This is the last one before The Twelve Inch returns with its weekly Friday episodes on Substack, with the soundtracks here on Mixcloud.
Early January is that brief in-between moment: a pause before things really start again. A time to reset, get our thoughts in order, and imagine what 2026 could become. The good news is that much of it is still in your hands. If you want 2026 to be a great year, it can be.
I wish each and every one of you a wonderful year ahead. The Twelve Inch will be there every Friday with a fresh dose of dancefloor history, and it would be an honour to have you along.
But first, a moment of contemplation — and this is the soundtrack.
The beat is everywhere: pounding, pulsing, pushing us forward. In your heartbeat, your steps, your daily rhythm. This mix captures that energy and is inspired by one of my favourite films. It opens with the film itself. Can you guess which one? If not, the answer reveals itself later in the mix.
