Cools Records mixtape series

Cools Records is a lifestyle fuelled by a drug we call music. 

The last three years has seen us been inspired by an array of artists, genres and sounds as we’ve penned the Barney Cools narrative. From perching ourselves poolside to the melodies of Sticky Fingers and Fat Freddy’s Drop to closing some of our wildest nights with vintage electronic anthems from Armand Van Helden and Fatboy Slim, it’s safe to safe we’ve developed quite an appetite for music that makes us feel fulfilled.

Whilst genres such as indie-rock and relaxed reggae undeniably pack an abundance of heat, there’s truly nothing that intoxicates us more than the sound of the disco beat. Hence why we’ve secured the services of none other than the German master of funky disco and house, Purple Disco Machine, to do the honours of introducing undoubtedly our friskiest mixtape series to date.

Fresh from the release of his debut album Soulmatic, expect nothing less than a revolving platter of pleasure-inducing records from one of Nu Disco’s most in-form producers and provider of good times. It’s about time we rekindled for a dance – plug in and get toe-tapping.

Feast your eyes on our brand new collection Cools Records online now.

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.

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
