Usually I like my mixes to create a specific ambiance or take the listener on a guided sonic journey, but this is just a random mix of 80s boogie, post punk, pop, minimal, Italo, and more. Some recent favorites, longtime guilty pleasures, and forgotten tracks I rediscovered while putting together a background soundtrack for Pump Project’s closing party a couple of weeks ago. Here’s to shade trees, cold drinks, and the crushing anxiety of existence in a degenerate world.
Previous summer mixes: 2017, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2011, 2011.
