Young Empires is on tour and coming to Madison and we asked them to make us a mixtape before their show on Wednesday, February 6th at The Frequency. The band’s contribution turned out better than we could hope for, expertly mixed and with an amazing flow. We’ve been sitting on the mix for a week waiting for the track list and a name, but we can’t keep it from you any longer. Give it a listen, get pumped, and check back to see if we were able to fill in the gaps of what we couldn’t sleuth out.When we released the mix earlier this week we didn’t have a full track list, but we’ve got it now and are further impressed with its expert craft. Please enjoy and let us know what you think (and be sure to give the boys a big thank you for giving us such a wonderful mix)!

Over the course of 2012, I fell in love with Night Moves. The first time I saw them play “Horses” I was hooked, and having a hard-won, mid-set staring contest with vocalist/guitarist John Pelant at the Swan Dive in Austin during SXSW sealed the deal. Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano, and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema bring the sounds of the sun-baked south of the 70s to their Minneapolitan home, drenching it in Purple Rain-soaked vibes. On Thursday, January 24th, 2013, Night Moves will play the first night of FRZN Fest at the High Noon in Madison, Wisconsin along with Wild Belle, Psychic Twin, and Ramona Falls. When we heard Night Moves was coming to town, we asked them to make us a mixtape. Below is their video mix, just in time to set the mood for their upcoming set. Hope to see y’all there!
