There’s nothing like listening to music in your car. It’s a private world where your deepest audio indulgences can be set free. With all that in mind, when Melbourne DJ Swick told us he was making us a mix about cars, we imagined the usual road trip bangers. But the result is honestly more literal than we expected — like, it’s actually a mix built on songs about cars.
“Some of my favourite songs that are about cars,” Swick explained to us. “I tested it out on a drive the other day, it was really fun. I also forgot how many cool songs there are about them, there was lots more to include as well but I couldn’t fit them all in.”
