Quite old but, nonetheless, incredible. Here's what Twitch has to say:
Here's the sixth in a series of mixes where we present something a little different. The first few songs are segued together and then the rest are mixed, but the mixing is purely functional as a way to join the songs together with each song appearing more or less in its entirety.
This mix is called 'Cold War' and is a sequel to the 'Electrobeat' mix. Almost all the records included here are from the very early 80's and to me conjure up the atmosphere of the Cold War when a sense of imminent dread permeated the air. These artists channeled that atmosphere into something unique and individual and left behind a legacy of originality that still sounds incredible but has sadly (largely) been forgotten. Stylistically the songs come from quite different places but there is a thread that unites them together. The mix starts off quite gently but progresses into something rather dark and intense - it's probably not for everyone, but creatures of the night might enjoy it.
