ODi are one of the four featured acts for April 2009.

For more on ODi, visit ODi on MySpace.

This page will be updated following Playlist Mix 53 on Sunday April 12th.

We’re trucking on past the 50 mark and bring you Playlist Mix 51 with another six tracks from another six fine acts. Outside of the music world it’s been a great weekend here in Ireland – United lost, Chelsea lost, Liverpool hammered Aston Villa, Ireland won the Grand Slam, Bernard Dunne took a world boxing title so the podcast comes to you this weekend on a bit of a high.

I also made it along to the launch gig for Myp Et Jeep’s Blood Is Not Enough debut album release in Kilkenny tonight, the album hitting the shops this coming weekend, so there’s a track for you there in tonight’s mix.

All in all you’ve got music from

1. The Aftermath – All I Want Is For You To Be Happy
2. Reemo – Turn
3. Deerfoot – Hyperion
4. The Lions Mane – DNA 4
5. 4D Model – Rethink
6. Myp Et Jeep – Beware Of Sound

Next week’s podcast comes from Amsterdam, should be an interesting one. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line on Twitter or via email to podcast@playlistmix.com.

Until next week,

Enjoy.

Codaphonic released a great album in the shape of ‘The Ballad of Codaphonic’ over a year ago now with this track, Ritalin, lifted from it.

Senses Fail released their current album offering of ‘Life Is Not A Waiting Room’ in October last year and are currently touring (between February and April) as part of the Saints and Sinners Tour before starting a UK and European tour from mid April.

Enjoy today’s tunes and don’t forget to check back for the 49th Playlist Mix Podcast later on.

The fifth of 46 tracks for your lenten listening comes from Low Sea Roar, featured on Playlist Mix #5. San Francisco’s Low Sea Roar was formed in the wintry throws of January 2007 over beers and burgers at the Zeitgeist by Andrea Caturegli, Jake Hosek (both formerly of The Stratford 4), Adam Hain and Brandon Tomas.

Though featured back in late 2007, it’s looking like they’ve been fairly quiet or non-existant since mid to late 2008. Still, they did have some pretty good tunes and you can still grab a listen on their MySpace or download ‘Sirens’ below.

Track four for your lent listening is ‘Cold Truth’ from The Guggenheim Grotto. You’ll find this track on their ‘Lifetime In Heat’ EP released prior to the September 2005 issue of ‘…Waltzing Alone’, which went on to the top of the iTunes folk charts on its US release. While they’ve got a cult following in Ireland they seem to be making great inroads in the US having spent huge chunks of time there in the last two or three years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with (and playing with) the band on numerous occasions and they’ve featured previously on the podcast on show #7.

Formerly a three-piece and now a touring duo, Kevin May and Mick Lynch are The Guggenheim Grotto. These guys write terrific songs, are great performers and great to work with. They’ve been in the US since January and looks like they’re staying there until April when they come home for a short tour before heading back again in the summer. Reading their latest MySpace blog it looks like they’re back in the song-writing groove as well so hopefully it won’t be another three years before we get a follow-on to current album ‘Happy The Man’.

Visit GuggenheimGrotto.com to get your free copy of the EP or check the TGG MySpace.

Back when the podcast was a brain fart on a Sunday night, almost two years ago now, I’d been doing some digging around for some podsafe music and came across this gem of a track.

It’s a long one, ringing up at the post six-minute mark but it’s got a great feel to it. Very Radiohead inspired, reminding me of some of the Pablo Honey releases. They’ve been quiet (on the web front) over the bulk of the past year but last month they got around to uploading a new track, We Won’t Let You Drown, on the Infotourist MySpace.

Headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, Canada you can also find them on Infotourist.org.

This gem, ‘Have I Gone Astray’ is your first of 46 tracks for lent and is taken from Infotourist’s ‘Selected Case Studies’

The Playlist Mix returns – a week late with show 42 – with another six tracks for your listening pleasure. This week’s mix is a little more up tempo, total other end of the scale in comparison to the 41st show.

There’s tracks in this week’s mix from

1. Monosylabik – ‘Brake’
2. Pilgrim Speakeasy – ‘Over Dosile’
3. One Week From Wednesday – ‘Acrylic’
4. Null Device – ‘Twisting And Turning (Club Mix)’
5. Panda Transport – ‘La Fin Du Prince Charles’
6. Blame It On Society – ‘Landing Zone’

If this is your first time to listen to or download the Playlist Mix podcast I hope you enjoy it. If last week’s show (or two weeks ago) was one to sleep to or cruise to then this week’s mix is one to get up and going to.

Want to get in touch? Drop me a line by emailing podcast AT playlistmix DOT com.

Until next week,

Enjoy.

The 41st Playlist Mix lands almost in slow motion. For this week only your “in between” track changes out to some soft piano while all music is of a serious chillout nature.

Yes, winter is setting in, I’ve been downing a lot of tea for the day while working since first thing this morning and as a result, all I wanted to listen to and what you’ve got before you tonight is a healthy blend of chillout tunes from some of the finest chillout artists online.

There’s tracks this week from

1. Climax – ‘My Favourite Place’
2. Anji Bee – ‘Crossing The Pond’
3. Solstice Coil – ‘Brilliance’
4. Divasonic – ‘Processing…Luv (Return To Mono Mix)
5. The Atomica Project – ‘Gravity’
6. Sine – ‘Summer Rain’

Back with a dose of electronic and rock for you next week but for now, enjoy one very chilled out 41st Playlist Mix.

I’m chalking the delay down to a radio appearance last night cutting into my recording time, that and the fact that the house (and subsequently Studio B) was an absolute ice box.

Studio B had it’s hardware upgrade (for the podcasting section) last week and I’m still getting to grips with the new ProTools setup (I had a run at the weekend with some recording) so I reckon by the next show we should be running at full power audio-wise.
