Seasonal Tunes Mix Series Vol. 6 "sing me a song"

Summer is ending... the tomatoes have been juicy and delicious (especially the fuzzy peach ones!), and I feel fall in the early evening breeze.  I have to say that I'm probably a better dj than a writer so hopefully the music will evoke the perfect soundtrack for your fall.  While fall does make me think of things like romance, undoubtedly a theme here, it still always has a somber beauty to me which you'll find in such songs as Jono McCleery's "Tomorrow", an amazing instrumental from LA's beatmaker TAKE and the wildly different-than-original Mount Kimbie rmx of Andreaya Triana's single off her new album Lost Where I Belong, one of many GREAT new releases currently out on Ninja Tune.  I couldn't help but feature both the original and the remix.  Speaking of Ninja tune... the last song: MASSIVE, cinematic beauty from Eskmo is completely engrossing.  "Don't Let it Pass from José Gonzales project JUNIP sees it's full release that is easily a favorite for the whole year, PLEASE get it.  Sing Me A Song was my desire to feature some great vocal stuff out right now.  Janelle Monáe, like miss Triana, is a complete diva yet a completely new voice in popular music.  Continuing with the fun/dancy vibe I can't get enough of that Lindstrøm/Prins Thomas rmx of "Swoon."  I love how it mixes into the following leafy/breezy tunes from Axel Boman & Oriol.  Stones Throw comes correct (as always) with two new releases from incredible male vocalists Aloe Blacc & Mayer Hawthorne.  More doubled up releases from  Tru Thoughts... Maddslinky, aka Zed Bias, has always been one of my favorite 2-step garage producers.  "Special" is true to name w/Omar on vocals... HEAT!  followed by label mates Belleruche & Hint on the remix.  Throw this mix in your phones and go on a walk, tis the season!
