A companion-piece to the sophomore Gotye record Like Drawing Blood, Mixed Blood sees Gotye acting as curator, bringing together a number of well-known and underground Australian artists from varied music spheres, all wildly remixing, re-imagining and in some cases completely re-writing Gotye material from Boardface and Like Drawing Blood.

From the serenely floating 3am mix of Hearts a Mess that opens the collection, to the ambitious extension/reinvention of Worn Out Blues that is Fourth Floor Collapse's contribution, the album makes nods to metal, dance, dub and folk musics in its reconstitution of sounds, words and motifs themselves previously constructed by Gotye from myriad discreet sound sources.
