Remember we told you about Blondes from NYC a while ago? And remember how fucking good the MP3 we gave away was? Yeah, well you should. We like the band so much we got in touch and asked them to make us a mixtape, and, like the gracious beat bastards I’m assuming they are, they agreed. And it’s really good.

A Fist in the Face of God - Fenriz presents… Trapped Under Vice Vol. II
Following the success of the first in the Trapped Under Vice mix series by resident Fist in the Face of God mix-maker Fenriz back in July, we have the highly anticipated second installment of the series, imaginatively titled Trapped Under Vice Vol. II.

Rose Quartz - Hype Williams ‘mixtape’
Ever had one of those dreams where you’re grinding your teeth and they’re falling out and coming loose? I had this shitty one once where there was dental floss stitched into the roof of my mouth and around my teeth. Totally gross yeah, but I’m not sure if it tops the one that Karen from London weirdos Hype Williams had last Thursday.
Spider and the Flies mix, pt.1 - ‘Up’
A while back Tom Furse and Rhys Webb spent a six-month sabbatical from The Horrors completing Spider and the Flies’ staggering dreadnought of a debut album. It was a crushing prolapse of influences and innovations and it rocked. As these two are the biggest record freaks we’ve ever met we asked them to record us a couple of mixes for us, being the cool guys they are, they said yes.
