Guest Mix: ZAK MERING (GREATEST HITS)

Look Out Look Out Mix (Mediafire 78mb)

Hey so as mentioned the other day, Zak Mering put together a mix for us and we're now super excited to share it with you! We've been consistently smitten with the ear candy this dude has put out over the past year as part of Greatest Hits, and solo under his Raw Thrills moniker. The mix has everything you'd want and expect from such a pop savant; classic '60s heartaches from The Eyes, Everly Brothers and The Hollies; maximalist disco from 94 East; '80s pop excess from Scritti Politti and Pink Project, not to mention hot unreleased collaborative material from Mering with Sam Mehran (as The Sweethearts) and James Ferraro (as Warp).

Zak sez: "this is a list of music that compels me to create music that helps me catch a glimpse of pop sensationalism that illuminates all the dark corners of my mind", we say: "get on dis already!". Thanks Zak!
