The Carnival Mixtape is a mixtape made by Gorillaz as a homage to the Notting Hill Carnival. The mixtape featured songs from the Meanwhile EP and was uploaded to Gorillaz’ Spotify account as a playlist in August 2021.

Information[]

A homage to Notting Hill Carnival featuring music from the Meanwhile... EP
~ Gorillaz.

The mixtape features tracks of various recurring musicians from the Notting Hill Carnival, some of which collaborated with Gorillaz over the years, as well as some by Gorillaz themselves, mostly from the Meanwhile EP but also Ed Case's refix of Clint Eastwood with Sweetie Irie, whose live debut took place on the 2000 edition of the Notting Hill Carnival and marked the band's first ever public appearance.

The current Spotify link to the playlist does not lead to the Carnival Mixtape anymore, as it has since been replaced with newer Gorillaz content.
