Monster Raving Loony Parties (2010)

 

As with the last post (Banging Atoms), this is a kind of Electro House / Tech kind of mix. I think for the most part, apart from a track here or there, most of the tunes haven't aged well, they were kind of their time. Some might disagree, and that's fair enough too, but as I mentioned in the previous post, I wasn't ever truly sold on a lot of the tunes in these mixes, it was mostly just experimenting with different genres for me and having a little fun using CDJ's.

The back story to the title and cover is that when this mix was done we (in the UK) were in the midst of an election period, which was unfortunately the beginning of the Tories grip over the levers of power that eventually led us to the shit show of Brexit amongst many other things. Monster Raving Loony Party is actually a fringe party / movement in the UK, so it was a play on that, raving / parties and the cover features the main players of Labour who lost the election, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats who were in a coalition during the term of that Parliament. It was a disaster that we'll be feeling the impact of for generations to come.
