Mmmmm… fresh young blood! Yup, you might notice that less than a handful of the artists featured here have released more than a debut full length (and the majority haven’t even released that yet). And what is more, nearly all of the songs featured here have been released within the last 30-60 days. So if you are looking for the new music discoveries, you are going to like this mix. Besides that, I definitely think this is one of the strongest mixes I ever made. These are all bands who are making their names and working hard to earn their careers as musicians. You could say they’ve each got something to prove, and I think it is a better mix for that reason alone. Oh, and you’ll also notice that I’ve added the option to listen to the mix via Spotify for your convenience. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. As of this morning, we are accepting new subscriptions and orders for the December Pairings Box. They make a great holiday gift and they won’t last long, so sign up fast!
