The Listening Club - 24th March 2019

Hi folks,

Eric here, still busy in England, but providing a quick editor's update on last week, whence we had @akx on the wheels of steel with his pick of The Artful Dodger's "It's All About The Stragglers". Thanks to Aarni for the pick, and for asailing the frisb across to @FaberFedor for next week's selection, but first, it's back over to the aforementioned @akx...

Hello hello hello!

It's been a while since our last one, but it's vortex time again! It's me, Aarni (@akx) here in the blog chair, having been the vortex master for this edition (oof, my first time doing a vortex that isn't video!), and what an edition it is!

As you might be aware, our theme for this time was #GETSHITDONEVORTEX, i.e. songs to get things done to. Despite a slightly bleak-looking start for submissions, we ended up with a more than healthy 25 tracks, and clocking in at nearly two hours (even with yours truly attempting an edit or two where possible and suitable, and having to dropcurate out a tune or two) it's a bit of a chonker.

Considering I'm writing this from the Oak Barrel pub at Helsinki airport with an hour to departure, the final mix just being uploaded to the cloud, I can say I got shit done getting it done, though.

Anyway – you're not here for me blabbering along, you're here for some music, so:

• Google Drive download link this way! (204 MB)
• Streaming on Mixcloud (which may reveal the tracklist) over here!
• And just in case, backup direct S3 download link (expires in 24 hours) this way (204 MB).

See you at 8 PM GMT!
