From time to time, people still ask us why we don’t do CD mixes any more.
Mainly because hardly anybody listens to CDs any more. Which is why we’re gradually converting our most popular mixes into files you can stream or download.

AMERICANA
Country Blues (Self-explanatory, with a few exceptions to the rule.)
Heartland Revisited (Americana Made Great. #2 in the Heartland series.)
Cowabunga (Ultra-groovy Alt-Country & Folk. With some exceptions.)
What’s Your Hurry? (Soulful, mostly–twangin’ tunes, all played at a snail’s pace.)
Places In The Heart (Roots music gems from deep inside the Soul mine.)
Heartland 2017 – Let’s Twist Again (Americana Made Great Again. #3 in the Heartland series.)
Swamp Thing (Yep, it’s swampy.)
HIPSTER RETRO
Tsunami Lounge (The original, and still arguably the best, in the 7-part series — which all started with Andy Williams’ “Music To Watch Girls By.”)
Slinky Pop (with a twist) (The epic final chapter, #7, in the Tsunami Lounge series — this one built around the sultry style of Burt Bacharach.)
Nehru Beach (The sequel to Tsunami Lounge. California surf-cool with a dash of Swinging London.)
Watusi Island (Mix #3 in the series, with distinctly tropical flavorings.)
Baja Boogaloo (Part Six in the Tsunami Lounge series, with shades of a Dance Party vibe.)
Soul Martini (Part Five in the Tsunami Lounge series. Shaken, not stirred.)
BRUNCH & MIMOSAS
Ice Cream Social (Music from, perhaps, the bandstand of a 1920’s seaside resort. Or a Downton Abbey lawn party.)
Ice Cream Social 2 (The delightfully insouciant sequel)
SOUL | R&B | FUNK
Smoove B – Get Busy (70s Funk megamix.)
Race Music (Killer Soul + R&B from the 50s and 60s.)
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL (mostly)
Pub Rock (Mostly British late–70’s / early–80’s roots r’n’r.)
Grunts, Groans & Guitars (It’s a Guy Thing.)
It Came From The Garage (New Wave + Punk from 1966 to 1984.)
ALT COUNTRY (mostly)
Cowabunga (Hipster Alt Country & Folk.)
Get Me A Beer, Darlin’ (Hawnky Tawnk for manly men.)
Beach Country (Country with a dash of beachy pop.)
NO-APOLOGY FEEL-GOOD MIXES
Sounds Good To Me #13 (New & old material. Catchy tunes. And, above all, great-feeling records.)
Sounds Good To Me #16 (Same formula as above.)
Sounds Good To Me #18 (Same formula as above.)
Sounds Good To Me #17 (Same formula as above.)
CONCEPT MIXES | UPBEAT
Girls Girls Girls (It started-out as a Girl Group thing, but somewhere it just went off the rails.)
City At Night (Spooky, funky, occasionally synthy. Downtown After Dark driving music. Inspired by the Beck tune “Scarecrow” — which sounds a lot like the Doors’ “LA Woman,” which includes the lyric, “City at night.” Now you know.)
CONCEPT MIXES | COOL AND/OR SPOOKY
Maintain Low Tones (A multi-genre coolish vibe.)
Voodoo Pop (Play after dark. During a full moon. Preferably in or near a swamp.)
MIXED BAG | WILDLY ERRATIC
Spontaneous Compression 5 (From breezy pop and soulful folk to nasty funk. And most points in between. Largely created, as the title indicates, spontaneously, this one features quite a number of unlikely juxtapositions and — hopefully — happy surprises.)
WORLD BEAT | JAM
Concrete Jungle Boogie (Beat-heavy music from all over the globe.)
Dreadful Sounds (Roots reggae. Mostly.)
Twirl & Skank (Reggae / Hippie music mashup.)
Time Warped! (Beat-centric music, mostly from the early–80’s.)
Rhythm Air Guitar (Light-ish, Rhythmic-ish, Jam-my.)
OLDIES (mostly)
The Power Of Cheese (32 AM Radio classics from the early & mid 60s.)
Don’t Touch Me There (Soulful folk meets schmaltzy 70’s.)
Don’t Touch Me There, Vol. 2 (The 1970’s: from the sublime to the appalling.)
