If you're looking for nostalgia, or an education on the history of dance music rhythms, or scrub that, let's say something to practice those latest Zumba moves to, check out the Joint Fixtures mixtape.

Nine+ months of expectation led to the fruitful delivery of what is now a wonderful smiling bundle of puke and poop. I can safely say I'm having a time like no other in my life. Other new adventures this year include a foray into the world of jazz following a trip to New Orleans. One rambunctious night turned us on to the new interpretations of an old time style courtesy of the Smoking Time Jazz Club and I've since been digging into the old style proper courtesy of Coleman Hawkins, amongst others. I say all this, but this mixtape installment goes in a wholly different direction dipping more into the world of indie-inflected dance music. I understand that this is the festive time of the year, but this one is more winter than Christmas. And it's not a best of 2010 compilation: that would be a major disservice to the bunch of tracks I received in December which I still haven't worked my way through. Kicking things off with the ultra-ambient tinkles of George Lenton, the mix moves into the more muscular direction of Kings of Tomorrow before dropping down a notch with White Hinderland's rendition of Timberlake's 'My Love'. Clicks and Whistles is an American outfit indicative of the new sounds coming out of the US. As you can probably tell by the occurrence of two tracks in this mix, I'm a fan of their Idiothouse EP. Other notable mentions are Peo de Pitte's reworking of Telepopmusik's Breathe (I'd urge you to check out the full version which I didn't have the courage to feature here) and the exciting direction Daft Punk have taken the movie soundtrack genre.

Scouring through the blogs once again on this mix. It's summer so leaning more in the direction of trance and blissed out beats, setting the scene with an airy reworking of a Florence and the Machine track before traversing a path towards Agoria's strung out Grande Torino. Tom Stephan beefs things up a little (twiddling Laidback Luke's knobs) before making a b-line for one of my guilty pleasures: Pryda. Not a big fan of his more effusive chart-aimed offerings (often under the Eric Prydz moniker), I'm surprisingly drawn to his more drawn out tribal journeys. Blaze were a New Jersey duo that came to prominence on the deep house scene in the early 1990's. I never really took the time to explore them, but 'Lovelee Day' is throbby uplifting house at its best. Once again I turned to the simplicity of Mixmeister Fusion, occasionally turning to mixing by chords but really having fun with the one-touch looping and channel knobs. One laptop and a pair of headphones was all this took. Hope you like the results...

Life slipping you by? One minute you were toasting in the new year and next it's June? Take a deep breath and if you can't make it to your local watering hole, slip on a pair of ear buds and take this mix around the block. I've thrown together a mix of new and old using the wonderfully, elegantly simple Mixmeister Fusion (thanks Natalie for the suggestion to bin Ableton - way too powerful for my humble needs). It's been a tough week, but be-bopping around Lake Merritt in Oakland to this selection helped me usher in the weekend with a fresh glow. Along the way I managed to catch this fabulous mural hanging out in an underpass. Let me know how this mix works for you...

Not sure if I'm going to make it down tonite. My excuse is too many tasters among the fine wines of Calistoga. And just in case you don't make it, you can listen to Sety AKA Circus Company doing his thing on Resident Advisor. Expect a mix delving into the jazzier end of the techno spectrum. Clocking in at over 2 hours, this mix is a true smooooth journey through steamy dubby otherworldy beeps/clicks. Sit back, light one up and relax. Or shadow dance like it's 1994.

Well, it all started with this remix of the MJ track 'Stranger in Moscow' which was unfamiliar to me as by the time History came out, I'd largely lost interest. Well, that track didn't even make it onto this mix in the end. I ended venturing a little further leftfield into more tribal territory. Don't despair, black heart day is only around the corner and I couldn't resist the Sandcastles remix of that old Robin S Euro-thumper 'Show me love'. Forgive me, all you purists out there.
