This Is Massive Attack

Clocking in at over four and a half hours, this epic mix collects Massive Attack’s vast collection of work into a flowing journey of elegiac, melancholy soul and deep, dubbed-out funk.  Spanning their career from 1991 to 2004’s “Danny the Dog OST” album, as well as a number of the essential Mad Professor remixes from “No Protection,” this is a definitive document on the seminal Bristol, UK group.

Arranged by DJ Finny, who did a perfect job of blending and arranging this mix in a way that always puts the music first, and also bridges the darker, more ambient interludes with classics like “Karmacoma” and “Teardrop.”  Listen and download below, and check out the gigantic track list after the jump.

New Catnap mix – “November Chill”

November Chill cover

I’ve just finished up my Fall mix for 2008, and it’s an eclectic blend of chillout classics from the mid-90’s to early 2000’s.  It opens up with a tune by Yoko Kanno, a Japanese composer known for her work on many famous anime including Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell.  Titled “Pulse,” it is the theme from 1994’s Macross Plus, and I’ve wanted to include it in a mix for a long time.  Other notables include Cigani Rusza & Angelo’s gypsy-inflected tune “Demovast,” John Medeski’s rollicking “Swamp Road,” and Nightmares on Wax’s bouncey ode to ‘back in the day’ “70’s & 80’s.”
