905 Mixtape: Summerscent

It’s that time of year again. The time when you know Summer is coming but it’s not quite here. The sky is getting brighter, the grass is getting greener and life seems to be picking up after the dark winter. This is the time when we fall back in love with nature. We start to remember how much we love biking around town or tanning on the grass. The daily grind seems to fade away and time just starts to fly. This mixtape provides the perfect soundtrack for this time of year. This mixtape is for wearing flip flops and shorts for the first time in 4 months. It’s for blazing down the highway and blasting your favorite tunes with the windows down. It’s for having a cold beer with some friends in your backyard. It’s for looking up at the blue sky and realizing that everything will be alright. Enjoy.

Daily Tune: Tayyib Ali ft Cisco Adler – Ride With Us

This is the time in when all the Music Blogs turn their attention to “Summer Tracks”. Everyone is tired of the winter and can’t wait for the time when the shorts come out, the music festivals start and life gets a little brighter. This track captures the essence of the Summer track and just about every way. Cisco Adler’s laidback vocals lend themselves to the very west coast sounding hook similar to his hit “California Girl” last Summer with Schwayze. Add in Tayyib Ali’s clever rhymes and effortless flow and you’ve got a great tune to blast in the car on the way to the beach. This might not be a groundbreaking summer track that will rule the whole season (like 2010’s “Pumped Up Kicks” or 2011’s “Young Blood”) but it’ll definitely keep your ears pleased until the inevitable summer indie-hit blows up.
