September 2021 Mixtape

From new interpretations on Turkish folk music, to 1970s disco crossed with a house beat — September’s Mixtape has a little something for everybody. This month, James comes to you live from Field Day festival in East London as Autumn moves into the northern hemisphere. September’s Mixtape includes some Autumnal indie rock including new tracks from Elroy Finn, Old Smile, Little Archer and Erlend Øye (The Whitest Boy Alive, Kings of Convenience). There is also some electronic music towards the end including mixes from Fred Again.., LUXXURY, and Sofia Kourtesis.
