This week we have something special. You see, Boy 8-Bit is a bit of a fav here at Staying Sick. Having featured in a Mix Monday before this guy can most certainly put a mix together. After listening to this mixtape quite a few times what's impacting is how it still remains so fresh. The extremely clever, non-commercial and broad selection of tracks leaves you with something lasting. The mix is simple but not boring and shows that sometimes less is more. I'll stop raving just download it and see what I mean.
Here's what the man had to say bout it:
"This mix is different from my other mixtapes in the past. I’ve been doing a lot of touring this summer, and I have pool of records I really enjoyed playing. I wanted to put down a mix that reflected this. Basically I picked some tunes out of this pool and decided to make a no frills mix with them. Not as complex as my other mixes, but probably a more truthful reflection of what I play when I DJ out."

Bonus:
This is a tune. Everything Boy 8-Bit seems to produce is different from the last. This uses a vocal which is somewhat uncharacteristic however the strong female vocal from Florence & The Machine is used to create an interesting and powerful 6 and half minute piece of music. (You know those chicks who say 'play something we can sing along to' - play this!)
