We’re starting this week off with some positivity, creative inspiration, and a little escapism all via our July monthly mixtape entry for this year.
The mix opens with a beautiful track that we’ve spoken about on these pages rather recently—Maggie Rogers‘ now-mastered and released “Alaska,” the song that took the words away from both us and (more internet-buzz-worthily) Pharrell.
Following that impressive intro, we’ve got a wealth of tracks that range from skitteringly glitchy to soaringly anthemic to cooly contemplative from the likes of Brooklyn electro pop mistress Psychic Twin; experimental electronic solo artist Nick Leng; masters of the pop hook, London’s Honne (featuring Izzy Bizu); Montreal + Björk’s One Little Indian‘s FOXTROTT; some exciting returns from songstress Bat for Lashes and Australian duo Big Scary, and a lot more really great music from some really great artists.
Sit back and enjoy.
