MIXTAPE: Crafted in June, perfect for an July Delivery

Dive into the summer season with our latest mixtape, finely tuned on Fire Island and infused with sun, sand, and sound.

As always, this month's cover art was created by cutting and pasting the tracklist into mid-journey to see what it thinks this collection of songs looks like. Your guess is as good as mine as to how we got there from here or here from there.

I know, I know, I know … today is July 2nd, but as someone deeply immersed in music with a keen anthropological lens on how we experience it (and a super penchant for bull-shit), I believe it's our mood, not the date, that truly influences how music resonates with us.

It's hard to accept that it's already July, bringing 2025 ever closer. I have plenty of political commentary to share, especially with the Supreme Court winding us up before they wind themselves down for their summer break, but I’ll keep the focus on music here—not my takes on current events. For now, I'm settling into a summer rhythm on Fire Island, surrounded by overpriced ice cream cones and relentless sand—it’s pure and delightful.

The creative process for both the mixtape and its artwork flows naturally for me. The real hurdle is formatting everything for distribution through Substack and actually sending it off. So, while this mixtape has been ready for a while, I am just now releasing it as I begin exploring the fresh tracks of the new July mixtape, which is still taking shape.
