When i first started putting together the new 5:4 mixtape, my intention – inspired by the sunshine of summer – was to focus on the colour yellow. However, i also allowed gold and orange onto the shortlist as well, and in the end, completely by chance, gold has almost completely taken over. i’ve already created a summer mixtape, and while this isn’t another one, i definitely put it together with the happiness of summertime uppermost in mind. As such, while there are some darker hues in the mix, i’ve veered heavily towards lightness and brightness, including a number of tracks that incorporate sounds of nature.
Two hours of sounds that in different ways and for different reasons glitter and shine; here’s the tracklisting in full, together with approximate timings and links to obtain the music.
