POLLE VAN DE GASH - IT'S A GASH GASH GASH GASH WORLD

I was having a rummage around Lupin House yesterday whilst Alex G was getting his techno mix (see below) ready, I found the a copy of 'It's A Gash Gash Gash Gash World'. Trouble is with all my old home made CDs is that I would always put a nice printed CD sticker on the disc. A lot of CD players, especially computers, get really arsey about it and refuse to go further that about a third of the way into the disc before giving up. So, I stuck the disc in the computer and it worked it's way through to the end without a care in the world. Bless. This joyous news means I can share it with you now. 33 tracks over 74 minutes covering electronics, psychedelia, library, spoken word, pop, avant-rock and more.

ALEX G - A QUESTION OF RE-ENTRY - TECHNO MIX

A bit of a change of scene for this post. Amateur Athlete Alex G delivers a sterling 47 minute techno mix selecting classics and personal favourites from the 90s. When I say techno, obviously I mean proper techno. There's no tracklisting as such - Alex was too busy at the time to make a note and now it just doesn't seem necessary. Once you get listening though, expect to find some Carl Craig, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir and Mark Bell (as both LFO and his lesser known Detroit style alias Clark). Expect a follow up mix soon(ish) people!

POLLE VAN DE GASH - CREPUSCULAR MIX APRIL 08

It's been a long time but finally there's a new post. Not that anyone will have noticed. None of this changes the glorious news that I've popped out another springtime mix which, naturally, was destined to end up on here. Loosely speaking, it's a synth/electronics [though not entirely] thing. Mostly 70s/80s but with a splash of 21st Century action for good measure. There's some sublime and a touch of ridiculous too. Obviously, I like it. Give it a sniff and see what you think!

Everybody needs at least one storming surf-rock mix in their collection - surely!
So here you go then. This one's a killer. Lovingly created a few years ago as a professionally produced CD-R by three London based surf music fiends, it's a superb, action-packed, mash up of surfin' rock 'n' roll singles and soundtracks.

POLLE VAN DE GASH - AA MOVIE MIX

Another Polle Van De Gash mix. This one was produced to celebrate the Halloween Amateur Athletics event, 31st October 2007. The night itself was a launch party for the Trunk Records release of the fabulous 'Blood On Satan's Claw' soundtrack. If you don't know the film or the soundtrack then I would strongly recommend checking either/both out.

The mix is in six parts.There's no tracklist for this mix. As well as plenty of dark and horror tracks there's plenty of gentle flighty moments too. Enjoy!
