San Francisco based Nick Monaco lives by the motto: “the weirder, the funkier, the better,” which would help to explain the quirky, groovy mix he did for Thump this week following an in-depth Q&A with the Vice offshoot where he reveals his love for naked yoga and lipstick, among more obvious pursuits like writing some damn original pieces of music. Nick Monaco’s eclectic musical stylings–described in his Q&A with the five words: playful, personal, sex, feminine, breakfast-in-bed–have led him to be snatched up for release on your standard off-the-wall tastemaker labels such as Dirtybird, Wolf + Lamb, and Soul Clap. The mix is a great introduction to the Nick Monaco sound, featuring equal parts 4×4 rhythms, R&B sultriness, rollin’ bass lines, and throwback vibes for days. Stream the mix below and download it here (tracklist after the jump), and follow Nick on facebook and soundcloud for naked yoga tips and more hot music.
