I spend more time, I’d say, on my Summer Drool mixtapes than any other — and more time than necessary indeed. But I’m usually quite happy with how they turn out. That said, IV shouldn’t disappoint. As expected, tucked between the Russell and Maus jams are hopefully a few songs you haven’t heard before.
This is for the heat of the night. Enjoy your patios, sweet teas, pools, little live boyequins.

It was my good friend Tobin’s birthday this past week and I made her a mixtape called HEAT|BEATS. It was made in the wee hours of the morning with the singular attempt of compiling my favorite BANGERS. In that it succeeds. I hope you enjoy it.

Ian, a great friend of mine, spent Buffalo’s roughest months toughing out this dance mix. I listen to it to bed, i listen to it to clean (my body). A track selection that is solid and unafraid to follow the whole arc of a night; from ales at my house – ///// – to your long cold walk home. For me, for obvious reason’s, the whole thing spins around Kelis’ Acapella but the highs are aplenty here. Let them leave their marks on you.

I’m still trying to figure out how to make a podcast, and this is supposed to be the first “show”. UB doesn’t have a radio station, and I was sort of hoping for one which was the main impetus for this experiment. I’m trying a few things out here: sampling, mixing, fashioning a theme that doesn’t necessarily have to do with the current season. For this one, I tried to compile tracks that use short vocal samples as the base of bigger pop jams. There are so many wonderful artists influenced by the Avalanches/the Field/J Dilla working lately, transforming 1-10 second RnB/Soul vocal samples into breathy, dark, lush pop songs. I’m such a sucker for them.
((Intro / Star Slinger – Mornin’ / Games – Heartlands / Young Montana – Sacre Cool / Leatherette – Blad / Chad Valley – Shapeless / Teebs – Wind Loops / James Blake – I’ll Stay / You Say Party – Dark Days (Babe Rainbow Remix) / Jackhigh – Future Girl / Mark E – RnB Drunkie / Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings – Got Better Things to Do ))
