As a creative, sometimes you need a little inspiration to get your mojo going. And a recent study* shows that having the right type, or simply a different type, of music flow through your speakers can change your frame of mind and get you thinking in a different way.

That said, we’ve teamed up with one of Toronto’s finest turntablists, DJ P-Plus, to shock your system with a our first installment of the Mental Mixtape. In volume one, P-Plus takes us deep into the reggae dancehalls with a selection of tracks chosen specifically to get your creative juices flowing. You can download the mix in two parts below and please come back soon for when we drop volume 2.

We hope you enjoy it and next time you need a creative kick, don’t be afraid to mix it up.
