Welcome to a brand new chapter of In the Mix as we kick off July 2026 with a fresh curation of stunning new releases from around the globe selected by Jim Bricker (X: @jbbricker). This volume dives deep into highly atmospheric, texture-rich soundscapes that seamlessly shift from delicate, classically-infused minimalism to driving, indie-inspired rhythms. We begin the journey with the brilliant Sebastian Plano and his evocative track “Every Beginning,” setting a cinematic, introspective tone for the mix. Listeners will also be treated to the gorgeous, sun-dappled textures of Tasha’s “Perfect” and the compelling, genre-blending indie pull of “Blood” by mary in the junkyard.
As the mix unfolds, the sonic landscape expands into diverse stylistic territory. We explore the rich country-soul harmonies of The Shires on “house of cards,” balanced by the hypnotic, looping electronica of Dari Bay’s “Finder”. The energy shifts beautifully with the relentless, unyielding groove of Margo Price’s “Can’t Stand Still,” before diving into the moody, intricate depths of mildred’s “Cobwebs”. Whether you’re tuning in for the avant-garde exploration or the soaring melodies, this volume offers a perfectly balanced journey through the absolute best of this month’s new music landscape.
