A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud-linked submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of February 2022.
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
FANDCAMP: Tri Magi
“When you throw a cellist who can perfectly present classical, jazz and hip hop music with equal dexterity and a saxophonist who magnificently murders the instrument with an unspeakably cool and funky overseer, what do you get? This!”
20 from '02 | THE HI54 YEARBOOK MIXES
The ‘HI54 YEARBOOK MIXES’ series continues with a mix from the year 2002 — featuring tunes from The Bees, Broken Social Scene, J-Live, Rilo Kiley + a whole bunch more… it’s a nice ‘02 vintage to stick in your headphones.
FROM THE SUBMITHUB ARCHIVES | #HI54MIXCDS
It's not all broken hearts and rejections over on SubmitHub. For example, here's an ongoing collection of all the songs that have made it past the HI54 submission firewall and over onto the blog.
HI:54 / LO:5 — Over the Garden Wall
“I sent my nieces Over The Garden Wall as a "sorry covid prevented us from bringing bday presents, but we're not mailing all these books" gesture—not sure if they watched it yet, but I did, and it's fun and charming & now I can't stop saying "ain't that just the way" all the time.”
THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs | DISC 32
Here's the 32nd instalment of the (mostly) 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 MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW ARCHIVE | #HI54MIXCDS
This playlist is an ongoing collection of all the songs that have ever been featured on an episode of The Mix Tape Radio Show. Well, all the songs available on Spotify, which is not quite all of them, but is still a heck of a lot of nice songs to throw on shuffle whenever the mood strikes.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ÜUCE & ARTTU SILVAST
“I think I'm speaking to myself more than everyone else, but stop worrying. Control the things that you can, but don't let the world get you down. There's still hope, and it's important to hold on to that hope.”
FANDCAMP: Rainforest
“Honestly so refreshing to have an artist that reflects reality and inequalities due to capitalism. While continuing to use her platform to educate and for calls to action.”
CENTRAL EUROPE RADIO | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
An ongoing mix of artists from Central Europe (which I'm classifying as Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Switzerland - not because it is 100% accurate geographically, but because it makes sense with some other regional playlists I have going).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CE QUI NOUS TRAVERSE
“Listening, reading, looking at stuff, even when it’s not related to your practice/your approach, is crucial in nourishing a singular creative process. We are largely made of the relations and the inclinations that have moved us in the course of our trajectory, so better be open and constantly search for great connections.”
