Summer is definitely on its way here in New Zealand with the arrival over the weekend of daylight savings, and the sun making a welcome appearance on a more regular basis. Accordingly, September’s mix of the month from Redeyes is definitely one for a sunny afternoon sitting by the pool, barbecue cranking, and beer in hand.
While the Frenchman is better known for his drum and bass production he also has impeccable taste in hip hop and downbeat. This is one of several of such mixtapes that are constantly on high rotate for me.
An eclectic selection of 90-ish bpm goodness that is billed as ‘the ultimate love and hope mixtape’. I am certainly not going to argue with that.
