Ryan Hemsworth

'Cool DJ Mix'

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Apr 2, 2014

No one is questioning the coolness of Canadian production wiz Ryan Hemsworth, but just in case you're on the fence, the electronic figure is making his case with the somewhat jokily titled but self-explanatory package Cool DJ Mix.

Back on his mix game, the artist's first freebie playlist of the year is explained up front by a Brit tween, under the guise of Hemsworth, as being about "life, death, rap music, Japan," and more. To help get across the point, Hemsworth seamlessly blends a series of airy beats and rap verses, dabbling with material from Future, Son Lux, Beck, Tree, Jessy Lanza and more throughout the nearly 45-minute runtime.

"FIRST MIX OF 2014 AND IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK," Hemsworth said in a statement. "THIS IS WHAT MY BRAIN FEELS LIKE AND IT'S WEIRD. LISTEN TO THIS ON HEADPHONES WHEN YOU'RE ZOOTED ON A GREYHOUND BUS HEADING HOME THINKING ABOUT HER PERFECT FACE."
