I recorded this mix for Dublab.com back in June and is now available on their website archive. I originally created it as a promo mix for Deep Covers 2 (though the timing was off since Dublab was back-logged over the summer). Still, I put in a nice selection of different cover songs here – some you’ve heard, some you haven’t. Here’s the tracklisting:

- Klaus Wunderlich – Summertime – Hammond Fur Millionen – Telefunken
- The Professionals – Theme From Godfather – On Tour – CES
- Dutch Rhythm Steel and Show Band – Down By the River – Soul, Steel and Show – Negram

- El Alamo – Candy – Malos Pensamientos – Decibel

- Nancy Holloway – Never Can Say GOodbye – 7″ – N/A
- Mark Holder – Sweet Caroline – Where THere’s a Will, There’s a Way – Deriva
And just because I wanted to be a good egg – I created a downloadable version of the mix, split into individual tracks (but no IDs written; I’m lazy – deal).
Enjoy! Hopefully I’ll be rolling back to Dublab to do another mix soon.
