Swingfest 2013 London - Free download

In anticipation of Denovali Record's Swingfest, they've put together a 21 track free sampler of something from all corners - Fennez, Andy Stott and Thoms Koner are all favourites, but there's a broad range of artists on the sampler that you've likely never heard much of. From sludge rock and classical piano to techno and industrial, it's a fine mixtape.

DJ Goatface Killah Presents... "Ave Satanas"

DJ Goatface Killah made a name for himself at the Satanic Toga Party a few months back by supplying the devil-worshipping revellers with a soundtrack of non-stop Dark Lord-themed hits. This being the witching season, we asked him to do a Satanic mix for Shallow Rave, and here it is. It's rather bloody good too, and surprisingly features nothing from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (no, that's a different Iron Maiden). HAIL SATAN! \m/

Worst Chips Ever

Friend of Shallow Rave Daniel Baker has started a new mixtape blog called Worst Chips Ever. There are two mixes to download there at the moment, one a comp of music released by Sublime Frequencies, and the other a comp of somewhat bizarre vocal music. Both come highly recommended. Dan also spouts off about music and his personal health problems (in an amusing way) on his main blog Devil, Can You Hear Me? That's Dan in the photo above, with a monkey on his back.
