French producer Brodinski drops a new 23-track mix today titled The Purple Ride Mixtape. Known best for his electro and hip-hop productions, The Purple Ride moreso genre skips than stays loyal to any particular sound — think everyone from King Louie, R.

Words of wisdom from New York's Church Street Gym
“You look like all the nerds just had a convention on your body. As if all the nerds in the world said, ‘You know what, I know where to go.’ And they chose your ass.” Enough said. Nice touch on the Always Sunny In Philadelphia them music as well..
