I'm confused.

From the 'latest news' tab of the main site:

"To put a nice bow on top of the year, Tom has put together a special holiday mix for all of you!"

So that's actually a James Holroyd mix ?

You were there, do you think he was miming it? I thought this had to be mixed by the Chems but now I'm not so sure.

Maybe he let the mix play in its entirety at some point?

Wow, good find. So Boggy pressed the play button that night? Or his mix is now released. Didn't anybody hear that edit of TPWHYN that night?

I'm obviously not sure of it now. I know he was DJing when I arrived (the usual Holroyd style : slow tracks so well-faded into each other that you can't tell them apart even if you know them, which is very rare anyway) but I actually don't remember checking if it was still him playing when it was the Chems tracks (I think I was in the queue to the food busker when it started). I only assumed it was him because the mix is composed of slow tracks so it fitted his style.
What I'm sure of is that nobody told us that this mix was from Tom (let's consider it is, I trust them !) but it's the exact same one that aired just before the screening (hadn't noticed the new version of Pills but with all the crowd noise I might have missed this detail, at least I got the setlist right) so it's a few months old.

Interesting. You certainly did nail the track list back in August.

A downtempo Chems mix was long overdue, and considering the vibe of the Late Night Psychotronic Mix, I'm inclined to believe this is Tom's work.

Gonna work it out...

Also, did anyone remember that there was going to be a vinyl giveaway with the free mix? This is from the News section:

This is pretty cool, and even though I know that no one from the forum ever wins these giveaways, I've got my fingers crossed. Never got a copy when they were first sold.

I checked the link for the Velodrome vinyl quite recently and it was still on sale. So I'm guessing they didn't all sell out as some of us expected. And I imagine that's why there are some copies to give away.
