I know things have been pretty slow on the site since I started it, but the original idea of a different guest mix per week was a little too ambitious to start. So I have decided to tone it down a little and let things happen how they happen. But you can be bet that there will be more guest mixes coming in the new decade, so keep an eye out!
With that said I would like to present you with the Cool Tapes version of an end of the year mix. It took me a while to get this mix the way I wanted it because there was alot of good music that came out this year and I didn’t want to leave anything out. I knew that I didn’t want to go the P4k rout and make a mix that included all of the “big” albums from this year (griz, girls, anco, p pit, phoenix…), but I also didn’t want to seem like I was trying to bite anyone’s style (gvb, aquarium d, underwater peeps…). So I just decided to not think about it and put together something that sounded like ME. And if you know me, or have been fortunate enough to pass music back and forth with me, then you will know that this is a mix that I would make, like, “That’s SOOO J.J.” So I hope you enjoy. Feel free to pass it on, and stay tuned for Part 2.
