To me, selecting and sharing these tracks with you is a way of cataloging the best of the best each month. It, also, somehow resembles the time I used to collect tapes. I gather something worth keeping and I display it just like I did with cassettes on my shelves back in the day. Fun fact: including this selection, the meter currently clocks around 3300 songs collected since the first mixtape. We’ve come a long way, baby.

I hope this mix will help you a little with saying goodbye to the summer and come to term with days getting shorter. Or you can just pretend it’s not really happening. I might go with the second option, while I’m listening to the summertime bangers on the loop.
