There are thousands of summer mixes uploaded to SoundCloud and Mixcloud every June. Why should you invest your time in ?

The mix starts not with a bass drop, but with the ambient sound of waves crashing and distant seagulls—an audio cue that immediately sets the "summer" theme. Mutesa slowly layers a Rhodes piano chord progression over a dusty 115 BPM beat. The first vocal track is an exclusive, unreleased edit of "Koroba" by Asake, stripped down to its bare percussive bones. It’s not a banger; it’s a sunrise.

Is perfect? No mix is, but this one comes terrifyingly close. The only flaw is that it ends. If you are a DJ, take notes on how he uses EQ to cut the bass on Track A while sliding in the bass from Track B—it’s textbook.
