Mixtape: Waking up vs. Winding down

With exciting new music releases and a slew of upcoming concerts, Montreal in the autumn is  the best place to experience music. As you walk to school on leaf-covered streets or study in your favorite café, music can add that extra spice to your day. As the days get shorter, waking up in the morning becomes an increasingly greater challenge. The right music can give you that extra push you need to face the cold of tomorrow.

Lucky for you, we have the remedy for the morning blues. Side A of this mixtape features music that will get you going in the morning.  As your grueling day comes to an end and you curl up at home with a cup of tea, Side B will help you unwind and expel thoughts of assignments and papers.
