Thom Yorke's pre-recorded two-hour mix for BBC 6 Music went out last night at 8pm in the station's 6 Mix slot, six days after Radiohead's remix album TKOL RMX 1234567 came out. He played five Radiohead remixes, among them a Jamie xx club mix of “Bloom” that differs from the rework on the album, and slipped in “Paperbag Writer”, the B-side from the 2003 “There There” single.

Yorke had DJed at the remix album's release party at the Boiler Room in London on Tuesday. Dead Air Space, the band's blog, also sent listeners to Phil Selway as John Kennedy's guest on XFM's Xposure on Wednesday and to Ed O'Brien on the panel of Steve Lamacq's Roundtable on 6 Music on Thursday.

Two of the Radiohead remixes were of “Little By Little”, by Caribou and by Shed, and two of Yorke's solo songs came remixed too, “And It Rained All Night” in Burial's hands. Around them he played J Dilla, Low, Gil Scott-Heron with Jamie xx, James Blake, PJ Harvey and Aphex Twin, and let Autechre's “Drane” run into Wiley's “100% Publishing”. The mix can be played again on the BBC's site for the next two weeks.
