When I make a mix, I’m most concerned with throughlines: I want to make something that sounds like one (very) long song. This makes for some pretty one-note mixes, but I’m slightly obsessive compulsive anyway. So, here’s to OCD. And delicate, floaty, nebulous summer jams that sound awful at a Sunday afternoon BBQ. (Sorry about that.)
