**FULL TRACKLISTING BELOW**

I'm often asked in interviews what my early influences were.
If I could have made a mixtape years ago like the ones I've been making more recently, then it would probably have sounded something like this.
71 tracks in 75 minutes, with mashups of up to 4 or 5 tracks playing at the same time.
Features many legendary artists of the time, from DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Orbital through to Portishead, Luke Vibert, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Shy FX & UK Apachi, Bonobo, 4hero, Adam F, Amon Tobin, Chemical Brothers, Red Snapper and Aquasky - with some Classical, Folk and Choral music, and Moondog, The Beta Band, Donovan, Jive Bunny, Velvet Underground, Herb Alpert and classic jungle thrown in.
Apart from appearances from Brian Eno and Derren Brown, this mixtape doesn't feature interviews and field recordings like the other mixtapes in the annual series, but it does still feature acapellas from J-Live, KRS-One, Common, Roots Manuva, Choclair and more.

Early Influences Mixtape - Hidden Orchestra

This is a beautiful tune by Charles Grant and I have always loved to play it. Hope you like this version, featuring the wonderful Alistair Iain Paterson on piano.

Mrs Jamieson's Favourite

I've struggled to put into words the impact of Scott Hutchinson's passing and I don't even think this comes close. As someone who is still battling depression and suicidal thoughts on a daily basis I would say this is a somewhat cathartic release. It's a sad song and I'm going to suggest that you need to be kind to yourself and only listen to this if you feel up to it. So much love to everyone.

So open about it
Cut myself open about it
They said talk to your friends
Well I talked to my friends and still it came
Unwelcome shame
Starting over again and again and again and again

The river knows
The river knows which way to take me
To take me home

Written and recorded by Jo Whitby
