Having recently enjoyed Jackie Michel’s latest mix, while soaking up the sun on the rooftop of Jenkem HQ, it’s clear that her talent extends beyond skateboarding. This mix is so good it wouldn’t be a surprise if she found a career creating soundtracks for A24 movies. The mix is a diverse collection of sounds, ranging from classic rock anthems to dreamy bedroom pop, perfect for cruising.
A Blend of Sounds
Jackie Michel’s mix is not your typical skate mix. It’s a well-crafted journey through different sonic landscapes. The inclusion of “Goodbye Horses” is a nostalgic nod, whether intentional or not, to either Marc Johnson’s part in Fully Flared or its iconic presence in the Skate 3 soundtrack, both important landmarks within skateboarding culture. It’s a track that adds a unique layer to the mix, creating a subtle connection to skateboarding history and culture. This blend of genres and styles keeps the mix fresh and engaging from start to finish. The mix demonstrates an eclectic taste that sets it apart from the usual skate-centric playlists.

The Perfect Vibe
The mix is not just about individual tracks; it’s about creating an atmosphere. The combination of sounds creates a vibe that’s both relaxed and invigorating. It’s the kind of mix that makes you want to grab your longboard, find a scenic route, and just cruise. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just someone who appreciates good music, this mix has something to offer. I highly recommend listening to it while rewatching Limo’s latest video for an optimal experience.
