A fresh mix every month by Ashton Mason of London, UK. In a monthly detour along the fringes of contemporary music, we take the scenic route and kick the tyres of everything from Scandinavian jazz to dub, house and electronica along the way.

Well March is here, and with it another issue of the Monthly Mix! This month, something of a change of style from February's edition. From the heat of Mumbai we head north and brave the worst Scandinavian winter on record for a deep breath of icy modern jazz.
Cooler than the bottom of a frozen fjord, fresher than a trawler-full of wild-eyed herring, heavy with the perpetual twilight of the Norwegian winter, and cosy with the warm glow of the northern lights. The music coming out of Scandinavia is unmistakeable.
Let me know if you like the mix, and don't forget to hit subscribe.
(Yes I know Germany isn't really in Scandinavia -- but it's right next to Denmark so cut me some slack 8)
