I've been dying to do another DI and I reckon this might just be my favourite list. I have never used most of these artists before and in fact, most of this music has come out very recently - a fair chunk of it I've only had for a few weeks. But it all fits together. I place a great deal of importance on transitions and I'm really happy with all of these. Thematically, this list kind of follows where I've been at in my life over the last little bit. It just sounds like where I'm at. It's the music I listen to. Hope you like it. PS: My track 31 actually isn't 24 minutes long. Well, it is, but the first four minutes are the song and then it transitions into like 20 minutes of beach noise which obviously isn't compulsory listening.

This is so unintentionally a very Hivey list, from the 00/10s heaviness to the complete lack of female artists - the latter was honestly intentional as an experiment to see if anyone would care or notice, and was also to challenge my own internal misogyny/self hate, but instead it just makes me look like a Brau-level dick. We all have our crosses to bear. The flow is probably all over the place but I was kind of inspired by galleries I've visited that have displayed artwork based on an overriding theme or feel rather than through medium or era. This all sounds so fucking pretentious, sorry. This is just a bunch of songs by other people. Anyway, here it is!! Happy Listening
