The synths were calling, and I had to answer. They said, they wanted to be considered as an instrument that expresses the blues. After all, the folks cry in the club for a reason, right? Anyways, this mix combines synths of EDM with smooth, jazzy hip-hop, R&B, and a bit of folk music. Shoutout to the Nepali artist featured in this set, Yugal Gurung.

Way back when, I submitted a mix to Wav.Cation, an Austin based DJ experience, where music is played from one given genre as a way to showcase and elevate the roots of that respective genre. For this mix, I chose Amapiano, who’s roots are grounded in South Africa. Amapiano is known for its delicate vibes and jazzy spin to house music, where one of the key musical instruments includes the piano from which its name is given. It hasn’t been chosen *yet* but I really fw this mix and wanted to share it.
