The Kickoff: REFLEX - Mixtape 21

French duo REFLEX always sends out good vibes. Their balearic, upbeat sound is guaranteed to make you let loose and put a smile on your face. This week they released a brand new mixtape that's packed with lots of great tunes. Sadly, no originals appear in the mix, but take a peek at the tracklist to take note of all the goodness while you're listening. 

The Kickoff: REFLEX Mixtape #20 Special ASIA TOUR

French duo REFLEX, simply nailed this mix! It's got a slew of my favorite tracks at the moment, mainly Edwin Van Cleef's new one. The two are about to embark on a little tour in Asia. To celebrate and kick things off, they put together this wonderful mix. Thanks guys!

The Kickoff: Zimmer - La Crique | August Tape

Even though I'm not going back to school, this week marks the end of summer in my mind. August is at its final days, and it's so hard not to look toward cool weather with the calendar promoting September. Let's make time for one last beach celebration. Zimmer, the master de la plage and all things horizontal disco, wraps up the summer months with the perfect tracks for the occasion. A good number of these tracks are up on SoundCloud for free download, so make sure to grab your little party favors after listening!

The Kickoff: Heart & Soul - Jerry Bouthier mixtape (6-13)

Monday turned out to be a total washout. Perhaps all the rain in New Jersey kept away any promising mixes. Redeeming the start to the week is Jerry Bouthier -- a fixture of the French label Kitsuné, the man with the hat cranking out these poppy, insanely fun and playful mixes, and a personal favorite. Bouthier's goal was to combine the dancefloor and the catwalk, so grab your tallest stilettos and get ready to dance.
