Ben Clifford - White Rabbit NYE Promo Mix

An eclectic new mix I put together for the Gottwood DJ competition 2015, taking in tracks from Jimi Hendrix, Dana Ruh, System of Survival, International Pony and Fleetwood Mac, amongst others. 

The competition info said "We encourage eclectic mixes showcasing a broad range of musical taste and mixing ability" - but disappointingly, although the shortlisted mixes span a range of genres as a whole, individually most of them stick pretty rigidly to a particular style throughout the mix(be it nu disco, ambient, house, techno or even jazz in one case). And very weirdly, almost all of them (I think 7 out of 10) used exactly the same intro! Does that suggest something about the extent to which a lot of people tend to buy the same music these days?

Sadly I haven't been shortlisted, but I'm proud of the mix and it's time to share it - hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

Best of luck and congrats to the ones that have been shortlisted, which you can check out below - for me, the entries from Echofloat or Empath would be worthy winners, both very cool and interesting - if you like James Zabiela's RA mix and Nicolas Jaar's Essential Mix, they'll be right up your street!
