misplaced mixtapes

we’ve bombarded our way through the first third of this year and it hardly feels anything like four months.

on the flip side however, it feels like the music world has taken a bit of  breather, with only a handful of top class albums/singles released thus far. that said, there are 2 tracks on this mixtape off some of my favourite albums this year, from Chromatics and Santigold respectively, as well as some local goodness from Nico van Reenen and also the smoothest remix (Still Dre) I’ve heard in sometime.

this mixtape features songs by, but not limited to, Moonduo, Nohopekids, The Revelators, Link Wray, Black Lips, Male Bonding, Wu Lyf, The Almighty Defenders and Black Angels.

A tip of the hat to Wes from abandonedpier as well as Mr. Carter – both star mixtape compilers!
