“Submithub is like my ears Firewall, so once a track I like gets past that, it ends up in my regular rotations— because what’s the point of finding stuff you like if all you do is just keep looking for more stuff?”
THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs | DISC 28
Here's the 28th instalment of the bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 95-tracks that have been rated as 'Mix Tape Radio approved' and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
THE HI54 HOT 95, EH | >1 MILLION MONTHLY LISTENERS
I started playing around with sorting my Spotify ‘liked’ music by monthly listener counts, and since I’ve accumulated + continue to accumulate a lot of ‘liked’ music, I thought it might be interesting to keep ongoing 95-track playlists for certain listener thresholds. This one is for those with more than 1 million monthly listeners.

ARCHIVES | IT ALL BEGAN WITH A BURST - MAR2012
In an attempt to free up some headspace for other work during these last couple weeks of October, I’ll be taking a break from creating new Mixcloud mixes EVERY Thursday and instead will be sharing some old mixes that were posted to Mixcloud before HI54.BLOG even existed. This one goes back to March 2012 :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PAUL BIDAULT

FANDCAMP: Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology
“September 30th, 2021, was Canada's first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. October 1st, 2021, is another Bandcamp Friday. This seems like a sign to go buy/listen to some Indigenous music, eh? For example, do you have this great Willie Dunn collection in your collection?”
