Good day and welcome to the July 2024 New Music Mix Tape, featuring all the very best music from the month of July, right here on KMTJ-DB – Your Mix Tape Journey – Denver, Colorado.
I’m DJ Ponyboy. Thank you so much for joining me today; have we got a show for you!
Here is Felix Jaehn and Sophie Ellis-Bextor kicking us off with “Ready For Your Love”.
Jaehn is a German DJ and music producer, active since 2013, and Ellis-Bextor is a British singer and songwriter, active since the 1990s – I recognize her from Spiller’s 2000 track “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)”.
Nemahsis is a Palestinian-Canadian pop singer from Toronto, Ontario who first gained popularity singing Adele covers on TikTok, releasing her first original single in 2012.
Here is her latest track, “Fine Print” on KMTJ-DB, Denver.
Nemahsis with “Fine Print”.
One of my favourite new artists is Teddy Swims. Gaining popularity covering songs on YouTube in 2019 and 2020, he first charted with original music in 2022.
I really enjoy his unique sound, influenced by country, pop, soul, and R&B.
Enjoy his newest song “Funeral”.
“New” country artist Charley Crockett has released twelve albums since 2015, but is just now gaining major traction in the country music scene. In September 2023, Crockett was nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year at the 2023 Americana Music Honors & Awards. Additionally, his music is featured on the soundtrack for the new movie Twisters in theatres now.
I’m DJ Ponyboy and this is Charley Crockett with his newest track, “Visions of Dallas”.
We continue from country to rap. Active since 2009, MGK (the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly) has a new track out.
Here is “El Pistolero” on KMTJ-DB, Denver.
While our next song is probably my favourite of this mix tape, it warrants a trigger warning for themes of sexual assault. New artist Grace Power is killing it and I am excited to hear what else she will share with us.
Enjoy “Weeping Willow” by Grace Power.
New track “Sever” from Canadian artist, seven-time Grammy winner Deadmau5. Before that we heard from Grace Power with her new song “Weeping Willow”.
Up next, have you heard Eminem’s new album? It’s fire and I think this might be my favourite track from it.
Jelly Roll has been killing it, collaborating with lots of different artists, including this collab with Eminem.
Here is “Somebody Save Me” on KMTJ-DB – Your Mix Tape Journey – Denver, Colorado.
This next track reminds me of the punk I fell in love with in high school, giving echoes of Ramones, Relient K, and even Green Day.
Here is Chubby and the Gang with “To Be Young”.
Up next, new Childish Gambino, from the album rumoured to be the last Glover will release under the moniker.
I’m DJ Ponyboy and this is Childish Gambino with “Lithonia”.
“Nobody Gives a Fuck”.
Fam, I do. I am so glad you’re here. I give a fuck and I want you to be happy, healthy, and wealthy. You brighten my day and I hope in some small way I brighten yours.
Yesterday, August 3rd, was Esther Day, a holiday celebrating non-romantic love, particularly between family and friends.
Join me next week for Side A of our mix tape celebrating Esther Day 2024. In the meantime, tell someone you love how much they mean to you.
Enjoy King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard with “Le Risque” on KMTJ-DB, Denver.
YG, Lil Yachty, and Babyface Ray with “Stupid”. Before that, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard with “Le Risque”.
New artist D4vd has been active since 2022, getting his start by making original music for use in the background of Fortnite video game montages on YouTube.
Here is his newest track, “There Goes My Baby”.
Joy Oladakun was featured on my April 2024 New Music Mix Tape and continues to impress; that was her new offering “Drugs”.
Origami Angel is an American rock band from Washington D.C.
Enjoy their newest release, “Dirty Mirror Selfie” here on Your Mix Tape Journey, KMTJ-DB, Denver.
I’m DJ Ponyboy and that was Origami Angel. Thank you for joining me today and the first Sunday of every month for the New Music Mix Tape, containing the very best songs from the previous month.
Every third Sunday I release my Connections Mix Tape, revealing unlikely connections between songs across space, time, and genre.
The remaining weeks’ mix tapes fit a theme; this month’s is the celebration of non-romantic love.
Continuing the music, here is Flyana Boss with “Hot Butter Summertime”.
What a bangin’ summer tune! Speaking of summer vibes, make sure to check out my very first theme mix tape, A Very Oldies Summer Mix Tape.
But first, listen to Gucci Mane and JT with “Chanel Bag” right here on KMTJ-DB, Denver, Colorado.
Earlier we heard Jelly Roll collab with Eminem; here is a new solo effort from him – Jelly Roll with “Dead End Road”.
American rapper Ice Spice has been active since 2021.
If you are one of our Patreon members in tiers Beat Backer or above, you may remember Ice Spice from the June 2024 Honorable Mentions playlist when I included her song “Phat Butt”. Or, perhaps from the May 2024 Honorable Mentions playlist which included her song “Gimme A Light”.

Collaborating with Travis Scott, here is Ice Spice with “Oh Shhh…” on KMTJ-DB, Denver, Colorado.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: thank you for your company. I hope you had a great time today and were able to go home with one (or more) new songs for your music library.
To close out our mix tape, here is Maddie and Tae with “Free Like”.
I hope you are able to achieve freedom from that which holds you back.
Thank you for joining me today on KMTJ-DB – Your Mix Tape Journey – Denver, Colorado.
Until next time, I’m DJ Ponyboy asking you to stay gold.
