Sorry I’ve been away for ages – I’ve been very busy etc etc etc. Took a trip over to Strasbourg, France to see my dyood Ekin. I love her because she one of the only people I know that knows/loves music as much as I do. That’s her there on the left. Je t’aime.

The music in this post is as much for your benefit as it is for hers. I don’t think she’ll have heard The Weeknd but I’m sure she’ll find something to love in this album.

Anyway – this mixtape has not left my ears for a week now. Download it. Now. It’s ALL excellent.
But if that sounds like too much then just download track 2 – ‘What You Need’ – below. This song made me glad I love music again. It’s told from the perspective of a forlorn lover, lusting after a girl and telling her, in detail, how he’d be better than her current beau. But then you listen to the music… and it could literally be about a girl being tempted by drugs by the drugs themselves – there’s even the line “I’m the drug in your veins”. As if the drug coursing through her blood is serenading her into submission.

This photo was taken with my awesome new Diana Mini camera! As for the music, Charlie Darker sneaked his new chillwave-y track over to my inbox. I stumbled across this ultra lo-fi gem from Young Minds. And finally, RAC have put out their 2nd remix album on soundcloud. You should go listen to it…..I’ll wait…..
