The latest BLANKS mixtape is a live recording from Halloween weekend. BLANKS threw down a big one in conjunction with Robot Church, taking over a massive multi-room space in East Williamsburg with bands, DJs, VJs, performance artists, etc. Highlights of the mix include the latest release by Diplo & Switch’s collaboration- Major Lazer. ‘Original Don’ is a BIG tune but not really meant for friendly dance floors and will likely never be remade into a Beyonce track. Diplo shows up again later in the mix with his production work on Lil Wayne’s Two Shots. Also check out the two tunes from Pelican Fly’s Richelle and LOL Boys and the final track by Untold remixed by James Blake.
And if you weren't in New York on Halloween weekend, it helps to know that it was starting to look a bit like Xmas.
