Instant Peterson & Andras Fox - Southern Shores (Guest Mix, 2013)

the growing bin proudly presented Kiev's Pavel Plastikk in October 2012. Pavel played his records all over Europe from Lowlife & Aficionado to Soju and is running the highly acclaimed LOW parties at home in the Ukraine's lovely capital. Pavel's mixes have been featured over at Noncollective, Finger Mag and Testpressing. and now at the bin : )
no apples and snakes in Pavels Paradise - simple and plain: lovely tunes worshipping the lust for music. wonderful ambient meets westcoast beauties meeting balearic pop - plus the one tune that will always remind me of my first heartbreak in 1987's summer camp..... !
Thanks Pavel for the music and lovely memories!

Abel - Basic Instincts (Guest Mix, 2012)

Back by popular demand: Tako's wonderful Holiday Mix!
Here's what I wrote 7 years ago:

I was about to post this beautiful summer mix of Tako with the following words:

"What do you expect from a mix when it's done by a supernice guy with an excellent taste in music and a wonderful record collection? Yeah and that's exactly what you get here. Also make sure to get a copy of the first 12" of the Sombrero Galaxy, released on Lovefingers long awaited ESP Institute. Sombrero Galaxy is the collabo between Tako and Jonny Nash and their "Journey to the center of the sun" is one of my favourite releases of the last years, cheers!"

That was yesterday. In the meantime something terrible happened. Tako's friend Petros Malevis from Athens passed away without a warning. This mix is dedicated to Petros! He will be missed. Rest in peace, Petros.

Tako - Holiday (Guest Mix, 2010)

Here's what I wrote in 2012:
"I'm very happy to announce that we have another great mix from my friend Chee at the growing bin. In this mix he plays favourite discoveries from his last digging trip to the mediterranean. So be prepared for some excellent balearic fusion, MPB, portugese Pearls, italian Disco Pop, sundried ambient and a lot more... Thanks a lot for this Chee!"

Chee - Now And Then (Guest Mix, 2012)

Here's what I wrote in 2011:
I'm so happy to present a wonderful mix by Chee Shimizu, DJ, Producer, Connoisseur  and owner of the fantastic Organic Music online record store from Japan - specialized in all things organic (of course) like Ethno Jazz, South American Fusion, Krautrock, Ambient Electronics, Intelligent Dance Music and all things DEEP! Now guess what you're about to hear in this beautiful mix.
Thanks Chee!!"

This is not just another rerule of a growing bin guest mix. It's the shit!!
Here's what I wrote in 2010: 
"Autumn again! I couldn't imagine anything nicer than sitting at home in the warmth, looking at the raindrops run down the window and listen to this beautiful mix Abel is spoiling us with. It's been on repeat since I got it and i'm damn happy to share it with you. Off the hook!! Make sure to check out Abel's mixes on Lovefingers, Dreamchimney, Noncollective and Noiseinmyhead and of course get a copy of his fantastic edits on Blackdisco instantly. But listen to this first. THE SPACE BETWEEN.
Thanks so much Abel!"

Make sure to check out his mixes also at Plaid Music, ANOE, Amen Brother, Higher Love and Pleasure Cruis'n"

Here's what I wrote in 2012:
"Happy new year folks!
The growing bin PROUDLY presents a wonderful, deep and eclectic mix by L.A. based musician, hobby gardener, cat & dog friend and music lover Wolfgang a.k.a. Zuckerzeit a.k.a. Zucker Chimney.
Being a big fan of his mixes I am correspondingly VERY happy to host one of these beauties now .
Please spread your "Savant Wings" and take an hour long trip around the music world starting in Wolfgang's garden in California (see pics). Fly over to Germany, or to Japan, Spain and Brasil. From Norway over Hungary to the Netherlands, Mexico or Africa and back to Japan - then listen again : )
TAUSEND DANK WOLFGANG!"
Please also listen to Wolfgang's record https://soundcloud.com/growingbinrecords/sets/liquid-canoe-liquid-canoe

Zucker - Savant Wings (Guest Mix, 2012)

Here's what I wrote in 2013:
"the growing bin has been sent some lovely mixes in the last weeks and and I'm sorry that didn't yet manage to post these - until today!
so we're going to spoil you with 3 mixes in a row now - starting off with Henri Aleksi's Closing Time in Mexico.
Henri's a music lover from Helsinki. He's studying Portugese and Latin American studies - no surprise then that there's a lot of that wonderful south american organic sound in the mix. He mingles it with contemporary classical, blissful jazz, ambient and balearic tunes and creates an atmosphere that makes me want to set sails for the desert.....and blissfully drift away - LISTEN!
Thanks Henri!!"

Here's what I wrote in 2011:
"I'm super happy to present Seven Towers - a mix by Tolouse Low Trax, solo recording artist, member of Kreidler and the man behind the world famous Salon Des Amateurs. If you know previous mixes like "Ocean" over at Lovefingers, "Savant Dance" at Kosmonautenschule or Mix at Vessel you know what to expect. If you don't - I give you 4 words: Deep, Intelligent, Obscure, Percussive and Experimental. And that's just the tip of his iceberg......... here you go ... diving.
Danke Detlef!"

Tolouse Low Trax - Seven Towers (Guest Mix, 2011)

Heres what I wrote in 2010:
"We're unbelievably happy to have a superb mix by the "Kings of Downtempo" - Ronny & Renzo in the growing bin. If you belong to the four persons on the globe who don't know these guys and their label King Kung Foo yet, just buy their records (they're amazing - Broken Fingers incl. a Sombrero Galaxy remix came out a few weeks ago : ) and check out their interview (and of course the mix) at Cosmic Disco. But first listen to this mix. It's different from most of the mixes I've yet heard. They are precisely cutting vocal samples from german TV, overlaying laid back Ronny & Renzo originals and pearls from the vast collection. Next level ; )
Dear listener, I know you love it gloomy, spiritiual and a tad surreal -
so may I present Cadavre Exquis.
your pocket grows seafood on the moon!"

Ronny & Renzo - Cadavre Exquis (Guest Mix, 2010)

Here's what I wrote in 2009:
"We @ the growing bin are really happy to supply you with a superb mix by a highly acclaimed Italo and Cosmic Disco expert - DJ MEDA. If you're into weird spatial synths and driving basses - Volume 3 of the Amazing Space Mixes is the thing for you. We have an option on Volume 4, so post comments galore please...
Danke Meda!!!!"

Meda DJ - Amazing Space No. 3 (Guest Mix, 2009)

Here's what I wrote in 2012: 
"Some time ago I got this this lovely ambient mix from my friend Miguel, who is a music promotor in Oporto, Portugal working with onedotzero and arquivo, organizing listening sessions and daily playlists.
I liked it so much that i asked permission to post it here and that's what I'm doing now. Thanks Miguel!
"Breathing the rain drop" is a wonderful deep meditation and the only cure against this hectic internet life.
Go dive....."

Here's what I wrote in 2012:
"Finally a guest mix again. And it's a lovely one!! Brought to us by swiss record collecor, DJ &  musician Zukie173 (a man and his JX-3P). Blessed with a profound knowledge of all things deep he spoils us with a highly versatile mix that holds beauties from Deep Soul to spatial Progressive Rock via ambient Electronics, sexy Funk and amazing french Vocal Jazz...... to name just a few of the genres featured!
Thanks a ton, Zukie173, for this beauty!"

Here's what I wrote in 2012
"here's a great / experimental mix from Terrordisco a.k.a. Sveinbjörn from Reykjavík, Iceland. He contacted me after hearing Abel's last mix for the growing bin describing "Short Waves" with words like this: "It's kinda conceptual, rooted in memories of playing around with shortwave radios when I was a kid."
Yep, that's what it is! And it's full of wonderful bittersweet moments....
Please check it out!! It's a highly entertaining piece of art
Thanks Sveinbjörn!!"

Terrordisco - Shortwave (Guest Mix, 2012)

NO DEMOS PLEASE! 
growing bin records is a micro-label and online record store. With lots of love and affection we bring you music that is special to our ears. Well actually we're a one man business, but "we" sounds a bit more professional, or maybe even royal. Forget about that. We're small and not a bit royal and we'll stay small and loyal. Cheers!  If I should not react to your demo I probably didn't feel it, and I'm too shy to tell you.  Sorry but life is short and I don't release stuff that i feel 100%. Keep on keeping on! 
I am actually not releasing much at all at the moment as I am focussing on selling the thousands of used records in my studio (that has to move later in the year) so do me a favour and come over to the bin aka www.growingbinrecords.com and help me get rid of the gold ...(no not my own collection!)
