USB: Mixtape

The clever people of SUCK have created a solution to all of your modern day mixtape problems. Rather than sending it by dropbox only to have the order of the mix completely shuffled or burning it on to a boring CD, a mixTAPE has something sentimental about it. I like making them and people like receiving them in tape format. Make a mixtape its fun (again). Six different styles to choose from.

THE WEEKND: House Of Balloons

An album that has had a huge amount of internet hype. I'm still not sold on the whole new R'n'B vibe, maybe it's because Chris Brown has given it such a bad name. But hey as far as sampling and smooth sounds go it's pretty damn good. We're not talking R'n'B jams like Sam Cooke, now that is a totally different story. You can download the mixtape here.
