Tape #5: Calypso

I've knocked together another tape for you. This one is called Calypso and is basically a load of songs that have steel drums in them. There are some dangerously good remixes in there which massively drive things up (e.g. Rex the Dogs edits of Triangle Walks just hits the roof). And there are some originals too, Round Table Knight's Calypso and Xinobi's Hawaii stand on their own.

Tape #2: Coconuts

Goofy, psychedelic, poppy, dreamy... There's an electronic vibe to this line up which causes my feet to flirt with a movement that occupies that subtle border land between standing and dancing. Don't panic, there are plenty of rest breaks. Keel over on the sand and bask like a manta ray fallen from the sky. By the time you reach the end of Beirut's No Dice you won't know where you are.
