Astral Vibes' Acid Memories - Special guest mix by The Cowboys From Sweden (2025)

I hope everybody out there is doing well!  I'm happy to share another guest mix I just did for Astral Vibes' excellent NTS show called Acid Memories.  This is my second guest mix for the Acid Memories show.  This time around, since it's summertime, I thought I would keep the mood a little lighter and more playful than usual, but naturally there are still a few detours into the dramatic as I like to do.  An hour long mix filled with rare euro-pop, soundtracks, library music, bossa nova and other psychedelic excursions from the 60s and 70s.  Thanks to Franck for having me again!

As usual, thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the new mix!

(Originally aired on NTS Radio on July 30th, 2025.)

NEW LINK (2025) - Astral Vibes' Acid Memories - Special guest mix by The Cowboys From Sweden (2022)

Back with a new mix!  I had the honor of doing a guest mix for Astral Vibes' excellent NTS radio show called Acid Memories which centers around psychedelia of all persuasions.  Here you'll find a slightly abbreviated trip (60 minutes) through the many faces of 60s and 70s psychedelia.  Spacey melodies, driving explorations in fuzz, trippy folk music, tasty French obscurities, colorful library grooves, over the top pop and beyond.  A nice little musical detour for your ever racing mind. 

Originally aired on NTS Radio (London).

Enjoy.

The Cowboys From Sweden - Live all vinyl DJ set from Beech Street Parlor (2013)

 

Flashback to 2013 (or possibly before)...  In the darkened corner of a dimly lit bar, behind a pair of turntables and a mixer surrounded by crates of vinyl sit myself and my buddy Robbie.  All evening we share drinks, funny conversations and musical trivia as we proceed to select and play songs into the wee hours of the night. Each of us assigned to one turntable, taking turns trying to compliment each other's selections, or one up each other (depending on how late it was getting and how many drinks we had) in a duel that lasts for hours.  Many live sets were performed at Beech Street Parlor together over the years.  Sadly the bar is now closed down.  Thankfully some of our live sets were broadcasted on the radio and some were recorded and archived.  Here is a good three hours of one of the many live sets we performed there.  I hope you enjoy it and let the music take you back to simpler times.

And keep a lookout for a new Cowboys mix in July!

Thanks for lending me your ears all these years.  Wishing you all the best.

NEW LINK (2025) - Smoke 2: Compiled & Mixed by The Cowboys From Sweden (2017)

The Cowboys from Sweden return with "Smoke 2", the first sequel in my series of mix tapes as The Cowboys from Sweden... Not especially related in any specific way to my mix from 2009 (Smoke), other than the fact that this is a pretty beat heavy mix.  But really this is the darker more dramatic little brother of Smoke.  Plenty of heavy breaks and groovy bass lines on this one.  Some wild arrangements from some of the Italian library composers, introspective grooves and haunting atmospheres.  Even a few jazzy moments here and there (don't let the word jazz scare you away).  An entirely instrumental (lyric free anyway) mix with the exception of two tracks.  Over all this is a heavy mix of dark funk and psychedelic grooves, dramatic themes and murky/smokey atmospheres.  Drums, bass, organs, vibes!!! I hope you enjoy it!
