You have, hands down, the dopest music blog in the world. This mix is awesome. Keep doing your thang Chris.

killer
Keegan | Posted at 3:48PM, Jan 28th

Thank you for taking the time to make these, among my favorite mix’s from any music blogs. cheers.
figg | Posted at 2:34PM, Jan 29th

your mixtapes are fucking dope. keep repping west coast hiphop TDE coming up.
cmizzl | Posted at 6:52PM, Jan 29th

ima read is just not at all a good song….. am i missing something here? The last 30-60 seconds of the song consist of zebra grunting in rhythm with a shitty beat. how the hell do you “read [a] bitch”??
- ianisme | Posted at 2:05AM, Jan 31st
  
  I think reading a bitch is like reading your opponent.. in a chess game or a boxing match or what have you. You read your opponent and then teach ‘em a lesson. Am i right?
  - thismixisahhhmazing | Posted at 4:14PM, Feb 7th
    
    reading is similar to a freestyle battle ( i mean a REAL freestyle battle not the stuff you see on the BET awards) or what my mom would call “snapping.” a battle of funny, quick witted insults.
    
    find yourself a drag queen, they’ll teach you how to read!
- John | Posted at 2:33AM, Jan 31st
  
  Imma skip through that bitch
- stephan | Posted at 10:09PM, Feb 1st
  
  reading is fundamental udb

Markus | Posted at 5:38AM, Jan 30th

Adam Antine | Posted at 8:30AM, Jan 30th

The new Grimes leaked and I has it. It’s dope. Period. Though nothing else on there touches Genesis.

Legitimately incredible. Favourite mix you’ve put out yet.

Evian Christ = HUGE

That Oneohtrix Point Never jam is goodness.
cheato | Posted at 7:02PM, Feb 2nd

awesome mix! really digging the fort romeau track.

i made a cue sheet, if anyone is interested (or in those for other mixes too).
Dibbitso | Posted at 10:28AM, Feb 3rd

Where does one download the song;
Fort Romeau – say something
I need it on my iPod!
Charles vom Bauch | Posted at 9:43AM, Feb 7th

Chris, sometimes I think to myself: “I should really do something nice for that guy in TX that makes awesome mixes every month.” Do you accept gift baskets?
Geer | Posted at 10:43AM, Feb 8th

Good mix but I did not like that BITCH song at all.
baho | Posted at 7:06AM, Feb 9th

Absolutely breath-taking, greatest mix ever,
so good for my insomnia head
shaun | Posted at 1:14PM, Feb 10th

like everyone is saying here- stellar mix, except for that atrocious bitch-reading cut. that song wasn’t worth 20 seconds the first time you posted it, GvB.
anon | Posted at 3:59PM, Feb 13th

a bad ass mix. congrats!
Carly | Posted at 9:57AM, Feb 15th

schoolboy q + menomena = <3 !!!
tayharris | Posted at 12:21AM, Feb 21st

i love these. wish they were tracked out. not for skips but to restart a song when you come in half way. great shit.
