We receive a lot of mail, music and love letters in the electroTO mailbox but it’s always nice when you haven’t checked it for a while and you return to something exciting like a new Deadfish Podcast from none other than the biggest thing in the west coast since the Vancouver Olympics. Neoteric popped us an email today and along with some kind words and the good news that he’ll be tearing down the social thanks to our boys over at the Faktory in September, he dropped us two exciting mixtapes of two distinctly different flavours.
Firstly we have something that we know you’ll love as much as we do. It’s no secret that we love Deadfish and everything associated with the label, but what makes it even better is that DJ Neoteric, the man responsible for Discobelle’s Turned on Compilation which featured our boys Gingy and John Roman, was in charge of this month’s Deadfish Podcast which is pleasing to say the least for everyone involved.
In his own words: “Tons of my favorite tracks from the past few months, plus some exclusives, and a healthy serving of the DEADFISH Family! Here’s a mix to get your summer started right!”

He was also kind enough to swing over a mixtape from a producer that I’ve really been digging lately by the name of Eli Escobar who just had a stellar release on Plant Music. The mixtape was for a series Neoteric himself runs called the “White Light Mixes”, which is basically a driving music themed mixtape renaissance of sorts which features a lot more downtempo music and a lot of DJs who aren’t afraid to let a song play out it’s duration. It’s an acquired taste but if you’re feeling up to it you may just end up really digging it and gaining some serious new roadtrip mixtapes at the same time. You can get the Eli Escobar mix here. Feel free to look around while you’re there (I quite like the Rory Phillips mix myself).
Anyways that’s all folks. Enjoy your dosage of mixtapes that should hold you out until Wednesday and the next installation in our Summer Sessions Series. Expect something Golden tomorrow. Hint Hint.
