"Au Revoir Montreal" is a spring mix tape by Chris Noel from Audio Penpals, Fridays at 4PM only on CJLO.
I DJed a bit over the past few years and would play mostly cumbia and reggae so this mix kinda represents the music that I've really liked and songs that I think people responded well to. It starts with a very traditional song and gets more 'accessible' after the first four minutes. It's titled "Au Revoir Montreal" because I'm moving to LA and these songs will always remind me of the time I spent in Montreal.

"An Ode to the Sun" is a spring mix tape by Remi from At the Movies (with Iconic Sounds), Tuesdays at 8AM only on CJLO.
When you make it out of the deep freeze of the woods and the lack of colour of the season, there is spring. That bright light that shines so bright in the sky welcomes spring. The sun now has it's own playlist. New and old jams. Upbeat tempos just like the radiance of the sun.
Remember the freedom you felt as a kid when you could finally dump those heavy winter boots and parkas and run around the neighbourhood wearing just your kicks and a 5$ bill in your pocket? You could buy so much candy for 5 bucks back then. CJLO is here to bring back that feeling and get you ready for this awesome sunny weather we've been having.
The theme for this round of the CJLO Mix Tape Club is Spring Fever! Sunny tunes to enhance your mood and get you pumped to go outside.
