Independent Label Market mixtape

The shining stars of British independent music are coming together to flog their wares tomorrow, from exclusive editions of Tri Angle's Lindsey Lohan tribute album to a Grow Your Own Record Label from XL, and there's a mix of songs donated inside to get you hyped.

Like a cross between the London market stall and the indie Davos, on Saturday, the heads of the country’s best independent labels – from the big dogs at Mute, XL and Domino to the new money at Tri Angle, Transparent and Merok – will be flogging their swag from stalls on Berwick Street in London’s Soho. Organised by Joe Daniels from Angular, it’s actually a really get-behindable idea – the business of running a label boiled to the basics, getting things, finding people, flogging things.

There’s lots of exclusive / rare records for sale, check a list out below.

Above is a mixtape made specially for the event, make sure you’re there.

1. Evans the Death – I’m So Unclean (Fortuna Pop!)
2. Gyratory System – New Harmony (Angular)
3. Purity Ring – Ungirthed (Transparent)
4. Jim Jones Revue – Dishonest John (Play It Again Sam)
5. Alana Stewart – Momma Says (Chess Club)
6. Little Dragon – Ritual Union (Peacefrog)
7. Beth Jeans Houghton – Dodecahedron (Mute)
8. Reverend and the Makers – Silence Is Talking (Wall Of Sound)
9. James Blake – I’ll Stay (R&S)
10. I Break Horses – Hearts (Bella Union)
