It's the festive season, which means there's sure to be feasts with family and friends, egg-nog, a lot of seeing the wee small hours of the night / morning and probably (hopefully) a heap of good-times with loved ones. With all of that, everyone needs a bit of quiet time too. That's something we've taken from a year of doing office yoga - the importance of balance.

So as we're preparing to spend some quality time with our nearest and dearest, we thought we'd leave you a bit of quiet, reflective sweetness in the form of this mixtape.

Like its predecessor, Modular Mixtape 2 - Midnight, this has been put together by the over-achieving Chris from the A&R Department. He's also shared a few thoughts on each.

Happy Holidays, enjoy!

2011 was a year in which I listened to way more music sitting at my laptop than ever before. Hours upon hours in front of a screen with headphones on, getting sore eyes from switching between the bazillion browser pages I have open, and sore ears from having a giant lump of plastic and foam hugging the sides of my face for 12 hours a day.
