After 15 years of running the cypher-music.net mix blog, I decided to close that corner of the internet and move some of my favourites to SoundCloud.
The second mix I'm archiving here comes from Richard Brophy (@first_cut); an excellent music journalist (DJ Mag, Jockey Slut, Juno Plus, RA and plenty more) and label boss (https://www.discogs.com/label/996537-First-Cut-2).
