Letherette – Beat showcase mix – free download

I was sent an email about this mix from a friend of mine a few weeks back- to be honest I’d totally forgotten about it until a follow up email appeared asking me what i thought…..

So i downloaded it. And listened to it. And thought it was great.

A laid back mix of broken beat electronica IDM meets hip hop meets 80′s cheese meets Alexander O’Neal.
Featuring plenty of tracks from Letherette themselves, other notable artists include Thomas Bangalter (one half of Daft Punk), Hudson Mohawke, and Lone.

BTS Radio, who commissioned the mix, had this to say about it on their site:

Who to watch in 2010?
Letherette.

The duo out of Wolverhampton may only have two official remixes to their name, the excellent reshaping of Bibio‘s “Lovers’ Carvings” and Machinedrum‘s “Late Night Operation”, but they’ve managed to make a scene shaking impression.

Further listens on their MySpace page and you hear what could very well be the UK’s best kept secret.

We’re proud to present this guest mix created by Letherette, showcasing a collection of beats and some personal favorites.

(For the tune spotters out there i’ve just realised the sample used on the “Lovers’ Carvings” track is the one used on DJ Cam‘s awesome 1994 track “Dieu Reconnaitra Les Siens“……but i digress…..)

To give you an idea of the mix i’ve chopped out some tracks to give you a little taste….
