Run Away (Late Night Drive Mixtape)

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." - Bob Dylan

This post is long overdue. I've had this mixtape in mind since the start of the semester and I had been putting it together for months now, but I never really found time to post it. So before my finals lockdown, here goes.

Three things had huge influence in setting the tone of this list. First is Drive (2011)'s OST. I highly encourage you to watch the movie before you listen to this mixtape. The other is Dubstep. A few appreciates dub because, let's admit it, some of them are nothing but Transformer robot noise; but a lot are really good. Sound Remedy's remix of Beethoven's Midnight Sonata, The 2 Bear's remix of DCFC's You Are A Tourist, and a dub remix of Kings and Queens will change how you earspective towards dub. Last, there is the genius that is M83. Opening the mixtape is their most popular single - Midnight City. I'll let it speak for its brilliance. If you have time, check the many remixes online but I'd highly recommend those by Who Killed JR and by Alcala. Enjoy!
