The Kickoff: Mario Basanov - 2013 July Mix


Here's a killer mix to start off the week. It comes courtesy of Lithuanian producer Mario Basanov, recorded for Italy's Rai Radio2 In The Mix show. Basanov starts with a bit of funky disco, but wastes no time getting to some serious house. The rest of the mix floats around an overall lush, tribal and jazzy vibe. At times it's more uplifting, and others get rather dark. It's actually quite stunning. Usually I reserve "stunning" for art, but this truly is a masterpiece. Sorry Rembrandt (Monday was his birthday), Basanov's got full attention right now.
