Pixel Noise Vol. 4: Girls of Summer [Gallery + Mix]

When VICE's photo editor, Christian, isn't busy tracking down the weirdest, most provocative, and (dare we say) best photographs to blow your minds in both the mag and on VICE.com, he's wasting time and listening to every song he can get his hands on. Every week, he will bring you a mix of the stuff he's been jamming to, as well as a new photographer you should check out.

Yo, dummy, summer is basically here. It's like 90 out and I'm feeling all sorts of sticky. This mix is what I think will be one of many mixes made for the hotter months, when you're doing things outside and drinking more when the sun is up. You know, fun things. So, in that spirit, I've added some fun stuff to the mix, mostly in the form of some out-and-out trap music. Trap is on it's last legs as something a self-aware person can listen to without feeling like a big dork, especially after the whole Baauer thing, but it's still fun to me. Ask me again in a few months, and I bet that will change, but for now, let's enjoy it while it lasts. That's what summer is for.

I've paired this mix with the photos of Ryan Kenny. Ryan is a great photographer, but arguably his best skill is taking pictures of cute girls. Cute girls are one of the best parts of summer (also good for the summer: respecting women), so it seemed very fitting. I culled Ryan's best shots for an all-ladies portfolio. Enjoy and have a good time.
