After a little bit of a break, we’ve got another mixtape ready to pleasure your ears of some of the best songs in the world right now, including new tracks from a whole host of Walrus favourites like Akiine, Zola Blood, IYES, and more.

This playlist has been made with the support of Netbet, which offers a variety of online games from virtual sports, to poker, to casino games.

Onto the music…

We kick off proceedings with the pop lullaby of Audreytina‘s Who’s Gonna Save Me? before sweeping into the soft and fragile acoustic sounds of Chantal Acda‘s Up and Down.

Archy Stranger‘s stunning slow R&B jam Fundamentalism brings in the beats, while Walrus favourite Akiine keeps proceedings sweet with the lovely Paranormal Activity.

Anna of the North brings up the tempo with the Scandi-pop The Dreamer and Laura Welsh is back to her very best with the powerful pop ballad in Sex & Violence.

So Below‘s Sleep gets the groove glowing, while Plaitum‘s LHMY is more industrial pop, and Zola Blood bring their understated indie-electornica to the party with Pieces of the Day.

The bass drum thuds in with JOY‘s electrifying and smooth soul jam About Us, while the percussion on IYES Gone is alla bit more interesting and awkward until they break into the pure pop chorus.

Camel Power Club‘s Our Son is just one of the straight up coolest songs I’ve heard in a good few months, combining blues soul vocals and folktronica in a way only they can, but then we have MakeLove‘s indie dance anthem Dancing All The Time, which might just better it to close us out.
