Our Mix of the Week is headed up by none other than Brighton’s Tim Nolan (aka Cypherpunx & Flip Fantasia) with his 3 hour mix on the Prog Fun Goodness (PFG) series.
Nolan uploaded from his vinyl collection to make this incredibly generous 3 hour mix entitled “After The Afters DJ Mix”; in his own words words….
“Back from the after hours to finish the big night out with a back to mine session! The first hour we still have some juice left in the tank but as the sun continues to rise forcing it’s way through the crack in the curtains casting shards of light onto the smoke filled room we drift down into downtempo ambient electronica and chillout where beatmatching becomes simple blending trying to hold on to the last moments of energy until our eye lids can stay open no longer! This 3 hour session is recorded from vinyl albums i’ve bought or featured on over the last few years including a couple of reissues of classic records i’ve played so much they’d worn out so I needed to buy fresh copies. Lay back kick it, enjoy the ride!”
