While it's not exactly the start of a new week,
The Magician has blessed us with an hour of new tunes in the 89th edition of his Magic Tape series, perfect for pushing through the doldrums that is another ride around the calendar rows. Heavy on the unreleased content, even more so than usual, this mix features, at least what we believe to be, the likes of forthcoming
A-Trak and
The Aston Shuffle as well as recently released
Mike Mago,
Disclosure and
The Black Madonna. While the heart of this tape is house,
The Magician makes sure to offer up twists of acid, disco, funk, RnB, piano and more. It's not heavy on mixing but rather more focused on letting the beauty of each piece breathe, and boy does it feel good to let this uplifting oxygen into our lungs. While I've nearly made it through the whole tape for a second time, and a full listen is a must, I think I've pinpointed my favourite section, that being the trio of IDs between
Disclosure's "Talk" VIP and
A-Trak's "Work It Out," which drops Thursday on
Fool's Gold. Stream the whole mix below and find at least a partial tracklist via 1001tracklists
