Today’s Mixtape Monday is brought to by a dope mix curated by the forward-thinking Fade to Mind record label for The Fader magazine.  This Fade to Mind Mix is bursting with the fre$hest new bass tunes, heralding this kind of futuristic twinkling and boom baps but softened by Ciara, Beyonce and Tweet’s sensual R&B serenades.  It’s full of rage energy and extra bass, but gentle enough (at times) to get some electric relaxation.

All the artists on this mix are either housed by Fade to Mind or its sister label from London, Night Slugs.  Both of these labels have the same goal – to pro-actively and collaboratively bring bass music to the forefront of the music scene via innovative artists with like-minded initiatives.  Clearly, this is an act of kismet.  The Kingdom-led Fade to Mind label pulled artists and tracks from both labels to procure a Fader Mix so harmonic and synchronized that I can hardly even tell who is who sometimes.  With this mix, I wouldn’t dare say it’s a bad thing – each artist clearly has their own flavor and you can certainly taste them within this forty-minute journey, but it’s just so impressive how well each artist meshes so well with the next.
