Tinlicker - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix (2024)

The weekend has landed, and we need something to unwind. It's been a bit of a week, and it's going to be a bit of a weekend, but I won't bore you with the details, as it's not really interesting. But to get us through this weekend, and get us ready for next weekend, the perfect mix has landed on my desk, by accident. I wasn't technically looking for it, but I stumbled across it, and now I'm hooked. A mix so damn good, it baffles me that I've not discovered this duo before. It's obviously the Essential mix by a duo called Tinlicker. During the beginning it's explained where the names comes from, but it still makes no sense to me.

I heard their massive song 'Just To Hear You Say' a couple of weeks ago, and it blew my mind away. Started to look for more Tinlicker, and that's when I came across their Essential mix. And boy, did it not disappoint. This is hard as hell. But deep on so many levels. I don't know if licking a tin is required for you to enjoy it as much as I have, but you could give it a try. Be careful with the edges on the tin, they might be a tad sharp.

This aired last year, and as I never listen to the radio anymore, I missed it. But thankfully I have discovered this 2 hour long set. It is so glorious, and the tracks selected are so deep and fantastic. And it contains so much more. The majority of records I've not heard before, but they are etched into my mind for the rest of my life. This mis has been on repeat since the moment I discovered it, and it's not leaving my side any day soon. This is one of those mixes which you will listen to, until you completely insane.

I've already listened to it enough to fully picture the mix in my head, knowing exactly each song, knowing when they start, etc. Fantastic.

This mix has got everything, and it makes you feel a lot. Emotions run wild throughout this mix. And it's packed with Tinlicker songs, remixes and edits. So if you've never heard of Tinlicker, like myself, this is a fantastic treat. Christmas has come early this year, and the Summer isn't over yet!

I've listened to this mix a lot of times, and it's made journeys to work much more pleasant. My heart beat slows down, and I feel more at ease with everything. This mix contains everything to make you feel again. Deep emotions. But with a knipoog, obviously. (that's a Dutch word, look it up).

The whole mix is splendid. They do take you on a pleasant journey. But what baffles me, is that around the 7 minute mark, I get stuck. Kelly Moran's 'Helix', edited by Tinlicker, that's my jam. And the song I have on repeat. What a wonderful and majestic song. The intro itself is fantastic, and the rest of the mix too, but this song... it blows me away. Probably my favourite record as of now, and it will remain in my top 5 for a very, very long time.

Tinlicker, whatever the name means, has created a beast of a mix. I want to hear more now, and thankfully, their Soundcloud is filled with more beautiful anthems. Go and check them out. I know I will do exactly that. But for now, 'Helix' will go on repeat again.
