As ever … Medium being the snitches they are … if I link to these, they’ll disappear from the ’tube before I’ve even pressed [Publish], so, you’ll have to type https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= into your browser and then paste the following after it to listen to each of the tracks

… but that’s your lot: they’re part of a larger set I’m working on as a mix … the first I’ll’ve recorded since 2012 ¹ … and I might release it later, so I’m keeping it under my hat for now and not giving away all my secrets — this is just a taster from somewhere within it.

¹ I hate doing them: they take all the spontaneity out of the process and I end up doing them over and over and over because I was one beat out on the last mix in the first take, didn’t tweak the EQ perfectly on the sixth mix in the second, got overly precious on the third and spent a day perfecting my mix points, squeezing the life out of the process, got overly paranoid on the fourth and, instead of doing tricks, just stood there twiddling my thumbs waiting for the tracks to end so I can mix the next one in and get the damn thing done at last … after which I hate every track I used and never wanna hear them again — I hate it.
Fortunately, I’m sufficiently well known not to need to, so, I haven’t done in years. But I’ve got some tracks that I never hear any more because I don’t play them out any more and I feel like doing a private mix, so that I can hear them whenever I like without having to dig out individual tracks … or create an unmixed playlist — playlists are crap in bed: there’s nothing worse than a blind fadeout/fadein that doesn’t account for the tracks’ tempo, groove, mood, tone and just slams them together (no seduction, no foreplay, just wham, bang, thankyou Ma’am, sorry about the mess).
