January Mix 2012


I haven't mixed one of these playlist in Logic since July. Since it's a new year, I've decided to try it once again. Remember, the idea is you let the single mp3 file play through completely the first time around, forcing yourself to actually listen to every song thoroughly (instead of skipping after 10 seconds), and then download the Zip file with all the individual tracks. It's a little old school, but I feel this way is better for the listener and might actually decrease the amount of songs that unfortunately get slept on.

January it self was a pretty rough start for Hip Hop releases. With only really about 3 releases that I cared for, it was definitely hard to come up with a playlist this time around. So much for my notion of too much music coming out. This month actually felt like more of a shortage than a surplus; compared to previous months in which I've put together mixes. This is actually displayed in this mix since it's only 12 tracks long (shortest mix thus far). Regardless the mix is still great with its balance of both soothing, thought provoking melodies and upbeat, head nodding slappers.

Best song of the month goes to Chip Tha Ripper. As a matter of fact, so does best cover art.



Download January Mix 2012 and then the Zip.
