We were honored to contribute to the White Light Mix Series, "a showcase of great songs, not tracks – songs and mixes you want to listen over and over again, songs that have depth and staying power, and most importantly songs that mean something to each other." A most chilled-out affair.

You can download both sides of the tape and stream Ol' Capsy's half here.

Half an hour of street beats and space bass, recorded live in late 2012. Post-house club heat.

Another installment in the (almost) annual Splendid Moments series. 

My favorite Splendid Moments mix, I think? Recorded at a weird juncture in my life. Original cover file was lost to the ages; this lo-res wackness comes courtesy of the Wayback Machine.

Some of my favorite songs of MMVIII mixed and blended for RockTheDub.com, "the least jiggy and most no frills" outpost in the blogosphere. Mike Famous says this tape sounds like "a year in the mountains," and it was.

Half an hour of power recorded for then-fledgling dance music blog Discobelle. This was commissioned during C&J's 15 minutes of (limited) fame following the release of Moving In Stereo and closely coincided with us actually being invited to DJ in Sweden. Lyssnar was creditted by Discobelle with helping establish their web presence early on and by streetwear site slamXhype with making Depeche Mode cool again. It still sounds fresh after 8 years and is totally suitable for your houseparty playlists.

This mix is/was a classic. I use it as a warm-up just about every time I DJ out in the boonies (which I guess isn't much, but still...) XMU is?/was the indie-oriented station in the satellite radio roster, and Gavin, host of their dance music show which I believe is/was called Indeed, invited C&J to contribute a mix to be played over the air. CAPS AND JONES IN SPACE!

(Correctly) assuming that every other DJ asked to participate, not to mention the show's format, would lean heavily on a la mode acts like Justice, Spankrock, Vitalic, et al we morphed into our Dizzy and Daffy Dean personae and threw them this classic rock curveball. With the exception of the set-ender, no one with a sense of rhythm would deny that these are very much Dance Songs, but I don't think it's at all what we were expected to deliver.  We were just as proud of that fact as we were of the mix itself, which is full of improbably awesome transitions and underappreciated songs that either had been or would become C&J live staples.
