Hey good people!  I’ve got two new mixes running at Seattle Center.  The mixes will be playing in the background in the Center House and in the International Fountain when the big show water jets displays are not running.  Big shows typically run on the top of the hour and half hour, the rest of the time you will hear the following mixes:

“July 3rd mix,” running July 3rd and July 5th - 10th

Artists in the mix included:

DeVotchaka/Michael Danna, Sounds From The Ground, Herbie Hancock, Umami, The Chemical Brothers, Darkstar, Thievery Corporation, Bexar Bexar, Blockhead, Funky Lowlives, Mrs Jynx, and DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo.

One track in the mix:

“The Winner Is” by DeVotcha & Mychael Danna.
