Volume 04: Alex XXXChange
Alex XXXChange, mad genius and moustache twister behind Spankrock’s Yoyoyoyoyo, has created an amazingly selected mix of film scores and other movie related sounds for the 4th installment of our We Make It Good Mix series. More of a conceptual compilation than a full blown DJ mix, Alex’s contribution is a methodically plotted journey across the cinematic map from Bollywood to Beetlejuice with plenty of Repo Man swirling around for extra texture. Download to your iSomething, take it for a walk, soak-in the Lattice Of Coincidence, and keep your eyes peeled for the always elusive shrimp plate.
