Our touring buddies SBTRKT and Sampha did a great job covering Blue Cassette in their Radio 1 Live Lounge Session. You can listen to it here

This is a short mix I compiled during a hazy, post NYE slumber.  
It comprises of some favourites of 2011 as well as old gems that have a close place in my heart.
Its easy to be pessimistic at the start of a new year, but these songs keep me optimistic and hopeful.
