Altered Zones

Welcome to the 13th installment of AZ's monthly mix series. This time around, Raleigh Moncrief volunteered to make us a mix of what he's been listening to as of late. The Sacramento-based producer is the newest member of the Anticon Collective, and while he may not be as recognizable as labelmates Why?, Baths, and Serengeti, he's been working behind the scenes in the indie rock world for a while now, collaborating with Hella drummer Zach Hill on various projects, playing guitar in Marnie Stern's live band, and co-producing Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca. Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, this short but sweet collection highlights the bubbly sounds of Monterrey, Mexico's White Ninja, devonwho's smooth take on Nappy Roots' "Awnaw" (which is way better than P.O.D.'s version), as well as a remix Moncrief did for fellow Sacto resident and Life's Blood artist Pregnant. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
