Someone once said that music is what life sounds like, and right now life is sounding pretty damn fine. As we move into October, we look back on this bunch of cuts that should see you through the month as they have treated us oh so well. We kick off the mixtape with some brand new music from Kaytranada, who dropped a bunch of tracks on his Soundcloud the other day, trust us, check those out. Theres new forthcoming free music from our boy Ryan Hemsworth, right before we Rewind with Kelela and delve into Glenn Astro’s groove-filled remix of Maribou State’s soulful Midas.
There new music from i-D Slumber Sessionee SG Lewis as well as new cuts Mo Kolours, Mount Kimbie and James Blake, some incredible new music from LV, Blue Daisy (whose album is incredible) and freshness from young super-producer in the making, Tom Misch.
Of course the mixtape wouldn’t be right without some a shimmer of Pop in there. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Sofi de la Torre, Maggie Lindemann and Josef Salvat have all delivered quality tracks over the past month. Closing the mixtape with Hip Hop vibes this month is fresh fire from TDE’s Isaiah Rashad and the bawse himself Rick Ross with his new drop Foreclosures.
As you know, each month we commission an artist or illustrator to create a custom cover for the monthly mixtape and this month’s mixtape cover artwork is a special one. Fashion’s favourite Instagram Badly Drawn Models aka Sean Ryan has very carefully crafted a spectacular image of i-D’s cover current cover star, Elle Fanning. After your own badly drawn portrait? Head here. But right now press play on a months worth of sweet sounds.
