Mixtape #131

Orions Belte are a real treat. Playful, breezy and driving in equal measures, their music is fun as hell and instantly stood out to us. Earlier this year, the Norwegian trio of Øyvind Blomstrøm, Chris Holm and Kim Åge Furuhaug released their second album, Villa Amorini, an impeccable eleven track LP that feels fresh and infectious, drawing influences from disparate genres, with groove elements lurking beneath it all. We're thrilled to unveil the superb mixtape they put together for us, mirroring their array of influences. Not bound to a specific genre, their mix is a gift that keeps on giving. Press play and enjoy!
