Mixtapes
No. 17 / Winter 2011-2012
Photo taken with Instagram of the Verrazano Bridge in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. My hood.
Finally our Winter mix for this year is completed. I know it took a while. December was a very busy month and so far January is shaping up to be pretty hectic too. I planned on making this mix very mellow and somber, but then I decided against it because everyone needs a little break from the constant gray we’ll be getting all season. Some of these songs are quite fun. It starts off a bit melancholy and gray, but then you’ll quickly notice where I start injecting some color.
Please enjoy.
I’m going to call it, Lana Del Rey is going to be huge in 2012!

No. 16 / Fall 2011

We welcome Fall with open arms. Time to pack up your short shorts and brake out the cozy cardigans! Hope everyone had a great summer and we cannot be anymore excited for Fall. Can’t wait for the apple ciders and the pumpkin pies! This mix starts off bumpin’ and then mellows out a bit. Just like the change of the seasons, from warm to cool. Although the first few weeks of Fall this year has been unfortunately really humid. Let’s hope for some brisk weather.
