Pump up the ridiculousness

Like all the best ravers, we absolutely LOVE breakneck, bonkers, madder-than-your-gran-when-she’s-on-gin-‘n‘-pills mixtapes. Especially ones that are ‘eclectic’.

A while back we told you about a ‘crush mix’ that our New Favourite Producers Pirate Soundsystem had done for Xfm. That was a 100mph race through a series of rave classics new and old, and featured delights including Whigfield singing over the top of Vitalic.

Now it’s the turn of eccentric and brilliant Scouse electro poppers To My Boy (who we mentioned in Spinning Around a few weeks ago), who’ve put together their very own mix for people to play “at MySpace parties while causing £20,000 worth of damage to somebody else's parents' house”.

Starting off with a steroid-abusing ‘SexyBack’, this party animal takes in many old school highlights (including Kenny Dope and Techno-fucking-tronic) as well as some more recent ‘cuts’.

It’s a lot of fun too - where else could you expect to hear M.I.A. newie ‘XR2’ (which is amazing, FYI) segueing into Paul Simon’s ’classic’ ’You Can Call Me Al’? Not many places, is the unfortunate answer.

Download the mix and read the superbly-punctuated blog post that accompanies it…
