DB Mix Series 3 – What's In A Name?

It's been four months since the last DB Mixes were posted and now it appears to be a tradition to post them on the 16th day of the month posted. Today also happens to be Bryan's birthday!

For those unfamiliar with these music challenges—my cousin Bryan and I alternately choose a concept, we each choose the appropriate number of songs, make a playlist, share with each other, then I mix the playlists, design the album art, and share with you! You can check out the previous DB Mixes here.

The concept this month was chosen by Bryan—each of us was to pick an artist for each letter of our full names and make a mix. The songs and artists that we chose for each other's names should also represent each other's musical tastes. To avoid confusion, remember that the large name on the nametag of each cover (along with the names of the files that you can download below) is the opposite cousin than the one who created the compilation.

To recap one of our rules—we never tell each other which songs we are going to pick, so the mixes are a surprise for us both. We happen to have a lot of the same artists/songs in our respective (and large) music libraries and we often share artists/songs, so sometimes we choose the same songs or artists for these mixes.

This time around we both chose the same Röyksopp song, we both chose a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion song, we both chose a Brian Eno song, and we both chose an Autolux song.
