NY-via-Alabama bright spark Sharp Veins has dropped a cassette version of his essential mix for Red Bull this year.

Thinking on it, his ambient dabblings, skewed grime and taste for degradation and decay make tape an ideal medium for the young producer, who made his debut on Glacial Sound this year with Inbox Island.

The 60-minute mix comprises nothing but original productions and comes backed on the tape with three unreleased cuts and edits from the same session. You can still stream the mix online, but wouldn’t it look neat slotted between Filter Dread and Yamaneko on your tape shelf? Sniff it out on Boomkat.
