Live Review: FREE DOWNLOAD: Twinsy's Guest Mix for THE RIPE

18 January 2013 | 1:30 pm | Hannah Galvin

Twinsy have just recently given THE RIPE their personalised guest mix of their fave tracks. We had a look at it - it's good!

Guy Chappell of Yacht Club DJs and Michael Belsar of Hunting Grounds joined forces and make up the dream team that we all know and love as TWINSY. Ever since releasing their single 'Waterbombs', the boys have found the track on high rotation on the radio, not to mention sitting comfortably on many a iPod/Summer playlist/mix-up.

Having not been around for overly long, Twinsy have had the pleasure of supporting some great Aussie talents such as Last Dinosaurs and Hermitude. To add to such experiences, they've only just recently came back from touring with those rad Scottish jivers Django Django and their fellow supports Palms. Lucky dudes!

With their new single 'Back Of My Car' to be released next month, I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot of Twinsy for a long time yet.

To celebrate all their successes, THE RIPE had the pleasure of inviting the duo to conduct a special guest mix. The result is ecstatic.

Twinsy have formulated an extremely broad playlist, consisting of a variety of genres, eras and influences.

Kicking off with 'Bicycle' by Memory Tapes, go on a journey from one end of the spectrum to the other. Along the way, you'll pass by some white boy love that is Justin Timberlake (seriously, who doesn't love JT), the mild psychadelia of Tame Impala's 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards', the beat-heavy ride of TNGHT's 'Higher Ground' which soon evolves into the 1960s classic 'Nobody But Me' by The Human Beinz. To conclude this phenomena, the trip-hopping Portishead kiss us goodbye with their vague tale, 'The Drip'.

This mix is bursting with contrast, it's almost equivalent to blending a banana and a can of tuna together. The only difference with that is that Twinsy have actually created the tasteful concoction out of the two..

After finding yourself impressed with this range that Twinsy have mashed up, treat yourself with a free digital download from the Soundcloud upload!
