I’m such a Ryan Hemsworth fangirl. Sorry not sorry. He’s such a babe AND he’s super dope in the studio and behind the decks. It’s an enticing combo worth exploring okay. I can’t help myself. But lemme stop before Reed takes away my taco stipend for gushing over boys all over his website. 
ANYWAY. Ryan Hemsworth stopped by U Street Music Hall last week to play with Schlomo and Daedelus and now I’m in love all over again. Bias aside, his opening set was undoubtedly the highlight of the night. His sounds are so hip-hop and R&B driven that you would never imagine it coming from this hipster-lookin’ white dude but it so is and it’s awesome. He’s sitting on a goldmine of syrupy, slow-motion edits and remixes of tracks like KP & Envyi’s “Shorty Swing My Way” and Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You” that are perfect for late night boo-lovin’ or something to listen to after you overdose on reruns of The O.C.
Here’s his latest mix for The Fader, which Hemsworth admits is a bit sad, but I think it’s just on some low-key dope tip. He sprinkles in a few of his own productions in this mix, along with a slew of other top-notch tunes to catch some vibes to. And if you wanna get to know him a bit more, here’s the interview that accompanied the mix. Enjoy!
