DJ MENSA – SEASONS CHANGE

New seasons are coming this way here in Cali going from mostly sunny to cold & sunny …that was a joke, Voila!  I guess I can’t complain, the east coast is much colder.  Anyway I ran across this fresh lil mix from our dude out of Toronto DJ Mensa called seasons change. I usaully  shy away from long mixes but this one rides very nice . Check it out and let me know what you think.

“I let songs breathe, as they’re all deserved to be heard and the vibe is deserved to be felt. Some synths. Some Lo-Fi. A bunch of recognizable names. A couple unknowns. 33 tracks. 81 minutes. In the words of Stretch Armstrong, this mix is “chonky.”  DJ Mensa
