Five places to download DJ Mixes online

  1. DJ Greg J: LA DJ who does great mixes of US hip hop with occasional mainstream stuff. Released every couple of months.
  2. Bang Gang DJs podcast: a group of Sydney DJs including Ajax who do crazy electro mixes. Site not suitable for work.
  3. The Avalanches Mixes: this site hasn’t been updated in so long it is ridiculous but there is some great existing stuff on there including the top notch Some People mix.
  4. Beatonic: another site that hasn’t been updated that recently, but again, some exciting mixes already posted, quite breaksy.
  5. DJ Nick Toth: has some great reggae mixes available including Summertime mix and RnB vs House mix.

  1. I loved Satay Club!! You should try their Indonesian Fried Rice!
    If you like Indonesian Food, try to go to Dapur Bali at the Hawken Drive, St. Lucia.. =)

  2. Glad you like it. Thanks for the suggestion. I live and work in the city so I don’t venture out St Lucia way that often but I will definitely make the effort now!
