This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in MIXES
Here is my annual ‘20X Current Year’ feature— which features 400 great tracks from 400 different releases, all from the year 2020. Because 20 x 20 = 400 and I am a crazy music blog person.
Since the week between Christmas and New Years Eve kinda feels like days that don't actually exist, and because I'm currently knee-deep in trying to wrap-up my End Of Year posts for later this week, I figured I would post one more "lost episode" from back in the day when I was making mixes for Folk Radio UK… So here’s EPS 026 from DEC 2013.
Even though I am a rubbish whistler, I still tend to whistle songs every now and again (especially when walking up and down stairs for some reason). Now I know that whistling is pretty annoying to everyone except the person whistling, but F everyone else, right?
Since this Thursday is Christmas Eve, I figured I’d take a one-week hiatus from posting a new mix tapes and instead post another "lost episode" from back in the day when I was making mixes for Folk Radio UK and for a 13 episode stretch mixes were posted on the FRUK Mixcloud instead of on mine. So here’s EPS 025 from NOV 2013.

I’ve got HI54 ‘decade playlists’ going all the way back to the 1950s, but this 2010s mix is the first one where I actually had some kind of a music blog going for every year in the decade. Which means there’s a whole lot of tracks to choose from whenever I update what’s currently in the 95 track shuffle. -> OPEN ON SPOTIFY
Every second Monday, I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup back when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station and create an 18-track HI54 Mix CD out of my 'Mix Tape Radio approved' library. These are all the tracks featured so far.
