Good Morning Mix: Lenno’s Never Stop Mixtape
No morning is complete without a cup of coffee, an unshakable feeling of dread, and a bit of nu-disco and electro to wash it all down. Lenno's hour long October mixtape does just that, acting as a cure-all to your Tuesday morning ass-dragging. For those of you stuck in an office while the US government gets paid to hang out, let Lenno's twinkling nu-disco mix distract you from the injustice -- even if only for an hour.
Good Morning Mix: Zimmer ‘Graceland’ September Mixtape
French nu-disco powerhouse, Zimmer, has made a habit of delivering tantalizing disco mixes one a month to his ever-growing legion of fans. Much like The Magician before him, Zimmer's approach to mix curation is eclectic, tasteful and impossibly mellow. Including remixes from Moon Boots, Flight Facilities, and Cassian, as well as his own touch on Black Yaya's "Paint a Smile on Me," Zimmer's September excursion is a smoothly satisfying hour of subdued electronica. Press play and ease into your work week with the undeniable cool of funk-filled nu-disco.
Good Morning Mix: Mumbai Science Tapes #18
Next to the Magician's Magic Tapes and Fool's Gold Radio, there are relatively few monthly DJ mixes that remain engaging, eclectic and experimental. For the 18th iteration of the Mumbai Science Tapes, the Belgian duo stick to their techno driven style, featuring cuts from Panteros666, Canblaster, Djedjotronic, SNTST and more. Dark and foreboding, Mumbai Science lets the music speaks for itself, there aren't any "sick drops" or "club bangers" to be found here; just propulsive techno and gritty electronica.
Good Morning Mix: Clinton Sparks ‘My Awesome Mixtape’
What better way to wake up than with the soothing voice of Hulk Hogan introducing Clinton Sparks' latest mix "My Awesome Mixtape." Meeting the the cross section of rap and electronic, Clinton Sparks pieces together a 36-track mix that superimposes some of rap's biggest names over top fluttering hi hats and gritty trap beats. Hear Wacka Flocka go "Epic," Rick Ross meet Disclosure, Jim Jones get knifed by Knife Party and more on the hour long output from the freshest crossover producer in the game. A bit different than what we usually use to wake you up every morning, Sparks does well to support the mixtape title - this one is indeed AWESOME.
