| Summer Mixtape #2: Chris Daly | June 25, 2014 |
Chris Daly is always frontin and maxin’, chillin in the car he spent all day waxin’ I realize the summer solstice just passed, but it’s already been a long summer. Fortunately, this isn’t my first rodeo, so I’ve got a couple of gems to share to keep things cool when it’s too damn hot otherwise. […]
Jordan Pedersen used to be able to draw Dexter – the boy genius not the serial killer – in under a minute. The best music always has something to do with cartoons. That’s not really true, but LA record label Dome of Doom appears to have named themselves after an episode of Courage the Cowardly […]
| Spring Mix – Has-Lo | May 28, 2014 |
Has-Lo is hordeable, sportable, and totally affordable Spring is my favorite time of year. It’s not as hot as summer. Not as brutally cold as winter. Full of anticipation. Everything spreads out in front of us, waiting to be experienced. Once it got warm, you know school is coming to a close for the year. […]
| Spring Mix – Zilla Rocca | May 20, 2014 |
Zilla Rocca is a 5 O’clock Shadowboxer holding the sector After the hellish winter we suffered along the east coast in 2013-2014, where 60 inches of snow pelted us into psychological mince meat, the spring of 2014 has been a mirage of sorts – 80 degree temperatures overtaken by rain, cool nights, and beautiful sunny […]
| Spring Mix – Harold Stallworth | May 13, 2014 |
Harold Stallworth will always roots for the villain. This year’s spring has been absurdly slow in arriving to Washington D.C., but better late than polar vortex. Bidding farewell to old man winter is a bittersweet occasion, seeing as how my dearest strains of music and fashion were born out of blistering winds and torrential snowfall. […]
| Spring Mix: Will Hagle | May 6, 2014 |
Will Hagle now reports to Creative Director Lou Avery Spring is a transitional season, one that promises summer is coming soon but constantly reminds you it’s still kinda winter. Two weeks ago I sat outside at Busch stadium in 80 degree weather, optimistic about the start of the spring and baseball seasons. I left with […]
| Spring Mix: Dewey Decibel | May 5, 2014 |
Dewey Decibel is an emcee/visual artist from Philadelphia who has a deep love for breakfast foods and brunettes. This is a mixtape that reminds me of the ones I used to make for myself when I was in High School. I would dub cassette tapes with all of my favorite hip hop tracks jammed together […]
| Spring Mix: Alex Koenig | May 2, 2014 |
Alex Koenig is not alone, because the TV’s on. On his posthumous LP Life After Death, which was released in the spring of 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. rapped, “Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart’s in it, and live the phrase ‘sky’s the limit.’” Consider this mixtape to foster the late Christopher […]
| Spring Mix: Smileswithteeth | May 1, 2014 |
Smileswithteeth is the solo project of Gabriel Gutierrez, a Montreal based beatmaker and producer making music for the morning commute. Sampling songs for texture instead of melody, his music falls into an often meditative state, while still being propelled by the current of left-field house and hip-hop. His album, Everyday Always, comes out May 12th […]
| Spring Mix: Evan Nabavian | April 30, 2014 |
Evan Nabavian has feelings only he and Lebron know Spring brings to mind my hot seventh grade math teacher who, come April, went sleeveless and changed the course of my academic career. I lingered after class on the last day of school but she never tore her clothes off. It was not meant to be […]
