2025 (Preview Mix)
Saturday, 21 February, 2026

At Centuries of Sound I am making mixes for every year of recorded sound. The download here is a placeholder to appear on the podcast feed. For the full 4½-hour version either see below for the Mixcloud player, or come to patreon.com/centuriesofsound for the podcast version and a host of other bonus materials for just $5 per month. Mixcloud player with full mix – or listen on the Mixcloud website. Somehow this is (easily) the longest mix I ever made. I thought about breaking it up, but no, four and a half hours it is. Here is your tracklist, the spoken samples are too short and too numerous to list. 0:00:00 PinkPantheress – Illegal 0:02:46 Eev Francis – Burstintotears 0:04:44 Miimii KDS – Sé Miimii 0:06:41 Billy Woods – Misery (feat.
