Consider this your warning: this week’s mixtape is eclectic, very eclectic.

In the post-Summer/pre-Fall season, there have been a number of album releases coming from some of our favorite IC Artist Ambassadors that we find necessary to highlight. We hope you enjoy the new songs.

Launch the mix by streaming below or click the link [HERE].

01. ATLAS GENIUS – “Centered On You (St. Lucia Remix)” :: If you’re unaware of my obsession of the artists exploding out of Australia by now, then you must have just woken up from hibernation. And anything St. Lucia decides to remix inevitably turns to gold. This track is an appropriate way to start the mix and the week.

02. DEER TICK – “Just Friends” :: Released just yesterday on John’s newest record entitled Negativity, this song feels like the good end of a summer day. PS: They’re playing the CONAN O’BRIEN SHOW TONIGHT. Tune in!

03. LAURA WELSH – “Undiscovered” :: There was some serious buzz generated for this UK gem after she completely owned her opening slot under Ellie Goulding at the iTunes Festival. Look out for this one.

04. NATHANIEL RATELIFF – “Still Trying” :: Recommended by the lovely Danielle Gano, Nathaniel’s newest record Falling Faster Than You Can Run has been on serious rotation all morning. Enjoy the honesty that pierces through the sound waves from this Denver-based songwriter.

05. ARTHUR BEATRICE – “Grand Union” :: This brand new single is solidifying my love for this London artist, after being introduced to him through his Carter EP.

06. BELGIAN FOG – “YouDriveMeToMadness” :: I really love how Robert juxtaposes beautifully sweeping vocal melodies with obscure synth sounds in this song.

07. BODY PARTS – “People” :: I feel like I’m driving a Crown Vic through the streets of downtown LA in 1979 when I listen to this song.

08. SLEEPING AT LAST – “Moon” :: From the brand new Space EP 1, Ryan O’Neal has a rare talent of continually 1-up’ing himself. This song will give you dreams of being what every kid wanted to grow up to be, an astronaut.
