As we’ve stated many times before, a lot of the real action in electronic music never makes it’s way to a full album, which sometimes can end up feeling like a slice of revisionist history: viewing a scene through rose-tinted lenses. In the world of electronic music, whether dance (yr not gonna find me using the acronym EDM) or hip-hop, mixes and mixtapes are an essential ingredient, one step before the EP, where artists can share their current ideas, research and infatuations, without the commercial pressures of a single, EP or album.
From flowing DJ mixes, to expertly curated mixtapes, mixes are all about the love of music, connecting previously unrelated synapses, and creating a journey of sound. With the endless silveren waterfall of new music coming out every second, it’s nice to have a way to check out random music.
Mixes are some of our favorite way to consume music. 2 Mixtapes: Clams Casino – Instrumental 3 & Lorn – Self Confidence Vol. 3
