Camden Crawl 2012

We're very proud to announce that 7digital is the official download partner of the Camden Crawl. It’s the fifth consecutive year we’ve taken part and with this year’s weekender boasting 50 venues, a wealth of treats from the worlds of music, comedy and visual arts, and an entire extra 24 hours added to the schedule, we think 2012’s shaping up to be their best festival yet. It all kicks off on the 4th May, with an opening party at KOKO, headlined by Death In Vegas.

The first additions to the line-up have now been announced and below you’ll find our pick of bill so far. Not only that, you can download three free Camden Crawl mixtapes from this very spot too! And for all the latest line-up and ticketing information, you can visit the Camden Crawl website here.

As survivors of this legendary weekender will attest, there’s something for everyone at the ‘Crawl. Last year’s event was a case in point: one minute crowds were calmly appreciating the sensitive acoustics of Villagers, and the next, invading the stage during OFWGKTA’s riotous gig. This free, 16-track mixtape was curated in that spirit: showcasing the array of talent on 2012's genre-hopping line-up. That includes rock-n-roll-hip-hop from Willy Moon, asymmetric indie from Dutch Uncles, beatific electro-pop from Chew Lips and blistering rock from Marmozets.

Amongst the eclectic musical haul, you’ll find free MP3s from opening party headliners, Death in Vegas, Gorillaz-guesting soul singer Daley, Mackem post-punk revivalists The Futureheads and Gallic indie-poppers Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains.

Perhaps not as good as ‘Return of the Jedi’, but probably superior to ‘The Godfather: Part III’, the final installment of our Camden Crawl mixtape trilogy has arrived. And what a way to conclude the saga! This epic, 24-track behemoth explores suave synthpop with NZCA/Lines, psychedelic folktronica with Stealing Sheep, blistering rock-riffage with Kids in Glass Houses and a fair few other musical nooks and crannies. All that remains for you to do is grab your free download here, swot up at home and head down to the festival. We’ll meet you outside Koko on 4th May, yeah?
