This Monday’s mix is vast. Instead of 1Xtra’s usual 60 tracks in 60 minutes, last week Crissy Criss conspired to cram in the same amount of tunes in just half the time. The finished product feels a little furious, but it’s massive nonetheless. Unsurprisingly, it comprises a huge list of tunes from a host of different artists including Alix Perez, Dillinja, Noisia, Jaydan, Heist, Taxman and countless others. Of course, this lengthy catalogue means there is a jump up angle in there for everybody. I think the whole thing is pretty huge, Crissy Criss is a sick DJ.
The file below is the full 1xtra show but if you want to skip to the mix, it starts almost exactly an hour in. A full tracklisting is available on the BBC 1Xtra site.
Crissy Criss – 04/02/2010
On another note, I think Crissy Criss looks a bit like Piccolo from Dragonball Z in his photo on the 1Xtra website…seriously.
Having made the BBC’s longlist for the Sound of 2010, alongside the masterful talents of Giggs, Stornoway and a few others, I decided Gold Panda was a producer I should probably sit up and wrap my ears around. Thankfully, he’s a bit of a genius and I have managed to spend the last couple of hours infatuated by his gorgeous aural treats. Analogue degradation folded into minimal electronica gives his music an insular and comforting quality reminiscent of wrapping yourself up in a duvet on a Winter morning. His three track release, Miyamae EP, is a short but exquisite journey into this soft opulence that will stop your hands shaking and make that hard wooden stool feel like a cotton wool throne.
I don’t like to tip things for success because it makes me feel like I’ve failed if I’m wrong, but I’d just like to state that if the world has any sense, Gold Panda will have a sick start to the next decade. If he flops, fuck it, I’ll claim I tipped somebody else. Video after the jump.
