5 excellent DJ mixes for work, play and kick starting your life

Here are five mixes to blast through the last crappy part of January and catapult you into February - the shortest of our wintery months. As we sit in purgatory waiting for the world to open up, try resetting your regime (and your mindset) with one of these mixes. I found the Artwork UK G mix excellent for some furious bathroom cleaning, and Nightwave’s selection helped me muck out a cupboard. There’s a theme here; it’s cleaning. But YOU can also use these high energy mixes to power you on a bike ride or run, or maybe you and the people you live with can have a mini party to keep warm and avoid paying too much for your heating. If you like them, please follow the artists and show them some love.
