Malcolm Catto & Joe Beats mixes

It’s weird, I remember being quite underwhelmed by Malcolm Catto’s first album when it came out, but since hearing the heliocentrics album this year I’ve revisited it and it really kicks arse in a few places. Metropolis in particular sticks out, but the heliocentrics LP still wins for me, it’s definitely one of my favourite records of last year.
Anyway, there’s an excellent mix by him on the WE ARE podcast site:
