Cools Records mixtape series

Welcoming our latest guests to the Leisure Club Mixtape series, our long-time favourite funk-folks Video Age from the land of po-boys, jazz clubs and the melting pot of cultures, New Orleans.

Playing music together for the last decade and longtime friends from their early years coming up in the DIY scene, Ross Farbe (vocals/guitar) and Ray Micarelli (drums) began the project with their debut album in 2016 and have been crafting their signature early 80's synth-pop sound with experimentation and collaboration playing an important role in their magic-making recording process. 

Since catching our attention with their second full-length album Pop Therapy back in 2018, it's safe to say we're delighted to have them join us for a quick mixtape after regular inclusions in our Poolside Etiquette playlist over the years. 

We caught up with the dynamic duo on the blog to chat about life, being back on the road and emerging bands to keep an eye on. Stream the mixtape via our SoundCloud and peep the full interview below. 

Thanks for being Cools.

Cassettes For Holidays 2 [Winter Tape]

Whilst we wind the clocks back in Sydney and take our last gasp of the fresh summer breeze, we assemble our ammunition to protect us from the damp autumn leaves. The post-summer comedown isn’t the easiest to overcome, so we’ve acquired an ample amount of crew, the last remaining rays of sunshine and the sounds of Bag Raiders to get us through the first chapter of the fall.

The crew at Cools HQ have kept a close eye on Aussie-electronica royalties, Chris & Jack (Bag Raiders) since their debut self-titled album in 2010. Timeless tracks like Sunlight, Snake Charmer and infamous party-starter Shooting Stars have helped us turn our Mondays into Sundays and hypnotised dance-floors time and time again at our summer soirées – we thought it was about time we brought the homies on board for our friskiest mixtape series to date. 

Kick back and tap into the latest edition of our Cools Records Mixtape series below and prepare to unwind.

Cools Records • Volume 002 • Bag Raiders

Welcome to the disco hemisphere. 

The home of ceaseless sunsets, supernatural melodies and late night indulgence invites you to join us for an intimate soirée with the German guardian angel of grooves, @tensnake.

In celebration of the release of our brand new collection, Cools Records II, we’ve acquired the services of one of the pioneers of new-age house music to help us let off some steam with our crew.

Since the release of his blissfully euphoric track ‘Coma Cat’, @tensnake has captivated dance-floors worldwide with his infectious high energy sounds. If he hasn’t caught your attention yet, prepare yourself for a night of enlightening disco discovery.

Strap yourself into the latest edition of our Cools Records Mixtape series and enjoy the ride.

TRANSATLANTIC

Welcome to the fifth volume of our friskiest mixtape series to date.

From Palm Springs pool parties to sundrenched shenanigans at the home-grown Splendour In The Grass Festival over the past month, it’s hard to believe Barney Cools himself found the time to drop a new collection last week.

As tradition goes, it's not a new collection without a fresh mixtape. We've called upon the New York prodigy behind Slow Hands, Ryan Cavanagh, to gift our loyal homies with a mixtape packed with peachy poolside jams to kick your week into gear. Expect psychedelic rock throwbacks, feel-good house favourites and a couple of surprises to keep your toes tapping and speakers cranking.

Shop our latest collection, Cools Records III online now.

The festive season has begun.

For the homies down under, the spring and summer shenanigans have well and truly begun. The days are longer, the drinks are stronger and Mondays are becoming increasingly harder to conquer.

With summer on the horizon in the Sth Hem, we've invited South America's finest day mix connosseiur, Pabels, to give the homies a sultry summer tease.

Expect a finely concocted mixture of poolside vibes and awe inducing funky synth driven disco bombs ~ if you weren't ready for the summer ahead, you'll be locked and loaded after an hour with the lord of Beunos Aires.

Pour one last drink and play one last track, we know you want more, but it's time to alight, we've reached Cools Records Four.

Our fourth and final collection for 2018 has just hit the world wide web and to celebrate, we've invited our homie, https://soundcloud.com/moodsprod, to present an eclectic mix of feel good tunes all the way from Amsterdam.

The master of funky R&B en soul has just released his debut album 'Zoom Out' available now online here. Described as an infusion of house, funk, electronica and hip hop - it's quickly become an office favourite and has been getting rinsed here at BCHQ.

Sit down, plug in and enjoy the sounds of Moods while peeping our brand new collection online now at www.BarneyCools.com

Risky Business - Shareholder Value

As we move into a new season, we reflect on what the warmer days gave to us. I find autumn brings a sense of quietness, a chance to slow down, a chance to rejuvenate ourselves along with those close to us. 

Nothing fancy here. Laissez-faire. Grab a café, hit play, cozy up, & slow down. 

Thanks for listening.
