Eclectic Head Check 8
This one quickly became an homage of sorts to Radiohead. After being blown away by "Lotus Flower" and much of the other material from their new album, I couldn't help but reflect on the band's influence on progressive music. With every release, they bring back together all the fans of these myriad disparate strands of edgy, groove-based music – electro/house, downbeat, post-dubstep, soul-jazz, rock – basically, modern psychedelic music… Each time, they bring back to center, so to speak, everyone to remark on and marvel at the ease with which Radiohead blows heads.
The commonly accepted story is that psychedelic music was born from rock and roll in the sixties. I say it goes back further, to the jazz musicians stepping out with "avant-garde" and "hard bop" forms of the art in the fifties (Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and so many more). Whatever the case, Radiohead continues to be the clear torchbearer – the bellwether – for psychedelic music, and I hope this mix evokes the spirit of their recordings (it won't hurt that I used a couple of their recordings, haha). Enjoy the trip.
Download the mix here.
Track List:
1) the Black Keys - Tighten Up
2) Radiohead - Lotus Flower
3) SFV Acid - New West Coast
4) Radiohead - Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
5) Floating Points - K&G Beat
6) the Jimi Hendrix Experience - If 6 was 9 (excerpt)
7) the Mamas and the Papas - Monday, Monday
8) Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
9) White Denim - Say What You Want
10) Shigeto - Escape From the Incubator

Eclectic Head Check 7
Deep house and James Brown (always a winning combination) and everything in between. It's hard to believe this is number 7 in the series, and I'm not sure how many people actually listen to these, but it's just a lot of fun to put them together. Please enjoy.
Track listing:
1) Floating Points Ensemble - Post Suite
2) Sabrina Malheiros - Cade Voce (Max Cole and Beatnik remix)
3) James Brown - My Thang
4) Laidback - God Can't Stop
5) Underworld - Spikee
6) Cut Chemist - the Garden
7) Ocote Soul Sounds - Coconut Rock
8) Sea Wolf - You're a Wolf
9) Tame Impala - Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind
10) Savage Skulls & Douster - Bad Gal (ft. Robyn)
11) Caribou - Sun
12) Shigeto - Look at All the Smiling Faces
I desperately wanted to include this in the mix, but couldn't find an Mp3 anywhere. I have the CD and this is supposed to be a bonus track, but that must be for the British version or something. Definitely let me know if you can track down this tune. Still worth checking out on YouTube with poor audio quality:
