Europop 2008: The Muxtape
Enjoy the top sounds of Europop 2008 - without spanking our bandwidth! FIPA’s technical committee has completed its report, and so the Poptimism Muxtape returns with the cream of the Europop tournament - two tracks from winners Switzerland, one each from the other seven knockout stage contenders, and a smattering of Group Stage treats. Apologies if your track wasn’t selected - Muxtape is temperamental, and keeps refusing some perfectly valid MP3s, so Turkey in particular lost out as two fine tracks went AWOL. I have just been listening to this Muxtape and I think it sounds GREAT, despite no thought whatsoever being given to “mixing”.
If that selection has your toes tapping you might like to know that I will be playing a EUROPOP 2008 set at Poptimism THIS SATURDAY - check the link at the top right of the page for more details. It’s our fifth birthday so my later set will most likely be a celebratory mix of all-time Poptimism classics. Schni schna! Also we have guest DJs Alix and Eli who will be fulfilling the customary guest DJ duty of playing better sets than the main DJs.

Interestingly of the two Swiss tracks you have picked, the Moonraisers one is the only Swiss track which actually lost a match (well it drew under the first round qualification rules, but Portugal did get more votes than it). It is still mental.
