Plastic City is teaming up with Apple to offer an 512 MB iPod Shuffle preloaded with 35 tracks from the label.

Nice idea, although I wouldn’t personally buy it. Now, if they had a regular iPod with the entire Plastic City back catalogue, or maybe stuff from the entire UCMG New York or UCMG Germany label conglomerates, I’d be all over that.

felt like streaming and mixing some of the new records i’d picked up over the last month. i can never find a good track to mix out of the mataya one, so i bailed and started over.

mix 1 starts with some laid-back electro, moves into microhouse and light tech-house territory, then goes into some heavier, glitchier stuff. the mix of the last 3 tracks was shamelessly lifted from mr. c’s classic 2002 essential mix.

mix 2 is tech-house of the darker, deeper variety, with some basic channel stuff and aril brikha thrown in for good measure. ends on a floatier, housey note.

mix 1:

mesak - tufnu (klakson)
johan skugge - kyrkogaard (mitek)
subsound - electrobot (affected)
zvukbroda - kse zo (listen to reason)
omni a.m. & casey hogan - in my time of flying (euphoria)
le dust sucker - keine bewegung berlin (styles kickin’)
steve bug & richie hawtin - low blow (minus)
mataya - new game (listen to reason)

mix 2:

blue mar ten - numbers (deep structure)
second hand satellites - orbit 1.4 (hallucination)
maurizio - m5 (maurizio)
round four - find a way (vocal mix) (main street)
sanasol vs. ozzy - seveneleven (ozzymix) (thule)
aril brikha - on and on (transmat)
david alvarado - klugh (ovum)
juju christian - feel good (zeppelin)
