Bill Shakes 24 – H-edit

Posted on by

Another DJ mix for the finca am radio show on Ibiza Global Radio and a small tribute to the re-edit format which often receives a lot of unfair schtick in my humble…  If it’s tastefully done then it’s fine by my me, Everything is a Remix after all…  This particular mix is laden with popular artists twisted by the edit but in keeping with the dreamy finca am vibe.x

Bill Shakes 23 – Lantern

Here’s the talk-free version of my monthly Finca am  radio show on Ibiza Global Radio.  An emotive electronic journey as per finca normal with some genre erratic curve balls thrown in, hopefully keeping things evolving and fresh.

I saw the lantern pic on a BBC Financial News article (yawn) but it sits perfectly with the magical finca am vibe…  

Thanks to all the Finca am crew especially Benny & Arian for a great summer of beats on the beach and feet in the sand, I’m looking forward to the winter Ibiza shenanigans!

Bill Shakes 22 – Faced

Faced is a post Ibiza trip mix for the FYB collective and was thrown together in a more spontaneous lottery like way than my normal studio mix method. The selection is drawn from the recent FYB Boompt! party plus some summer titbits and deeper tracks to represent this weeks sailing into heavy winds in the face of balearic mood swings.  Why does excessive fun have such a big payback price?

Frank is the new talk-free version of my monthly mix for the Finca am radio show on Ibiza Global Radio.  This month I slip slightly adrift (though not too far in all honesty) from the previous two mixes Green Goose and Moon of Mongo so as to allow space for a few different styles as I’m beginning to hypnotise myself with dreamalerica.

Bill Shakes 20 – Wrench 4

Bill’s back for another Wrenching session.  The fourth Wrench is, as always a step away from the dance floor including some new bands combined with some old atmospheric glue.  This mix may not be to everyone’s palate with its smattering of schmaltzy american acoustic and tripped out ambient but the point of the Wrench series is to provoke some kind of emotional response, ideally a ‘wrench’ and not a ‘wretch’ ;)
