Mix of the Hour

UPDATE (12/10/05 2:26PM): The direct link I gave you to to the below mix is a dud, so you'll just have to go by way of the AOL Music page. Look under the Editor's Picks section for the LCD Soundsystem mix, but for the DFA Holdiday Mix, check under the Featured Artist section. Happy listening campers!

For those of you who don't know me that well (and judging by a show of hands that would be... yep, all of you.) I loves me some DFA-style dance mixes. I found this one by way of Beats in Space, who pointed towards a handy AOL Music page which led me to "AOL Mix 09/16/2005' - Part 1" by none other than LCD Soundsystem.


This mix boasts a 1:05:42 running time and starts out relatively slow with a single repeating loop until around :50 where it breaks into full disco beat. At 1:25 the lyrics kick in. The mix ends in a glorious hail of feedback and various Halloween-esque sound effects. The transitions are seamless and it's a great soundtrack to waking up at 11:00 and calling it early.
