With warmer days soon coming to an end, we've got you covered with our End of Summer Mixtape, a playlist to get you through the changing of seasons.

As always, this quarterly playlist is culled from a combination of readers' favorites, staff selections and music from artists recently featured by Variance. It's a healthy blend of more than four hours of the newest, freshest songs of the season and the most buzzworthy indie, underground and mainstream music we currently love. And we guarantee you'll discover something new—or your money back!

The playlist, which can be heard below via Spotify, features new music from Drake, The Weeknd, JoJo, The Neighbourhood, CHVRCHES, Travi$ Scott and Majid Jordan, as well as a number of up-and-comers such as Huntar, Flor, Alessia Cara, Reece, Halsey, Michael Blume, La Mar, Lanks and more.
