Just had a listen, what a great mix for our first member mixtape! Great choices everyone I thoroughly enjoyed this.

I really loved this. It made me want to serenade someone with it. I watched a really cool live version on YouTube following this, too. Great song.

Very dark and lots of minor half-steps. I thought the bass was really distinctive and "beasty" sounding.

I enjoyed the ephemeral and somewhat dreamy aspects of this track. Thanks, Chrysalis.

Cool choice, Trollheart! I have never heard of this group before but I really loved it. I felt like singing along, even though I didn't know the words.

Not the kind of genre I listen to but I really loved this! I was definitely bopping my head along. Loved the middle eastern tones. Reminds me of something that would be played at one of Melbourne's alternative little, eastern-flavoured bars on a Friday or Saturday night.

So beautiful. Probably my favourite from this mix, just because it was perfect for the kind of day I was having today. I sat on my sofa and closed my eyes and just melted into it Plus I have a thing for songs about atlases, I wrote one myself once.

Again, not the kind of genre I usually listen to, but when this came on I thought "I bet this is dj's song" and I was right! Such a dj tune to pick. Catchy tune and cool beat to it.

Liked this also. This song reminds me of that British post-punk era that I often enjoy the likes of!

What a fun song. Made me want to get out my tambourine and sit outdoors and smash out some tunes with my friends.

I apologise for my response not being that detailed, I thought I'd just include a quick little reaction to each track I listened to. But I thoroughly enjoyed this mix, it's great to listen to music that you wouldn't normally.
