I Wanna Be Trash... a mix

First mix in May. Part of the May Mixathon at ZeRO. A bunch of new things I've been listening to the past few months. The opening song has a catchy repetitive chorus exclaiming I wanna be trash. Thus the mix title. There is also a trashy feel to a lot of the songs here and some trashy dance beats too. Photo is from one of the trash people installations by German artist HA Schult.
