VVGO Summer Mixtape 2022 / VVGO Summer Mixtape 2022 / VVGO Summer Mixtape 2022

On this, our fourth mixtape, we invited our members to think of pieces that embodied the summer either in sound, setting, or spirit. Our members responded by coming up with a number of different inventive arrangements. We hope you enjoy our Summer Mixtape 2022!

The team behind VVGO has decided to put the power to make music in the hands of our community! We open the door for smaller-scale pieces and a larger volume of pieces to manifest.
