Q3/15

So, another three moths are behind us, the summer is over and the end of the year is slowly approaching. Plan to limit myself to 50 tracks per mix is totally out of the window, and I’m not even a little bit sorry.

And while we were enjoying warm weather Years & Years, Kwabs, Halsey and Meg Myers released their debut studio albums. Beach House and Tame Impala also have new albums out and I can already see them being among top ten albums of the year. Also, I have to mention new albums from Youth Lagoon, Disclosure (I really had my doubts with them but they proved me wrong) Chvrches and Lana Del Rey.

Daughter have a first single from their upcoming album due for January. Jamie Woon (!!!) is alive, has a new single out and his 2nd album is scheduled to be out in November.

ZHU is working on a new Genesis Series project which will feature AlunaGeorge, Skrillex, A-Trak, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Gallant and more.

While we are talking about new projects I have to mention Sexwitch, a musical collaboration between Toy and Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes. Their self-titled debut album, released on 25 September 2015, consists of six cover versions of 1970s psych and folk songs from Iran, Morocco, Thailand and the United States.

You can hear all of them, as well as new tracks from Jarryd James, Låpsley, John Grant and many more if you just play the 8tracks mix below.
