Ahh the art of the mixtape, an assemblage of personally selected songs usually reflecting the musical tastes of its compiler or sometimes linked by a theme or mood. Whether it’s to make a statement, an ode to loved ones, or just streams of your beloved tracks, we heart mixtapes in…

Azealia Banks is by far our fave artist to be tipped for success in 2012. And we’re not alone – not only has she been given the mark of approval by NME (she’s been chosen to take the much-coveted headline slot of the NME Tour), but ZeZe has also been…
