I finished this mix one up a few months ago, but I wanted to make sure I was happy with it. Yes, it’s 128kbps. When you pay as much per mb as I do for internet, maybe you’ll understand. It’s a pretty laidback feel – some jazzy stuff, some disco-y stuff, but all things that you can “lounge” to. I wanted to include some hip-hop, but honestly it just wasn’t sitting right. I’ll be recording part 2 at some point, though, and expect some Guru Jazzmatazz tracks in there (RIP).
I made this tape because 1) I’ve always wanted to make a lounge/downtempo tape, and 2) There’s a particular bar that always evokes this kind of feeling in me and the endless beaches only add to the fire.
