I’m really happy to say that I’ll be joining Oxford’s own Raiders… DJ Crew at Tap Social on Saturday 31st August. The full line up is:
Rabbit Hole Ed
Nico Jo
Tiger Mendoza
Yaya Jojo
Yaya and I have been hoping to do something together since we came up with Wheedle Scratch so yeah it should be fun.
Doors are at 7pm and entry is free (not too mention that Tap Social do some amazing craft beers brewed on site!). Check out the event on Facebook for more info.
Just a quick reminder that I’ll be doing a semi-acoustic set alongside the amazing Asher Dust this Saturday as part of Here Comes the Sun festival at The Rising Sun Arts Centre in Reading. The Rising Sun is one of my favourite venues to play and here Comes the Sun is a great fundraiser with some great acts playing throughout the day. Advance ticket ticket are available for £8 from WeGotTickets or on the door for £10. Check out the poster below for the full lineup.
You wait ages for one then 4 come along at once. Or something I don’t know. Anyway, a whole bunch of remixes I did a while a back have appeared on various streaming sites at the a similar time so I thought I would pull them together.
![Modern Art Oxford – Yard Summer Session [Free Download]](https://www.tigermendoza.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_20190619_175451.jpg)
I was fortunate enough to spend a lovely sunny afternoon playing tunes in the Modern Art Oxford yard before the brilliant Catgod took to the stage as part of the free Yard Summer Sessions which accompany the current exhibition by Claudette Johnson. It was also my first opportunity to properly road test the NI Traktor S2 Mk3 DJ controller which I got just before Christmas. I’ll do another post on the controller soon I think but mostly it worked well. Apart from 1 minor edit right at the start because I forgot to press record, this is a 100% live recording (including a small hiccup where I stopped the track…).
Cheers to everyone that boogied with us and said nice things. I’d love to do more DJ sets so if you’re interested get in contact using the contact form or on the usual social media channels. Tracklisting and Soundcloud link after the jump.

…or Compliments Of The Season as my family would say. I would normally do an end of year mix thingy and / or a free download but to be honest things have been a bit crazy in Mendoza land so unfortunately there’s no mix yet BUT I wanted to give you something so here’s a silly little beat I’ve been playing with.
And just because a feel bad about not doing a mixtape this year, here’s a special playlist with some of my favourite tracks of the year. Who knows, I may turn it in to an actual mixtape in the new year.
I’ve got to give a special mention to Laughing Lamb (aka Pete) who made one of my favourite albums of the year but hasn’t put it on Spotify. Listen / download on Bandcamp.
