HTRK

Perhaps the most poignant mix on this list, HTRK’s “Mixtape for Sean” was released in memory of the band’s bass player Sean Stewart, who committed suicide in 2010. The mix features Nina Simone’s sublime version of Randy Newman’s “Baltimore,” along with ominous dub, minimal techno, and Sly Stone — it’s still available via the band’s website, along with a whole lot of other mixtapes.
