Summer Darling Tapes turns 3 with a mixtape that gives back: ‘Liquid Diamonds’ benefits Point of Pride

Summer Darling Tapes is throwing a party—and you’re invited. Well, kind of. The beloved indie label (home to Amusement, True Body, Bleached Cross, and more) is turning three and dropping a glittering new compilation called ‘Liquid Diamonds’ to mark the milestone. Even more exciting? It’s their 50th release. Double whammy.

But this isn’t just about cake and cassettes. Every single purchase of ‘Liquid Diamonds’ goes directly to Point of Pride, a nonprofit doing real, on-the-ground work to support trans folks with access to gender-affirming care. And in a generous twist, Summer Darling Tapes is matching every dollar you spend. That means your $10 tape? It turns into $20 of impact. That’s some sweet karma.

Here’s what the label had to say about it:

“We are proud to support Point of Pride’s mission at a time when legislative actions and executive orders continue to marginalize trans communities. Policies that restrict bodily autonomy and deny access to affirming care are not just misguided—they’re harmful. Our contribution is a small but meaningful stand for equity, inclusion, and human rights. Pick up a tape, enjoy the music, and know that your purchase is going toward something vital. Thank you for standing with us!”

The compilation features a rad lineup of artists, each bringing their own flavour to the mix: Healng, Blood Rave, Coatie Pop, Cure For Youth, Total Pleasure, Loner Statue, Blue Heron Holy Ghost, Grass Fed, Lozenge, High Sunn, and The Queen & I.

The artwork comes courtesy of Mysterious Factories, with layout and design by Die Zeit Heilt Alle Wunder—a dreamy visual pairing to match the sounds inside.

So if you’re into discovering new music and supporting something that truly matters, this is your moment. Grab the tape, share the love, and let’s make some noise—on and off the stereo.
