The weekend is about to land. And let's jump into the weekend like there's no tomorrow. We need something that will make us smile. I have found something very interesting that might make you smile, and will make you sad at the same time. Remember the label 'Stamina Records', who seized operation last year (I think it was last year)? K-Wire made a mix to commemorate this legendary label, and he's planning on making more of these, as this is part one. I don't know how many parts there will be, but however many it might be, it will be a sad reminder that the label is now defunct. And that is sad news.
The label had so many great releases. A few of them will you find in K-Wire's mix. A trip down memory lane, honouring one of the greatest labels in Freeform history. I only found this mix the other day, but it's been on repeat since early this morning. Everyone who reads this blog knows how much I love Freeform and how much I adore Stamina Records. I was really gutted that they stopped doing what they did best, but understood the reasons behind their decision. It still hurts though. The label was so damn awesome.
They had a cool logo, but most of all, they had excellent music! By some of the finest Freeform producers, including K-Wire. Couldn't leave his own music out. That would have been a tad silly. But he has picked 16 records, crammed them into a 66 minute long mix, and brought us back to Freeform Heaven. And it's a good mix to start your weekend with, right?

Wonderful looking tracklist, right? It looks gorgeous, and it immediately brings back happy memories. I remember when they had their own show on Soundcloud, the podcast series. And their own mix series. Their albums were insanely good. Boy, do I miss this specific sounding Freeform, I do miss it a lot.
K-Wire's mix is very interesting. Trip down memory lane. And the tracks he has selected are all solid as a rock. Well, maybe not the first one. I've heard that one before, not sure if I like it or not. But surely all the others are doing some serious damage in my head. My ears are bleeding profusely.
There are some underrated records in here, like 'Massenya', 'GTFO', 'Disorder', 'Greatest Adventure', but the one that gets the most hands in the air (=mine) is Kounta Kulture's 'Undone'. What an epic record. Seriously underrated.
I do miss the Stamina Records songs. Top quality Freeform records. K-Wire's done a great job in creating the first out of many mixes. Hopefully they will as good as this one. Can't go wrong, right? It's Stamina Records, for crying out loud!
