Another Winter Playlist

It took a little longer to bring you a new mixtape, but we have made it just in time for tonight’s Boxing Day diner. The weather has been very mild so far, but these tunes which have a tendency to be more on the electronic side, will support you through the coldest months of the year. The list starts with one of our favorite releases of the year by Jon Hopkins, followed by Erik Satie and Klara Kormendi and the beautiful ‘Oh No’ by Röyksopp. From Blue Lagoon‘s soundtrack Mikael Simpon’s ‘Slaar Skaar’ from 2009 is followed by Nosaj Thing and the new song by former psychedelic J-rock group Yura Yura Teikoku’s lead singer Shintaro Sakamoto named ‘Birth of the Super Cult’. The list continues with releases by Jamie XX, Flying Lotus, alt-J, Marie Fisker, Young Fathers, Dark Sky and the incredible remix of Jon Hopkins’ ‘We Dissapear’ featuring Lulu James, which we also included on the Summer Playlist. Another favorite release of this year follows; David August’s revision of his Dynamic colleagues Kollektiv Turmstrasse’s ‘Last Day’ and of the great Aphex Twin comeback album Syro ‘aisatsana [102]’, before which releases by Samaris, Jamie T and Daniel Johnston have passed. We conclude our final mixtape of 2014 with another gem which was released last October: Tindersticks’ ‘Ananas et poivre’ of their Ypres album. Enjoy our favorite Winter Tunes here.
