Next up in the ongoing Mix Battle Royale of August 2011 (yes, we just made this up…) is Brighton new kid Gross Magic and his selection for VICE. Titled ‘Vibe Forever’ – which we think he means in a ‘feelings’ rather than ‘sex toy’ way – it brings together tracks from Daniel Johnston, American jazz/funk/disco(ish) group The Fatback Band and new, new, new things from the likes of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Greatest Hits. It closes on an ELO track ‘Beatles Forever’, which writer Simon Reynolds might have something to say about… Listen to the mix below or download it at VICE.
