Guest Mix: Pangs of the Idealist

Data Garden is a Philadelphia based journal, record label and events producer encouraging the discovery of electronic music through the windows of history, science and community. They do really cool things, like releasing all of their digital downloads as codes on artwork that can grow into living plants.

They recently asked me to put together a guest mix. Here’s a 72 minute collection of songs from some of my favorite contemporary artists.
