Live Review: LISTEN: The Magician 'Magic Tape Twenty-Three'

Summer feeling like a distant memory? Give The Magician's Magic Tape Twenty-Three a spin. It certainly cured Dom's winter blues...

Music is best when it can transport you to a particular time or place. THE MAGICIAN’s Magic Tape Twenty Three (that’s right, there are twenty-two others) retains that quality, taking listeners to a much sunnier, gayer time.

The disco overtones and squelchy bassline make this mixtape the perfect soundtrack to the pool party you’re not having because it’s too cold.

If you like your house music, this collection of fruity, upbeat, Oxford-street-friendly anthems will get you through your winter blues. And if that doesn’t grab you, his profile picture on Facebook certainly will. Seriously, what the fuck?

30 000 likes can’t be wrong, can they?
