Listening to it right now. Since I’m in Florida my view about Winter is different but I’m really enjoying it. Glad you didn’t go all Sting on us….Thanks, wonderful selection!
Being from California my perception of Winter and all of the seasons is a bit skewed as well. I did live in Philadelphia for a couple of years which gave me some perspective.
Fantastic, eclectic mix. I’ve been lurking around your blog for a minute and this generous, well-compiled mix compelled me to comment. Winter vibes galore and I’m really diggin’ the folk/psych flavors you went for. Good work and thanks again!
Thanks man. Pretty close to finishing up another African mix of all instrumental cuts. Just need to finish the cover art. Stay tuned.
Just wanna say I’ve been enjoying your mixtapes lots, ever since I heard one of them being streamed at MeshRadio.
Cheers for the good vibes & keep on mixing!
thanks, appreciate the feedback!
