It’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day, the holiday that divides us all. A year ago today I made a mix for my friends to celebrate the joys of friend love (and beautiful music of course), and I’m at it again, only now I have a lot more people to share this with. So make the most of today, and never fear, regardless of whether or not you’re in a relationship, always remember, Danger Loves You. Download the mix here.

Dipped in Dollars is proud to present our February Mix of the Month, where we ask an up-and-coming artist to present us with a mix/mixtape that will allow us to gain better perspective of their process/show us what we can expect to hear from them in the future. Indian Summer is a little mix I made featuring some of my favorite songs we’ve been throwing out over these last few months. It doesn’t feature any music you’ll hear on the upcoming Comanche LP, but it’s a solid example of what you’ll be hearing from our live sets. I tried to hold off on too many special effects and let the songs speak for themselves. Expect more Comanche singles/remixes/mixtapes throughout the year. Tracklist below.

Sounds of Summer 2 (Comanche) by Dipped in Dollars

I have been enamored of this track off of the forthcoming jj album ever since I heard about it here, but somehow it slipped under the radar. When everyone was all abuzz about the “Lollipop” inspired “Ecstasy” this past summer, I have to admit that I wasn’t entirely sold. That being said, I am completely on board now, and am highly anticipating this spring release, as well as the group’s appearance at SXSW. Also this description from Secretly Canadian is priceless, “jj create R&B and balearic dub from the ghosts of lost lovers; pop as delicate as a fawn’s nose across blades of frosted grass. It is the soundtrack for friends packed into the town square’s tiniest tavern, their moontanned, apple-cheeked faces glowing, their dilated pupils filled with all the meaning and meaninglessness of a magic 8-ball.” Does it get any better than that?

jj – Let Go

Washed Out – Luck

Real Estate – Pool Swimmers
