Mixtape | September 2025
September rolls in with that familiar shift; summer fading, days growing shorter, and a little more coolness in the air. It’s the in-between month, where the warmth of August lingers but the pull of fall is already here. This mixtape leans into that transition: songs that carry the last glow of summer light and others that hint at the introspection of autumn nights.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise set the tone with “Dang”, a track that blends restless energy with a heavy dose of feeling. Saint Motel’s “Wait & See” keeps things buoyant, brightening the mix with its cinematic pop sweep, a reminder that change can be exciting.
On the other side of the mood, AJR’s “The Big Goodbye” leans reflective, echoing the sense of endings and beginnings that come with the turn of the season. And “Strangers” from Ripe and Cory Wong brings back the groove — playful, full of movement, a reminder that even as the air cools down, there’s still plenty of warmth to hold onto.
These tracks, and the rest of the mix, move between bright, restless energy and slower, grounding moments — perfect for back-to-school commutes, late evening walks, or simply letting the season settle in. So pour a cup of coffee, crack a window, and press play. September is was here.
