sūp:urbia – dubiety

just squeezed this mix in before the start of the new month. with the new job, the upcoming move this summer, and all of the doubt and uncertainty that comes with the future, while at the same time trying to wrap up ongoing things, life and my sanity have been all over the place–back and forth. that, combined with the lack of spring/early summer weather here in seattle this month has simply amplified that chaotic and bipolar feeling, which gave way to the title of this mix and the overall sound the tracks combine to create.

enjoy the tracks.
