Oh summer, you loveable season. We love your warmth, your positive spirit and the easy going attitude that is surrounding you. We know there are people out there who are not a fan of yours but NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION surely is. And it’s also time to give you a proper musical love letter in form of a joyful summer mixtape. And who could be a better choice to provide such a mixtape than buzzing Swedish producer David Alexander and his alter ego SUMMER HEART?
With songs like U Got All I’m Looking 4 the newcomer already provided great material for our private pool parties and it looks like his taste in music follows a similar direction. For his NBHAP Guestmix Mr. Alexander compiled a few of his favourites from the wide range of synthesizer-loving tropical dreampop. Expect familiar names like WASHED OUT and DELOREAN next to talented new acts.
No matter if you’re going to spend the upcoming days on the beach, a luxurious pool or just a park near you – make sure to have this tape by your side as it will bring you joy and the desperately needed musical refreshment.
