Bill Shakes 17 – Freeca

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Bill Shakes

‘Freeca’ is the latest finca am radio show mix for Ibiza Global Radio although here on my blog I will always post the ‘talk free’ version (you can find the radio version on the finca am mixcloud page).

I’ve really started to enjoy programming these radio shows as although there is a ‘balearic’ framework based around the finca am sound, I also get the opportunity to explore some of the more left of center musical cubby holes that I wouldn’t normally do in a more linear club set.

Bill Shakes 16 – Ruffled Wake

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Bill Shakes

With the FYB presents Boompt! Ibiza parties just around the corner I’ve been listening to a lot of new music lately and have various DJ mixes doing the rounds for Finca am and FYB. Ruffled Wake was constructed with the emotive electronic in mind and follows a similar vein to the last (non radio) mix Flassy perhaps gently veering right towards the lighter deep…

Momentarily it seems I’m unable to do a mix that doesn’t feature a track/remix from the mighty Soul Clap (check their website, it’s super slick), I do hope they don’t burn out or lose the soul from over exposure as I adore their output.
