## NIGHTCAST003: Alex's Mixtape

Night School Studio released a playlist of music on their Mixcloud profile titled "**OXENFREE Nightcast 003: Alex's Mixtape**". This is the third entry in their "NIGHTCAST" mixtape series. This entry was assembled by *Oxenfree* composer and sound designer, SCNTFC.

This mixtape in particular features Alex taking over her older brother Michael's "Summer Jams Mix" cassette tape a year prior to the events of *Oxenfree*, just before Michael's death.

In the introduction, Alex says:

> *"Hi, Michael! Surprised? Startled? Unless you looked really carefully, I'm sure you expected this to be your 'Summer Jams Mix' of three years ago, but nope! I've taken it over! I still have a copy of it so don't be mad at me. Okay. As a farewell for your sports camp... art camp... wherever you're going for the next three weeks, I made you this ever-so-brief compilation. Play it for any cool boy or pretty girl you meet, and I'm sure they will be very impressed by your taste. Okay! Let's- let's just start this."*

After the second track, Alex returns to say:

> *"Alright, I'm just gonna cut in and say that last one I've been trying to make you listen to for a while now, and now you've heard it and you can't un-hear it so there! Oh- oooh, this is a good one! Remember this?"*

After the fourth track, Alex cuts in once more to say:

> *"I know, I know. You don't like that kind of music. You like your 'rappin' wrapper' or whatever, but this will make you friends. Trust me. Another oldie here - Hawaii vacation, Mom got drunk. Go."*
>

After the fifth track, Alex interrupts one last time to say:

> *"And, one last one. Knowing the lyrics, this is a little gross to send to my brother, but ignore that part, it's just a fun song. Have a great time on your trip! Bring me back stuff."*
>

There are also numerous "hidden messages" scattered throughout the playlist, consisting of mainly eerie radio static and what sounds like underwater sound effects after each track plays.
