This mix was selected by Gabe Bogart, old friend and colleague from the site before this one, occasional contributor to ACL. Back in 2013, I asked him for some hip hop producer recommendations, and we put together these beat-centric mixes. We had talked about doing some more of those, during the pandemic Gabe sent me over a batch of tracks he’d been enjoying, which I mixed during a particularly cold winter night early in 2021. I sat on that session for a long time, went back and thought I’d mix it afresh but found I enjoyed it as is. (Joseph Sannicandro)
