Caribou just dropped a 1000 song mixtape

You read that right, my friends. Appropriately, he calls it “The Longest Mixtape.”

Caribou, who will be in town really soon for Laneway Festival, dropped a 1000 track mixtape overnight. One. Thousand. Tracks.

We haven’t got a full tracklist, but just have a scroll through the YouTube playlist for a looksee. From what I can see so far, there’s an eclectic, wonderful blend of hip hop, electronic, jazz and more, including J Dilla, Kanye West, Todd Terry, Weather Report, John Coltrane, Wookie, Plastikman, Aaliyah, Brian Eno and a whooooole lotta people I’ve never heard of!

Note, YouTube only lets you embed 200 songs, so you’ll need to click through to YouTube to access the full 1000.

Caribou, aka Dan Snaith, left this note accompanying the mix:

NOTE: PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS PLAYLIST ON SHUFFLE.

The last few years of my life have been incredible, thanks in large part to all of you – so I’ve been thinking of how to say thank you.
As you can imagine, music has been a central love of my life since I was a teenager and over the years I’ve been introduced to a lot that has stayed with me. I’ve collected the majority of that music here – and I thought sharing it with you seemed like one way I could say thanks.

I’m sure some things are under-represented or over-represented, but roughly speaking this is a musical history of my life. Of course a lot of this music has come to me through my friends – thank you to Koushik, Kieran, Jeremy, Gary, Brandon, Jason, Sam, Ketan, Ryan, Toby and many others…
Also, please share music with me that you think I would like but is not included here, in the hope this becomes a dialogue rather than a monologue.

I suggest you listen to this on shuffle as I made no attempt to sequence these tracks – I just entered them as I browsed along the shelves in my record collection. If you see dead links or duplicate songs please tweet me @caribouband.

I hope you find something to enjoy here. Thanks,
Dan
