KEXP's own DJ Kevin Cole (our Afternoon Show host and Senior Director of Programming) has curated a special mix for Nordic Playlist, a site that devoted to the best sounds from the North. As he explains to the site, "I went with a mix of mostly newer releases, like the Samaris track, which I love, and songs from the last couple years I love, but I couldn’t resist slipping in a few of my “classic” faves from Sigur Rós, Bjork, Trentemøller, and The Knife. I also included a track from Seattle band ODESZA — they released a deluxe edition of their latest album, In Return, with extra tracks including “Light” which features Little Dragon. I thought that was a fitting way to highlight the Seattle/Nordic connection!"

Check out his playlist below, and stream his mix on Spotify, Deezer, or Tidal.
