Hey everyone. This latest mix is a throwback of sorts. The idea was to do a mix of a house party circa 1981 or so, but its finished form migrated from that idea a bit. I couldn't resist the temptation to beef up the mix with a couple more contemporary tracks. Think of it as if two dj's, one who had just voted for Jimmy Carter and was pissed and one who had just voted for Obama and was psyched, were both spinning in some alternative universe where time was irrelevent, and there was a banging house party (???)... or just check it out and don't worry about it. I'm gonna do more in this vein--there's so much great music from this era. Let me know what you think! 256kbps, 85 MB.

So I can feel through cyberspace all of you dying to know why my first posted mix below was titled Mixtape #2. It's because there is an earlier mix! Imagine that. Mister Wolf Mixtape #1 might unofficially be called "The Hits" because a lot of the tracks are or were, in fact, hits. Some of them, however, were not hits by any stretch of the imagination, but should have been in my opinion, which is why "The Hits" is in quotation marks. Further, some of the actual hits are songs I kinda hate (or secretly like), but I made sure to oddly juxtapose them for maximum ironic effect. This one was really an experiment to see how many ridiculously different genres I could get into an hour's worth of music. Enjoy and let me know what you think. 256 kbps 106 MB.

Yes, this is the inaugural post of Mister Wolf's Mixtape Mania. The idea here is to post digital versions of old-school mixtapes--stuff I like or find interesting or what I'm spinning @ any given time. Also, mash-ups, remixes, and rare vinyl I've come across. Plus it's a grand opportunity to become a blogger--that's right folks, I blog now, I'm a BLOGGER! I'm already having the time of my life!
This first mix is all about the dance party. In fact, its unofficial title is Mister Wolf Mixtape #2 Dance Party USA. Awesome new and old disco, electro, and deep house tracks for your dancing pleasure. Track listing below. 256 kbps, about 85 MB. Let me know what you think!
