First up is a mix tape from the immensely talented Tony Volker. Tone has spent the last few years secretly slipping off to his bed room to produce the most amazingly charming acoustic based music.
We were always aware of his love of the guitar and knew he could knock a tune together. But he quietly let known to us a few months back that he has put a selection of his favorite bedroom creations in one place resulting in a genuinely brilliant and original album. His sound is made even more endearing by the fact that he has put it all together purely for the love of making his music and the occasional crackle of a lomo bedroom recording set up adds to the chilled and upbeat atmosphere he's created on each song. Any way, enough of my descriptive bollox, the Album "Moving Plates" is up on his Bandcamp page here for sale at the price of what ever you want to give. He's also given us a couple of freebies to download below so get on the DL and see what you think.

Tony's Kicks - Tony has sent us an image of his pair of Mercurial Nike footy boots. A hint toward his sporting past we think, with many a tail of coaching young boys past over to us at the pub table. (No.....Tone is a teacher for anyone with a sick mind). Anyway, nice to have something a little different to go with a slightly different DJ Sneaks.
Tony's Mix- As we've stated, something a little different today. A throw back to the old ways of making a mix tape. We all remember when a mix tape meant putting together a selection of tracks in one place that would play one after the other without having to change the CD or for those of you old enough...the tape. I think these mix tapes, especially when passing them on to other people are the hardest to put together. Have a listen on the player below and get on over to Tony's Bandcamp page and buy his album for something a little different to the usual housey house to get you through the day.
