Altered Zones

Welcome to the 12th installment of our monthly mix series! For the past year, we've been getting some of our favorite artists to compile their favorite tracks posted on AZ in the past month, along with whatever else they've been loving lately. This time around we got Star Slinger, who's been making waves with his remixes for Toro Y Moi, Daedelus, and Washed Out as he gears up for a month-long North American tour with Mux Mool and Shlohmo. In this mix, the UK producer highlights straight-up sick jams like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "Crossroads," Big Krit's "R4 Theme Song," and Guido's "Mad Sax"-- a cut also chosen by Hard Mix back in February. The dude also throws in a few tracks of his own, including reworks of Musical Youth and Gold Panda, while also spotlighting Zach Hill's newest project, Death Grips, and past collaborator Teams. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
