Outlook Festival Mixtape


Joe has put this mixtape together in a nod to our appearance at Outlook in Croatia in September – ‘Europe’s biggest Bass Music and Soundsystem Culture festival’. Unlike previous mixtapes, this one is focused on beats around 140bpm, including an eclectic selection of reworkings and mashups..

New Mixtape – ‘Night Walks on Vinyl’

To celebrate the release of the ‘Night Walks’ album on deluxe vinyl (thanks to Denovali Records), Joe of Hidden Orchestra has put together this studio mixtape. Like the preceding ‘Footsteps Mix’, this carefully-sculpted selection rewards close listening, and contains numerous exclusive tracks, lots of sound design and plenty of spoken word. Features other Scottish artists (Macmaster/Hay, Araya, Christ., Mungo’s Hi Fi, Architeq) alongside artists from around the world (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Prefuse 73, Jean-Claude Vannier, DJ Shadow, Nick Drake, Xploding Plastix and many more). Also field recordings from Edinburgh to Istanbul, and speech excerpts include a number of plays that Joe recorded for the BBC.

You can stream the mix directly from Mixcloud.
You can download the mix in 320kbps mp3 from the excellent Paris DJs website.
Vinyl available to order from Denovali Records.

Thank you.

  • “…the band had a sound which took simplicity and basic form to a whole new level. I was literally blown away, jaw to the floor style. It was like trip-hop combined with a classical music approach, some unreal break downs and then really heavy sections of spine tingling bass and strings.” — Andy Sharp, earz-mag.com
