Let us take you on a magical trip back to the 90s. MC Hammer pants were all the rage and Walkmen were the height of new technology. Keeping this in mind, over the past few months we've been getting in touch with bands around the country and asking them to create a metaphorical mixtape containing, you guessed it, eight tracks!
This time round we bring you the first of our international mixtapes, made by guitarist Jens Feudenberg of Berlin indie-rockers, Gods of Blitz. Having supported Maximo Park, Nick Oliveri and Wolfmother, the band have drummed up support around the world: from their home country Germany as far afeild as Australia!

Title: Litle Girl
