4. Grum- Heartbeats (FM Attack Remix)
5. Stacey Q - Two Of Hearts
6. FM Attack - Sleepless Nights
7. Pete Sparrow - Stallion
8. Principles of Geometry - A Mountain For President (Joakim Mix)
9. Le Prix - Euro Tennis
10. Turquoise Waters - Sferro
11. Minitel Rose - Continue (Anoraak 'Lovecoast' Remix)
12. The Teenagers - Feeling Better (Build Remix)
13. Anoraak - Talking In Your Sleep
14. Futurecop! - Transformers
15. Cyndi Lauper - The Goonies 'R' Good Enough

Listening

The boxart of Double Dragon 2, having The Goonies theme song on it, and nu-disco/italo genres represented... sounds fucking amazing. Will have to d/l when I'm at home (since Soundcloud is blocked here at work).

Cool stuff! I'll always be a sucker for this kind of sound. A few not so harmonically pleasing transitions, but other than that, the flow was good. Plenty of good tunes, and the movie samples worked well. Enjoyed it

Posted by DJ Patski on Apr-29-2010 22:35:

Really enjoyed this one mate.

Gorgeous 80's synths all the way through, some great tunes in there and the flow was terrific. There was one or two transitions that were a bit abrupt imo but the quality tunes easily made up the difference

Already given this a listen once and just got some new speakers put in my car so will be giving this another run when I go for a drive later.

Sensational mix all round, well done.

As others have noted there are some transitions which are a bit weird (Feel The Drive -> Heartbeats most notably atm), but overall this was a really enjoyable mix

Posted by alcalaholic on May-03-2010 14:51:

Thanks everyone! Like I said, I had a lot of fun putting it together. You guys must have better ears than me cuz I don't hear the weird transitions but that's cool. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and hope you enjoy it!

Stag And Dagger 2010 Competition Mix by Dan Alcala on Mixcloud

I entered this in this mixcloud contest. I'm sure the winner will be someone who plays dubstep or minimal but anyway, if you have a mixcloud account and want to leave a thumbs up or however they do it that would be cool. If not, cool too

This mix was tits. The samples worked so damn well. Honestly, this mix hasn't left my car in a few days now. The only transition I had problems with was the Two of Hearts one. Other then that, every other one worked out well.

Talking in Your Sleep -> Transformers

Posted by DJ Double Threat on May-04-2010 20:51:

I found this mix to be very well put together! I really enjoyed the mixture of songs. I dig this style of music too, always upbeat and fun to listen too.

Keep it up bro, you did a GREAT job Keep it up!!!

Yeah that's my favorite transition too.

Also the same thing with listening to the CD in the car, I copied the mix onto CD for my girlfriend on her way to uni and she loves it.

Looking forward to the next mix mate
