July 2025 Mixtape
The July mixtape is all about low-key summer jams. The mix has new music featuring Damon Albarn, Vegyn, AIR, Sholto, Chitinous Mandible, Beach For Tiger, Assaf Spector, and John Carroll Kirby. From indie and jazz, to ambient and psychedelic soul… this month’s mix is like a tropical soundtrack groove to summer.
The mixtape is also on Spotify now! If you want to listen to some of the songs on this month’s podcast (as well as tracks from other mixtapes from this year), go check out The New LoFi Mixtape on Spotify.
And just before we get into the music, here are a few videos featured on the mix this month:
The new Africa Express single, “Soledad” featuring Damon Albarn
A collage animation for the new Hot Mustard single, “Melt The Wind”
By the way, Björn Yttling (Peter Björn and John) has taken over the Jazz Underground this month. If you are even a little bit jazz curious, check out how Björn takes us on an instrumental odyssey through the underground sound of jazz. Have a listen here, or follow the Jazz Underground playlist on Spotify.
