Digital Crates 002 x Patreon x Mixcloud x Merch

Back again with another eight hours of music. I hope you’ve been enjoying Digital Crates 001 (if you’ve even gotten around to listening to the whole thing by now). The music is all currently streaming at Mixcloud, but a dошиlоads post oughta be dropping any of these days now... Currently, Patreon subscribers have access to a spreadsheet with Digital Crates 001’s tracklistings, timestamps, and sample/example info:

That's avaialble for Digital Crates 002 as well. All of this information will of course be accessible once SOTY2022 drops, but in the meantime, as a thank you, all patrons (thank you!) have already received a sneak-peak (313 tracks and counting...; I see you on slsk, n1mr0d!) The Patreon payout structure is way less convoluted than Mixcloud’s subscription service, which works as follows:

All generosity is appreciated. Though as you can tell, Patreon $upport reaches me much more directly than the Mixcloud Select alternative. Just wanted to be up-front about how all this works (because I myself am only just learning about it all). But anyway, on to some music… Digital Crates 002 breaks down as follows:

The first 4 hours:
Examples 2022, corresponding track-by-track to the 6 hours of samples featured in Digital Crates 001*

The last 4 hours:
more Samples of the Year 2022

*If you’re desktop-listening and wanna play samples to examples side-by-side, I recommend you open each mix in a separate tab, and bounce around between the two at your leisure. Or not. Up to you. (Or if you’re strictly mobile devicing it up, get the Mixcloud app. It’s a bit more functional than browser-listening on the phone.) Just have fun with it. I myself have been enjoying practicing a little bass while listening to these mixes…

Much appreciated. Thank you. Providing resources to DJs and all music lovers is why I’m still doing this. Oh, and I guess I’ve got some “merch” now, too? Click2cop:
