Music mixes are more impersonal now that audio can be streamed anywhere and anytime, but Mexican Summer and Software records have put together a great summer-jam mix. Pretend it’s a mixed tape, and let the good times roll!
The “Tight Fog” sampler released earlier this week, gives a preview of the labels ambient, indie, indie pop to shoegaze line-up. The playlist includes earlier tunes from Real Estate and Tamaryn, and more recent releases from Autre Ne Veut and Lace Curtain. Mexican Summer, a Brooklyn-based label co-founded by New York City tastemaker Andres Santo Domingo, is best known for its indie music with limited-edition vinyl. Software’s music is described as electronic and noise. Mexican Summer and Software records are also sister labels to Kemado Records.
The summer jams don’t end here. Arther Ashin, known to his fans as Autre Ne Veut, will be playing gigs in Europe at the beginning of August. You can catch him at the Stuck Festival in Salzberg, OFF Festival in Berlin, Way Out West Fest in Gothenburg, and Flow Festival in Helsinki.
Ashin was recently featured in Complex magazine giving a nod to his songs like “Suit And Tie,” “Blurred Lines,” or ‘Get Lucky.” Complex magazine ranked Autre Ne Veut’s Anxiety album as No. 4 on the list of Best Albums of 2013 (So Far).
Oneohtrix Point Never is also on the compilation. The artist behind OPN, Daniel Lopatin, recently had his music featured on the soundtrack of Sofia Coppola’s film The Bling Ring.
