Pandemonium Jones - Splendid Moments 2008 Mix

As we move into 2009 I thought I’d try and compile a couple of “Best of” mixes that I’ve seen on the interweb. The first is stolen from the Sound Verite’ Blog; “Splendid Moments 2008″ is the work of Pandemonium Jones of the DJ duo Cap & Jones. The mix jumps around a few genres and offers a freakin’ awesome re-cap on what’s been hot this year, from the Philly resident. Its pretty damn nice and I’m ashamed to say it has introduced me to a heap of tracks that I’d missed…

Splendid Moments

Pandemonium Jones has this to say on the the mix:

My friend Khris asked me to contribute a mix of some of my favorite songs for the year to be shared via his blog, Rock The Dub, “the least jiggy and the most no frills” digital thought outpost on the internetto, and I was only too happy to oblige as he is an old and dear chum and he rocks a fine dub. The mix is called “Splendid Moments” and I think it lives up to the title. Many artists and genres of music are conspicuously absent, so it does not reflect my Overall Favorite Songs Hands Down, but it contains a lot of songs that dropped my jaw this year. I’m very pleased with the results and I hope you like it, too.

As usual its all free, if you have spotted any other “Best of 2008″ mixes that deserve attention then drop them in the comments below.
