Summer is officially over, so gently kiss it goodbye with a carefully curated End Of Summer mixtape courtesy of music magazine Wax Poetics. Beginning with Lee Fields’ “Honey Dove (Soul Fire)” and culminating with Mayor Hawthorne‘s “Thin Moon,” the 19-track effort (crafted by Eric Leucking) is the ideal way to kick back and relax.
In addition to contributions from labels like Daptone and Stones Throw Records, it also features work from lesser-known imprints like Marlow out of Canada, Secret Stash out of Minnesota, and Colemine in Ohio. Check out the tracklist below.
