Here's one I prepared earlier...

I originally put this mixtape together for Brownswood back in 2003 and about 10 copies were handed out at FYE 7 if memory serves.

I was recently asked to make it available digitally - so here it is more or less as it appeared on C90.

the BIG swing

well, i for one welcome this mix with open ears.

was listening to "monocle rit jaune" only yesterday, CHOOOOOOON as some might say.

this mix looks really nicely sequenced, some great off-centre selections.

jolly good, sir, jolly good.

Nice one Weeg.
Looks amazing as always.
Will get on the download now and try and fit it in the weekend.

Respect bro

Glad i still have my copy!! haha

Cheer [again] Weeg. Big Mix (i remember raving it about on the old bbc board at the time).

Respect!

Collectors item that Dayo, especially as I've left a couple of tracks out on this downloadable version.

hahah nice one Weeg.

DREAD TUNE! simple

: )

Not sure but I think this one includes Shahib Shahab if memory serves me right!



Going to have a listen to this later.....thanks Weeg!

It does indeed feature Sahib Shihab!

and you thought my list of records i didn't play was funny. Fully commended on a brownswood edit of a previous mix... Now I have to add the missing tracks to my wants list, proper rare...

No secret squirrels here Jarred.

Left 2 tracks out because one has now already appeared on my "voices" mix (unlit room - irene kral & dave remington) - you have that one now I'm guessing... the other track was a CDr thing not for sharing on t'internet.

Only just got round to listening to this.

Superb mix.

maximus respectus

Glad to hear you enjoyed it James.

I loved this mix….now “reissued” in electronic format and made available to the masses!!! Weegee is probably one of my favourite mixtape compliers. He definitely has his own particular way of putting a mix together, sort of bossa meets soundtracks meets jazz. There’s always a nice variety of stuff but never at the expense of the flow. Even if I hadn’t known the identity of the complier when listening...I reckon I could have identified it as weeg’s work pretty quickly. I enjoyed this one as I have done all the others.

Nice work sir!
