    Mixtape #64 : War

    by 5:4 April 1, 2022 • 10:21
    April 1, 2022 • 10:21

    For the spring 5:4 mixtape the theme has felt tragically unavoidable. i’ve opted to approach the subject of war partly in a generalised way, but it would have been disingenuous not to reflect the specifics of what Ukraine is currently being subjected to by Russia. The mix therefore opens with…

    Mixtape #61 : Gold

    by 5:4 July 1, 2021 • 07:12
    July 1, 2021 • 07:12

    When i first started putting together the new 5:4 mixtape, my intention – inspired by the sunshine of summer – was to focus on the colour yellow. However, i also allowed gold and orange onto the shortlist as well, and in the end, completely by chance, gold has almost completely…

    The Isolation Mixtapes : G

    by 5:4 May 18, 2020 • 09:16
    May 18, 2020 • 09:16

    And the beat lockdown goes on, so here’s a new Isolation Mixtape, exploring some of the very best sounds from the years 2010–19, focusing on artists, composers and groups beginning with the letter G. As always, none of the tracks have been featured in any previous 5:4 mixtapes, and once…

    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 #43 : International Women’s Day

    by 5:4 March 8, 2018 • 00:00
    March 8, 2018 • 00:00

    As today is International Women’s Day, for my March mixtape i’ve allowed myself to indulge in a celebration of fabulous music by women composers and musicians. Compared to most of my mixtapes, this was one of the more difficult to create, for two reasons. First, because the shortlist of music…

    Mixtape #40 : Miniatures

    by 5:4 October 1, 2017 • 11:13
    October 1, 2017 • 11:13

    Even more than is usually the case, the new 5:4 Mixtape is a pure stream of consciousness. i’ve returned to a theme i explored in one of the earliest mixtapes, miniatures, once again setting myself a limit of music lasting under two minutes. With a shortlist of 100+ tracks (each…
