Sometimes you just know.
I’ve only given it two spins on the iPhone, but Mark Farina’s Soda Pop Can edition of the Great Lakes Audio podcast, is the most listenable thing I’ve got my hands on approaching TWO YEARS!! The closest recently comparable mix I’ve acquired was Evol Intent’s Us Against the World, which I got back in late April of 2011.
Soda Pop Can starts out deceptively languorous and down tempo, then maintains pretty close to the same BPM just about all the way throughout. This would typically be a recipe for monotony, but Farina is at the top of his selectin’ game, so the entire mix is an end-to-end toe tapping, head nodder. Peak moment is reserved for K&B’s Let’s Stay Together (a B-side no less), promptly followed by Ben La Desh’s hypnotic Motion.
One hour, seventeen minutes of pure house?, downtempo? bliss.
