I've zipped this first one nice and tight and it should open into 11 separate files grouped as one album. It's a sort of ambient electronic bunch of tunes with the more dancey stuff loaded at the front end. I wanted it to sound like the kind of mix to which you might flake out on the last night bus down the country, or dive deep into during the small hours when your body is wrecked but your brain can't sleep. Anyone who knows me knows that I listen to lots of music that sounds like broken fridges or dying wasps, so I'd like to reassure them that I've gone light on that type of thing for the sake of everyone's ears. The next mix will be something completely different. The Guardian's guide to 1,000 songs has me dipping in and out of classic rock recently and I'm listening to lots of post punk too.
Hope you like 'Happiness is a Low Hum', and please let me know what you think. I'll be reviewing Kells St Patrick's Day parade on Wednesday. See you then!

Congrats on your first mix, D-Bear! Just downloaded it so will listen to it before bed.
cool thank you. I hope you love it. There is a mad bit where Telefon Tel Aviv swell up really big but that's about all that's that'll startle a sleepy head.
Looking forward to listening to this later.
And bring on the Parade review!
Lovin this mix, took the terror out of this afternoon in work. Bravo.
thanks Aoife and Red. If I can do anything remove a little bit of the fear from someone's life after a session, my work is done.
I'm always on the fence when it comes to downloading whole mixes but when I saw you had the guts to put Final Fantasy music on there I decided I had to go for it. And...
Nice mix!! Looking forward to more!
Thanks for your feedback Mr or Miss Heidelberg. I love most of the Nobuo uematso videogame music. Final Fantasy VII completely infiltrated my life at one stage, and to make something that repeats as often as the world map music and not annoy people with it is genius in my book.
