Mixtape #105


July is here and with it comes our monthly mixtape, curated this time around by Honey Oat, the duo of Gabe Stout and Janak JP, who won us over earlier this year with their grand self-titled debut album. Their ebullient and exciting compositions incorporate elements of jazz and funk and Zimbabwean Shona music. We’re thrilled they found the time to put together this stunning mix, featuring incredible songs from a myriad genres and styles, with artists from the likes of Stereolab, Juan Wauters, Beverly Glenn Copeland, Bermuda Triangle and many more.

Mixtape #55

The earthy and intense music of Elfin Saddle, with its large melting pot of influences, is as inventive and edgy as warm and emotionally engaging. Co-founded by multi-instrumentalists Emi Honda and Jordan McKenzie, the band's compositions are like delicately crafted invitations to wonderment. Naturally we were delighted when Elfin Saddle agreed to put together our first mixtape of the autumn. And here it is, filled with tracks that will make the summer want to stick around a bit longer.
