Fradleybox's 2010 Instrumental Mix!

Here's what fradleybox said:

I don't make any grand, egotistical claims like this is the "best of" instrumental music in the past year. They aren't the best instrumental albums of the year, either. Many of the albums these tracks come from are not themselves entirely instrumental. It is, however, a damn nice mix of some of the best instrumental tracks I've heard this year, and I hope you end up getting into one of these artists because you like their track.

so, download the mix here and enjoy

fradleybox 1st half of 2010 MIX!

When asked for a moment to reflect on the making of this 1st half of 2010 mix, fradleybox humbly said, "i tried to make it itunes friendly but who knows." In the war between RHMB Mix Blog and iTunes, it is good to know there is someone else in my war corner.

...oh wait, a little bit later he also said "made this specifically to cover the gaps in the other mixes (yours and blast-zone). i like some of that stuff too. and i know some of these acts won't be new to a lot of people (black keys, unkle, bedm, obv. bonobo, flying lotus, ret. gospel choir, etc too also)" [obv. = obviously, obv -ed]
