The mixtape for August features new music from Crystal Fighters, Laura Misch, Devendra Banhart, Fever Ray, SAULT, Move 78, Daao, Freyja Garbett and Nu Genea. This mixtape is a real wormhole of audio. It starts to go in one direction and then switches it up to a completely new vibe. I think you’ll like it. 

As I mentioned in the intro, check out some of the fantastic writing and photography that our very own Jarrett Edmund has been crushing this year with his coverage of Sled Island and the Blink 182 Tour. And of course, his feature on Nickleback called: “Look at these photographs: my day with Nickelback.”

Oh, and check out our new Jazz Underground resident artist this month, Bubble Wrap Trap. If you like their sound, go check out the ten new track on our Jazz Underground Spotify playlist. Follow the playlist to show your support!
