This mixtape definitely reflects the sounds of London 2017
"The tape isn’t really trying to tell a story but more showing off the relationships that Places+Faces has with artists," says co-founder Ciesay. "We started off shooting musicians and we’d also put mixes on our Soundcloud. However because the songs in the mix weren’t original they always kept getting taken down, so we had the idea of using our Soundcloud as a platform where our friends could make exclusive songs and we’d push it out."
"It definitely reflects the sounds of London 2017," he adds. "When other countries, especially the States think of the UK music scene they're either looking at grime or the UK drill music and not really noticing that there’s another style of music which has similarities to music coming from the States, but is also our own sound."
