According to his twitter bio, Nick Koenig aka Hot Sugar is the most #Intimate & #Romantic artist of 2013. Making music from field recordings, the NY producer self-released his latest EP featuring appearances from Heems, Kool AD and Antwon. We asked him to take a break from making his album and get his mystical mix on for i-D. Primarily instrumental, this mixtape will more than likely invoke nightly nightmares. Don't be square... press play if you dare.

Snazzy beats. Soft vocal harmonies. This was a different kind of improv for us. Just synths, vocals, and drum machines running throguh samplers into a Tascam DR-40 Handheld recorder.

Took about 20 minutes to sample and record this goodness.
