here's a couple new mixes i've made recently that i'm quite happy with, they have one song in common but play very differently.
first is 'slew' which is one i made for the car based of a handful of summer songs i couldn't stop listening to. some of it is a bit disparate but has the same mood in my mind. highlights include gypsy-funk-reggaeton fusion, french riot grrl style punk, french-iraqi rap, folk hijacked by cabaret leanings, and super giddy swedish punk.
