okay okay, i give in. here’s a new music mix for you! yesterday was a public holiday in south africa, which means a lot of people round here are taking a bit of a long weekend… so i made use of the down time to catch up on new music and compile a smattering of good songs for you to enjoy. it’s a biggie too, topping in at 20 tracks.
Falling by HAIM is totally my new jam. and you simply have to get your hands on the full albums of Rhye (which i’ve had on repeat) & Laura Mvula. i’m also excited by the news tracks from Kisses, Vampire Weekend and Iron & Wine. but there’s a ton of other rad shit in here though, so just give it a listen will ya?

THANK YOU MISS MOSS
Yuss! These mixes are always a highlight. Thanks Diana.
This mix is VERY MUCH my jam. I’ve just embarrassed myself in a coffee shop by visibly rocking out to it. Thanks for sharing!!
thank you miss moss!! I see some of my favorites on here so this is bound to be a good one!
Greaaaat!!
thank you! love these mixes
yay yay music! thanks!
I’m so excited to see you’ve put up a new playlist! I was definitely sad when you said you were going to stop making them. I’ll be setting up my new attic studio tomorrow to this mix. Music is the best gift, thank you for another great playlist!
Sweet, can’t wait to take a listen. I too have been addicted to Songza. The 80′s Eye of the Tiger ‘Confidence Mix’ is my guilty pleasure. I just can’t stop!
What a happy surprise, thank you!
Fanstastico! Going to see Phoenix twice this month…they are such a brilliant band live I just can’t say no. Happy week’s end! Brilliant selection as always, thanks!
Hope the recent move has gone to plan and all well with the wedding planning!
So happy! This made my day. :)
Lately, I’ve been listening to this a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzH-2kFMpus , mostly when I feel like dancing around my barren apartment. On the other side of the spectrum, I’m also extremely keen on this: https://soundcloud.com/mariboustate/ultraista-gold-dayz-maribou
Thanks for the mix! I don’t know why you would ever stop sharing.

Ooh! So many great things on here. What a treat. Thank you!
I might seem ungrateful as I rarely leave any messages but still sucking up all your great posts. I really appreciate the universes you are creating through your continuing jam sessions – really. I just found this wonderful song I thought would be just perfect for the weekend! Happy friday from Denmark

THIS IS MY JAM TOO, listening to non stop whilst I do my taxes. Fun morning!
I’ve been listening to this non-stop all weekend and just thought I’d pop back and let you know that your mixes definitely DO make me buy more music- I’ve been introduced to lots of artists I love through the mixes and have then bought their CDs, so don’t stop making ‘em! :)
Best mix out right now. I’ve been repeating since it’s been posted.
