; 2008: first sounds

    by 5:4 January 1, 2008 • 18:08
    January 1, 2008 • 18:08

    There were many, many musical highlights in 2007, but a lot of disappointments too, which i guess is unavoidable, considering the amount of music i listen to throughout the year.
