BBC's ‘Mix Tape' Soundtrack: Full Tracklist of Songs by Episode
And in a twist of fate, the BBC/Binge four-parter also stars Jim Sturgess, the lead in the 2011 One Day movie, as another lovelorn character who holds a torch for an old flame from his teenage years into his middle years.
Sturgess plays Daniel and The Fall Guy 's Teresa Palmer is his long-time crush Alison in a music-soaked romantic drama that follows the pair from their partying youths (where they're played by Bridgerton 's Florence Hunt and newcomer Rory Walton-Smith) to wobbly married lives with other people on different continents.
As its title implies, the bond of music – especially alternative anthems of the '80s and '90s – offers a motif for the pair's enduring connection throughout the series. And what a soundtrack it is, reflecting the music scenes of its two cities – Sheffield and Sydney – in fairly iconic style.
In common with the novel on which its based, the show packs in a crate load of tunes: from Aussie bands like 1927 and The Church, to British post-punk legends like The Psychedelic Furs and The Cure, and Sheffield hometown heroes Arctic Monkeys and Richard Hawley. Listen out for the great Nick Drake too.

Green Man 2025 review: all the good bits of Glastonbury in one perfect space
In the day, trolleys of smiling children run between its walls while camping chair-clad drinkers pick from dozens of independent Welsh beers, the festival does not have any sponsors to showcase more breweries, as the music gets underway. Aussie trio Folk Bitch Trio provided one of the standout performances as they mesmerised crowds with what Phoebe Bridgers once described as 'Boygenius if it was from the 1940s', but Middle English poetry, postindustrial hometown blues and electronic avant-pop are just a few of the genres that graced the intimate stage in the sunshine this week.

The Lost Paradise line-up has just dropped – it's bringing big international and Aussie acts to a magical valley just outside of Sydney
Since it first popped up at the end of 2014, Lost Paradise – the four-day festival set in the magical, sun-soaked bowl of Glenworth Valley – has cemented itself as a New Year's ritual for a sizeable portion of Sydney's dance lovers. Just over an hour's drive from the CBD, it's renowned as a creative, colourful oasis: a place to escape reality and welcome the year ahead. This morning, the organisers (Sydney-based events agency Finely Tuned) released the line-up for the 2025–2026 edition – here's what's in store. Spanning four main stages, this year's music program features more than 100 acts, headlined by international heavyweights Ben Böhmer, Duke Dumont and Maribou State. Other highlights include Irish DJ Kettama, British electronic duo Underworld, and international festival favourites Folamour and Ross From Friends. Alongside the big-name internationals, the line-up also celebrates homegrown talent, with performances from Confidence Man, Anna Lunoe, Big Wett and Bella Claxton alongside a heap of other Aussie artists. While music is the main drawcard, Lost Paradise is equally known for its creative side program of movement classes, talks and craft workshops. Details for this year are still under wraps, but based on previous editions you can expect morning yoga sessions, daily tea ceremonies, hands-on pottery workshops and thought-provoking talks covering everything from mindful intimacy to sustainable living. The festival runs from Sunday, December 28, 2025, to Thursday, January 1, 2026. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, August 27 – you can check out the full line-up and sign up for tickets here.
