July is off to a wonderful start with the release of Thiago Nassif’s new album Mente. Based in Rio de Janeiro, the phenomenal multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer conquered our ears with his compositions merging and exploring elements of no-wave, electronic music, Tropicalismo, jazz, rock and pop. His body of work spans a wide spectrum of artistic expression and influences, also drawing from photography, architecture and plastic arts. So we're thrilled to unveil the superb mixtape he put together for us, mirroring his array of influences. Press play and enjoy!
