    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 #45 : Birds

    by 5:4 May 1, 2018 • 11:26
    May 1, 2018 • 11:26

    At the start of May each year, i always find myself thinking about birds, as the first Sunday of the month is marked globally as International Dawn Chorus Day, something i celebrated in a podcast back in 2010. So the theme for this month’s mixtape is of an avian persuasion…

    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…

    Mixtape #34 : Summer

    by 5:4 July 1, 2015 • 09:35
    July 1, 2015 • 09:35

    As the UK seems to be going through a never-ending heatwave at the moment, it seems entirely appropriate to devote the new 5:4 mixtape to music connected (at least in name) with the summer. Interestingly, this was a little harder to put together than the autumn mix from nine months…

    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…

    Mixtape #15 : Late Night

    by 5:4 March 27, 2010 • 20:52
    March 27, 2010 • 20:52

    It’s been a while since the last mixtape, and i’ve decided to return to the theme of the the first two mixes, music particularly suitable for late night listening. Steve Peters‘ work is always fascinating, and his field recording project Here-ings is a masterpiece. i wrote about it at length…
