I’m leaving Rovaniemi for the summer and I have to leave my turntables here so I wanted to do a little mixtape with some funky and sweaty tunes that would get me on that summer vibe.

Unfortunately, I kind of messed this up, as usual. I don’t have a proper sound card for my iBook and I had to use an iMic I borrowed, so there’s some really horrible sounding noise in some parts of the recording. Latency issues or something. On top of that, the mixes are not that good. I don’t seem to be able to stay on beat anymore. Really annoying.

Anyway, download here. Beware of bad mixing and f*d up sound. There’s at least three times when the audio starts clipping. First time occurs around 7:30. Sorry about that.

Track list:

  • Wicked Lester - Honey (Dr. Rubberfunk Remix)
  • Yam Who - Here We Go (Stray Remix)
  • Zeb - Afro Disco
  • Flamongo Sanomat - Dillinger
  • Little Big Bee - Calypso Blues
  • Sabo&Zeb feat. Nappy G - Beat Pharmacy Remix
  • Zeb - Al Karina
  • Beatfanatic - ?
  • Minnie Ripperton - Loving You (K2 edit)
  • Turelli - Mekano

To get the most out of this mixtape, listen to it close to someone important to you by a lake in the Finnish nightless night. I actually recorded this mixtape during the only time that the sun is below the horizon here in Rovaniemi. That’s around 1AM - 2 AM.
