Curator’s Cuts is a new LWE podcast series in which our reviewing staff mixes together recent favorites and provides explanations for their selections. We’re kicking off the series with a podcast from LWE editor-in-chief, Steve Mizek, which first debuted earlier today on Modyfier; there you can read a full explanation of the process behind the mix. We won’t be posting the tracklist until a few days after publishing, as each curator discloses and describes the tracklist as part of the podcast. We hope you enjoy Curator’s Cuts 01 and encourage you to comment with your thoughts on the series.
