This tape was created with a late summertime vibe. It takes place over a full summer day, beginning in the morning, up until the break of dawn. There are songs about dancing, losing girls, getting girls, your neighborhood, daydreams, running away. Its mostly filled with new school (Raphel Sadiq’s ‘Falling in Love’) and old school soul (James Brown’s ‘I Don’t Mind’), reggae (Horace Andy’s amazing rendition of ‘Sea of Love’), and some classic R’n'B influenced hip-hop (Lauryn Hill’s ‘That Thing’.) I tried to blur the lines between the few genres I cover, and you’ll notice that it skips around 3-4 decades. Like all good mixtapes, It ends with a nice ballad, a bossa love ballad! Like many other tapes there are a few summertime standards, and a few tracks you probably haven’t heard yet. Its short, 59 Minutes 36 seconds and upbeat, hopefully it’ll keep your attention. Best to listen to in the car driving somewhere in the south end where the roads are flat, or late at night when things wind down. Enjoy Summer time, Enjoy Seattle!
