It’s been far too long since I received a mixtape. The last I was given was a flimsy cd with some tacky love notes etched into the front and a list of songs waiting to be interpreted too literally. Still, mixtapes are a nice gesture. Kind of like the thoughtfulness of a pal buying you fresh vinyl or a pre-release, but not really as thrilling as doing a music hard-drive swap and discovering your friend’s skip-hop collection.
It’s our job to siphon out the good stuff, so we’ve compiled a load of our favourite new tunes for your essential summer listening. Our Vol. 6 mixtape is nearly notching 40K listens, so if that’s some indication that we can probably DJ at your backyard party, then hit me.
