HIAF Guest Mix 7: Chaton (Plak:Switzerland)-The Lost Library
So straight out of Switzerland comes Chaton of Plak Records, with a 90 minute mix of old and new house music. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while as I got my net connection in London sorted, but I’ve also been listening to it on the way in and out of work. Chaton already has an Irish connection, having given John Daly one of his first few releases, and Plak will soon release an LP of sorts from Daly.
As for the mix, feel free to comment on it below. There’s no tracklist for this one, so you’ll have to work it out for yourself. More guest mixes coming very soon, one from across the Atlantic and another from across the channel. If you’ve any ideas for people you’d like to see featured, let me know below.
Edit: Here’s the tracklist:
DJ Shadow-Transmission 2-Mo Wax (Intro)
Pan American-Place Name-Vertical Form
Ali Kuru- A Long Way Down-Plak
Dennis Ferrer-Touched The Sky + Luciano-Tones (Chaton Edit)

Marvellously unhurried sounds! Love it. And the sun’s out.
I’d love to hear a mix from Agnes or Prosumer. Or maybe The Mole? Gutted to have missed him over the weekend.

Loving this mix, probably my favourite of the HIAF ones so far. We should get a proper tracklist going.

sounds like the ‘Joe’s Dub Beats’ version of Touched The Sky? good find - i don’t like the vocals much on the original…

Nice mix, I especially like it after 35mins where it fills up a little more.
Can anyone id the track 49mins? Bass & gamelans? I like it a lot!

heh that’s funny about “touched the sky”, I can remember recording a mix earlier this year and having to ensure I had it mixed out before that woeful vocal comes in, that edit is a godsend I reckon.

hmm what’s that ‘dance to my beat’ track? the bassline sounds like it belongs on the 8bit label, but maybe it’s old? anyone know?

Thanks a lot Joshua, it’s comments like that that make it worth while keeping a blog, as cheesy as that may sound!
Thanks everyone for all the great comments on this, one of the most well received mixes so far for definite.
