The Mystery Mixes: Every month we post a phenomenal mix of overlooked music and throw down the gauntlet: can you spot it?

Kelvin Andrews & Balearic Mike August 2010

Kelvin Andrews and Balearic Mike have been about the north-west scene for more years than either care to remember, Kelvin as part of Sure Is Pure and various other nefarious outfits, Mike as part of LuvDup and behind the counter at Manchester's record stores. Together they produced the Down To The Sea And Back. This is their mystery version of that mix. Enjoy.

Ginger Pig July 2010

Ginger Pig has been mixing music since the early 90s after first hearing hardcore tapes at the back of the bus. That immediately lead to connecting his gran's hi-fi turntable to a midi system through a mixer with no crossfader and trying to beatmatch charity shop records and rave CDs. He has since got some Technics decks but still can't keep away from charity shops.
