Hello everyone!

There will be no, NO LOVE LOST MIXTAPE upload this week. The next upload will happen on July 4th. In the meantime I have a couple of non-NO LOVE LOST mix recommendations that have been shaking my iPod to the ground this week. The first is SINDEN'S absolutely brilliant mix for WE MAKE IT GOOD, consisting of almost 100% exclusive tunes that (basically) only Graeme has at the moment. The second is CROOKERS incredible BBC RADIO 1 Essential Mix from last weekend. Downloads and tracklisting via the links below -- Lee

Hello everyone,

First up, my apologies for this weeks NO LOVE LOST upload happening a day later than planned, my excuse being a couple of dates I had with some huge bassbins being driven by the mighty sounds of RADIOCLIT and SKREAM. A worthy excuse for later registration, I'm sure you'll agree.

Before we get to the four hours of the incredible music we have lined-up for you this week, I just wanted to remind you to invite your friends to join THE MIXTAPE PROJECT via the link below. We are rapidly closing in on our first goal of having 3000 members on-board by July, which is absolutely fantastic, so keep it up; we can't do it without you. The more people we sign-up, the more mixes we can bring you.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO THE MIXTAPE PROJECT HERE: THANKS!!! - Lee

http://www.zshare.net/audio/13939025a3fddcd9/

Our headline mix this week comes courtesy of the ridiculously talented NIC SARNO, one of Italy's freshest upcoming producers, bar none. Delivering a mix so vibrant and forward thinking that you'll probably think it's already June 2009 by the time it screeches to its thunderous flash finish. Featuring the mind warping sounds of bassronauts FLYING LOTUS, GASLAMP KILLER and jelly mold mayhem of bassbin ravers FOAMO, RENE VAN MUSTER, DROP THE LIME, WONGO, CONGOROCK (NLLR Mix 09) and MACHINES DON'T CARE, this mixtape unfolds like a bass incensed banshee. In a word, incredible!

http://www.zshare.net/audio/136099493800268e/

The current issue of excellent U.S. dance music magazine XLR8R (download a PDF of the entire issue for free at the link below) has an article on the new wave of exciting DJs and producers all hailing from Italy, featured in the article are previous No Love Lost Mixtape project guests THE BLOODY BEETROOTS (NLLR Mix 12,) CONGOROCK (NLLR Mix 09 ,) 3 IS A CROWD (NLLR Mix 22) alongside CROOKERS, BLATTA & INESHA and London based bad boy MOWGLI (NLLR Mix forthcoming.) There are however three extremely talented Italian's noticeable by their absence in XLR8R's otherwise solid article, the supremely fresh CLARK ABLE (NLLR Mix 52,) the musically dexterous NIC SARNO (NLLR Mix forthcoming) and royal club thumper HIS MAJESTY ANDRE. Lucky for all concerned then HIS MAJESTY ANDRE obliged my request to produce an exclusive mixtape for NO LOVE LOST, delivering a polished, velvety smooth mixture of upscale Fidget and House and provides us with yet further proof that Italy is indeed a true hotspot for vine ripe dance music talent at the moment.
