You can download the mix in a variety of formats. However, I recommend the iTunes Optimized version.

Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments!

I decided to focus primarily on Canadian independent artists mainly because I thought they were largely being left out of people’s top lists.

I hope you enjoy this list. I love feedback!
