DOWNLOAD: CFCF - 'Night Bus II' Mixtape

Over a year ago, Montreal-based DJ and electronic artist CFCF (aka Michael Silver) released a great mixtape entitled Do U Like Night Bus? for free download. It followed up another free mixtape, the smooth, '80s-indebted Slow R&B For Zellers Canada-Wide, and helped to pioneer the Night Bus genre, or feeling. Now, Silver's back with another CFCF mixtape, one that features ASAP Rocky, Oneohtrix Point Never, Fever Ray, Alicia Keys, Notorious BIG, and more. You can download the mixtape below.

CFCF Releases Another Free Mixtape

Last month, Montreal-based DJ and electronic artist CFCF (real name Michael Silver) released a free mixtape entitled Slow R&B For Zellers Canada-Wide, chock full of department store ready jams. It might sound rather silly, but once you've heard it you realize how awesome it is. Don't believe me? Download it for free right here.

Fast forward to now, and CFCF proves he's a generous, let alone talented, man by releasing another free mixtape. This time around, we get the Do U Like Night Bus? mixtape, which Silver explains is actually a nod to a type of music.

'Night bus' is a silly little term that originated on Hipinion that describes not a certain genre but a certain feeling of music... can't quite describe what it is but Eno, G-Side, David Sylvian, DJ Screw, Angelo Badalamenti, Lil B, and the Akira soundtrack, are all super night bus.

CFCF Offers Up Free Mixtape, Helps You Get Down

There's something kind of kitschy about the '80s, and it's not the easiest thing to pinpoint precisely why that seems to be the case. Was it the zebra stripes? The neon colors? The sappy love ballads? It was obviously a collection of many things that helped to make it one of the most fascinating and inspiring decades of all time.

If you're looking for that love ballad that's going to get her attention or set the mood, there's a good chance the song is going to come from the '80s. The music might be a tad over the top, you might find the songs to be a little ridiculous, but, when it comes down to it, that's what makes such songs so charming. Songs from the '80s just have the right ingredients: the groove, the overindulgence of synthesizers, and those ambiguously direct lyrics that seem to apply to everyone, even if they're about a blind girl who sculpts a bust of your head.

Montreal-based DJ and electronic artist CFCF (aka Michael Silver) is offering up a free download of a mixtape that essentially captures the essence of these funky, sexy, sultry, and romantic '80s songs. It's like a soundtrack for one of those love stories when everything was all Miami Vice and hair metal. And as for the title of this mixtape, I can tell you that it is sort of like walking through a department store during the '80s -- not that I know much about that seeing as I was just a tot then.

But honestly, this is so awesome, enjoyable, and well-mixed. Get it now.
