Last year I asked my friend Mathew Patalano to make a mix for my site; now it’s finally here. It’s a collection of Mat’s favourite garage cuts from the 60s and more recent times. It’s amazing to see so many personal favourites in there, like the perhaps best ever Dovers song, and the Früt of the Loom single I only just lost out on on Ebay. The track by The Novas, both sides of the Illusions 45, The Answer and the Sounds Unlimited are all mainstays of the Record Turnover turntables too. One of the exclusive tracks here, and perhaps the biggest surprise, comes from The Lovin’ Kynd. This band featured Mat’s father and has always been an influence on his recording projects. Currently, Mat has a regular night in NYC called Scream Loud! and the track it’s named after is also included. The Quests, who do this number, are perhaps more known for having cut the ferocious “I’m Tempted”, which was their preceding single for the Fenton label.
