This mix takes a mucky kaleidoscopic flight that starts off in dark branches, and slowly angles toward a golden slice of moon in a warm night sky.

This mix is fueled by amazing memories, as well as a great sadness that a like-minded individual and friend has died. The punk music in this mix is a fairly typical play list from the old days. These songs really bring me back to the best years of my friendship with Kevin, and the politics of this music will always resonate with me.

This mix floats between eerie tensions and uneasy openings. The tracks are like my garden--organic, spacious, somewhat orderly but messy in places, and potentially delicious.

This mix is casual and uplifting in a spaced out kind of way. It's inspired by the fresh spring air blowing through my open window.

This mix is full of smoke, dusty photographs and reminiscence and is an aggregate of my favorite tracks to come out for a long while--there's definitely a vibe here that references a lot of the electronic music that makes up the foundation for what I listen to (and listen for) in current releases.

This mix is, for the most part, a heavy one. It is dedicated to anyone who has ever stood up to corruption, convention or 'common sense' and said "No. Things don't have to be this way." You are my heroes.

This mix is a space epic, inspired by all the other inhabitable planets out there.

This mix is a festive toast to comfortable company, and some of the best cooking and baking I've ever eaten in my life.

I've been really into two fairly specific styles of track lately. One is spacey and moody, ethereal or 'ghost-like.' The other is more organic, with sounds sampled from 'traditional' instruments. This mix marries these two styles and incorporates a definite 'tip of the hat' to the classic early 90s era of electronic music.

This is a travelling mix, so to speak--inspired by a lust for life... and rain on the windshield.

This mix is wistful, eclectic and is the third part of what has become a summer trilogy including the Flotation Device and Hot and Bothered mixes. It is inspired by the joys that can come with change, and the ability to comfortably let go of the past.

This mix is lively and fun. I mix up the beats a bit as well. There are breakbeats, 'bmore' beats, lo-fi and hi-fi beats... and plenty of bass to shake things up a bit.

This mix is all about the lighter things. It's more a pound of feathers than a pound of lead, if you catch my drift, and is inspired by how a good laugh can sometimes change everything.

With this mix I go back to basics: make it sound like something is either happening, or about to happen. The result is a stormer--perfect for road trips to old cities, visits to small islands, and flights, both international and fanciful.

I’ve never been very good at celebrating milestones in my life, but today I’m happy to say that this mix roughly marks the two year anniversary of jimrebel.com. This mix is fraught with tension, and was heavily inspired by the voices a seventh cup of coffee can bring to a sleepless mind.

This mix is a bit spooky. It's inspired by the breathing sounds I heard in the hallway the other day, and how I felt when I called out and realized there was no one there.

"Lightening Up" is a small collection of tracks that I've been listening to a lot lately. I think the tone of the mix reflects my own tearily happy mood. It's sure nice to get some good news.

This one is a mix-heavy affair, and was inspired by my old disco 7"s from when I was a kid. If I hadn't listened to those tracks thousands of times during my formative years I'd be a different person today.

This mix swims darkly. I've selected these tracks mainly for their texture and moodiness--reflections of light on the surface of a deep and ever present abyss.

This mix is a bit of a long'un at just over two hours, and it's a tribute to enjoying the simple things this summer like stashing a bottle of vodka in your beach bag, drinking a spiked slushie on the bus or enjoying a nice cold six-pack in the parking lot next to the beer and wine...

This is something of a Lifelike tribute mix. I think that Lifelike is the best remixer of 2008 (so far) and his tracks are so perfect for summer. Here are my favorite Lifelike tracks and a few songs that have a similar vibe in a fifty minute mix that's just perfect for beach ghetto blaster action this season.

This mix is much more subtle and spacious than my last few mixes. It runs just over an hour and has some of my favorite tech-style tracks from the past month or so...

This is a small mix (37mins) of slightly more minimal tracks that I think makes a friendly companion to the spacehaus mix.

This mix starts off in a chaise lounge at a day-party in my backyard (or yours), then after smoking too much weed it decides to go for an uneasy (yet psychedelically meaningful) walk. A little later it comes back to the party and 'drinks the fear away' while pumping up it's bike tires to go for what turns out to be the sweetest, most epic seaside bike ride of all time.

This mix is a little different. After the crazy intensity of my last few dancefloor-centric outings I really wanted to make a mix with some of the more 'indie' sounding songs I've had on repeat lately...

This is a minimix compared to my last post; it's 18 tracks in about 50 mins. I start out heavy on the dancefloor, take a brief vacation, and bring it home fully tripped out.

It's Fall, a time for change. And since I've had so much on my plate lately, I've been spending way too much time procrastinating and sifting through all of the the rad new releases of this past month. Here are twenty five of the sickest offerings of Fall 2007 in a 58 minute mix...

This has been an incredible season for tracks. Anything from low fidelity indie disco treats to spooky vocal numbers to hands in the air dancefloor fillers to tricked out classics to weird heavy rollers to dance rock remixes... and on and on. It's all here in this fresh multinational mix...

So much music I hear these days is completely centered around immediate gratification; catchy maximalism to get drunk and rock out to... and I'm all for it. But there's another part of me that craves something deeper...

I'm spinning mostly techno these days, but I felt compelled to do a tribute mix for Jackie Mittoo, the Keyboard King of Studio One. He was a true genius on the keyboards, and I could only imagine what kind of music he'd be making with today's technology if he were still with us.
