Deep Vellum Books is excited to present a launch for "Natural Selection,” a multi-genre, collaborative zine. Copies will be for sale and music will be provided by DJ Oliver Garden (Brent Ozaeta). Come hang!

About the book

Natural Selection is a new collaborative mixtape zine compiled by Brent Ozaeta. The zine features twenty-four mixes from various contributors commemorating music discovery and the ritualistic act of song curation. In an effort to simulate the classic mixtapes of yesteryear, certain criterias were implemented such as track limit and overarching themes/storytelling. Each mix in this zine can be listened to at one's leisure via interactive links throughout.

Contributors to Natural Selection include Olive Garcia, Gino Dal Cin, Taro Waggoner, Aysha Nadurath, Alex Montenegro, Annie Nguyen, David Gianadda, Ricardo Oviedo, Moldyworld, Jacob Vasquez, Dyemond Daniel, Brent Ozaeta, Chi Leong, KiraKiraCutie, Irving Lopez, Bryce Cantrell, Bijan Zadeh, Era.Eras, Allison Belcher, Cyberianpunks, Yakie Sands, SooMi Han, and Oliver Garden.
