Happy one-year-anniversary to my Messy Mix project! And since I started it in late 2022 with a big dance party (https://soundcloud.com/messymix/big-2022-end-of-the-year-mix) I thought it might be natural to also end this first round of mixtapes with another one. Because honestly: What else is there left to do in these troubled times then to dance the pain away, right?

Like with last year’s End-of-the-year-set I still find it challenging to gather overall hits for this one because they simply don’t exist anymore in our fragmented media landscape. But these are MY personal favourite go-to-tunes of 2023 - from the life-embracing pop of Romy and Caroline Polachek to the disco vibes of Jessie Ware. From the comebacks of old heroes like Everything But The Girl and Bloc Party to banging rave tunes by Overmono and ANNA. There’s also not one but two Mall Grab tunes in there because his tunes were all over the place for me. 90 minutes of genre-hopping euphoria awaits you in the 11th edition of the Messy Mix.

Despite that uplifting vibe the past year has been extremely difficult for me on a personal and mental level and you might even hear a bit of that mellowness in the mix but overall it also made me crave for positivity and life-affirming hedonistic euphoria even more, ironically. And you will also hear that in that mix, I guess. Thanks for listening to it and the other Messy Mixes throughout 2023. Thanks to all the artists that contributed so far... it means the world to me. 

The Messy Mix will return in 2024. Until then: Take care of each other.
