This is the online archive of the mixtapes I've put together over the years, and as always, production work and other nonsense is available from my MySpace or my blog. Where two download links are provided, the first one will usually be faster but may time-out during peak traffic times (i.e. US office hours). The second one should always work. Due to the number of people requesting unsplit mixes for their old-ass iPods, I've uploaded the monolithic versions now too.
If you want to be notified whenever I post one of these slices of awesomeness, you can subscribe to my mailing list by sending an email to sleeping-gimp-announcements-subscribe@googlegroups.com. I promise to only use it for announcements and helping out my Nigerian friends with their money offloading troubles.
Alternatively, you could visit my blog (or slurp the feed) where I can also be found ranting and raving about how good my tunes are. So many options for hearing about me me me! You lucky monkeys.
If you're feeling the tunes, please drop me an email (at glen dot coates at gmail dot com) or leave a comment on the blog.
NOTE: It has come to my attention that occasionally these downloads get corrupted. That could be for any number of reasons, such as my penchant for uploading corrupted files, or the hamster I pay to run my website might be on a ciggie break, or it could be that I pay $2 a month for web hosting and that means the network connections are likely to be cups and pieces of string. It seems to work most of the time, but if you get unlucky, persevere, and the tubes of the internets will eventually be kind to you.
A Squillion Dollars

handy hints for your next global hostage-taking, including seminars by
evil masterminds such as Barry White, James Brown, Daft Punk, and J
Dilla.
