janet davis: colectivo futurecast 008

The next installment of the Colectivo Futurecast comes courtesy of K.atou aka Janet Davis. Our main girl from Athens, Greece delivers a stunning one and a half hour long mixtape, collecting some of her favorite cuts to cruise to. You can normally find K.atou spinning choice house & techno cuts around the globe, but when her alter ego takes over, be prepared to expect the unexpected. If you’re looking for a selection to space out to, this is just what you need.

INFO & LINER NOTES BY K.atou

“My alter ego Janet (Davis) made this mix as a collection of 1.5 hours of all the songs she likes to hear when she cruises on her car around the beach and sings along with open windows… most of the tracks, I have passed countless hours listening to on repeat. It’s the non-techno music I like to hear whenever I’m not in a club and ranges from classical, to shoe-gaze and ambient, indie, and soul. I have been as lazy as a mexican donkey for the longest time to record a mixtape for myself and be able to hear it from time to time, so it’s nice to finally make it happen on this occasion. This mix also includes a lot of influences and eternal music loves.”
