Originally inspired by Grist’s mixtape love letter to the parks, we’ve been putting together annual summer mix tapes featuring agrarian-inspired riddims. Check out these links to our previous mix-tapes, Volume 1 and Volume 2. This year, we’ve pulled together some great tracts to accompany our particularly tempestuous season. We hope you like these melodies as much as we do. Turn it up, up, up.
