Our friends at Senzu are back with the latest installment of their forward thinking mixtape series, and this volume includes one of our Comanche beats from the mix we made for Astro Nautico. You can pick your price for this beast on their bandcamp or snag it here for free.

Comanche will be mixing live at the Blood Feast Halloween extravaganza here in Minneapolis this Friday night and again at the Cause Sound Bar next Thursday. To get geared up for these shows, we have decided to toss up a few b-sides from Silicon Basilica, Comanche‘s forthcoming release. If you are in the area, be sure to check out the shows.

Substitute Teachers is our (semi)regular mix series, where we let go of the reins for once, and allow someone else to teach you a thing or two about music. This episode is brought to you by Akutou, a designer and all-around badass. I was instructed by a trusted friend to listen to his Fiesta de Go! mix a few months ago, and I never looked back. He’s crafted this magnificent mix for us entitled SWARMTH, and there isn’t much to say except we highly recommend you press play and let it wrap you in its hazy arms during these last days of summer.
