Philadelphia-based DJ, Brick Bandits representative and Factory Girls clique de-facto leader Gun$ Garcia always keeps things extra real. When she tells The Fader that her "Pretending 2 Care" mix was the direct result of being inspired by the breakup of Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa plus "[being] up super late one night, high on diet pills and feeling feelings," we're absolutely inclined to believe every word she's saying. What comes out of her over-emotional space is this hour-long opus to some of 2014's most mainstream underrated and indie-adored moments. Any mix including everyone from Misun, TOKiMONSTA, and Anna Lunoe to FKA Twigs, K. Flay, and LIZ—with Hoodboi's flip of Lido's "I Love You" tossed in for good measure will provide a largely female-empowered and melancholic roller coaster well in line with the emotions space breakups occupy. This one is worth as many listens as possible.
