♪ Kylie Minogue - Hypertension | A non-stop mix of Tension (Random J Mix)

The Winamp classic player with a pink colour scheme. Currently playing the Random J non-stop mix of Kylie Minogue’s Tension — the cover art of which is displayed on the right-hand side.
A year ago I started working a non-stop mix of Kylie’s Tension. I’m not entirely sure what compelled me to do it. But as soon as I started, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. Because not only did I find myself working on transitions between the songs, but I wound up changing some of the mixes too. I’m a fussy bitch. And I found some of the Tension songs way too short and some of the Extension Mixes too slapdash. Then I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to put a couple of Disco songs in there too!?’.

[Shakes head]

When I was finally done giving myself hard, unpaid work, I found myself listening to my Tension mix quite a bit and...it actually made me like Tension a whole lot more. I did 180s on songs I wasn’t too keen on prior. Instead of just cherry picking the couple of songs on Tension that I liked, I found myself listening to the entire thing from top to bottom. I figured that maybe it was just the initial feeling of relief and accomplishment that the damn thing was finally done. But, nope. One year on, I’m still listening to it and I still like the bitch.

So after sitting with this for a year and Kylie about to embark on her Tension tour as I post this, I’m now sharing it with you.

Also available on YouTube, albeit muted at certain sections.

Happy Valentine’s Day Lovers.
