This is the sixth mixtape by the Funky Soul Burner originally produced in 2007. Welcome to the sixth mixtape on Funky Soul Burner, titled “Insert Variable for the Venerable Sum.” This mixtape is an eclectic blend of music genres and styles, featuring artists ranging from PJ Harvey to Beethoven.
The mixtape begins with “Home Work” by Themselves, an experimental hip-hop duo known for their unique approach to music-making. The track sets the tone for the mixtape with its abstract and intricate beats.
Following “Home Work,” we have “Puppets” by Atmosphere, a track that displays the duo’s storytelling abilities through its thought-provoking lyrics.

Next up is PJ Harvey’s “The Garden,” a haunting track that showcases her powerful vocals and poetic songwriting. The mixtape then shifts to the electronic stylings of Orsten’s “Fleur Blanche,” featuring a mesmerizing blend of strings and synths.
“Insert Variable for the Venerable Sum” continues with the downtempo beats of DJ Krush’s “Aletheuo (Truthspeaking),” followed by the dreamy sounds of Maps’ “It Will Find You.” The mixtape then takes a turn towards the classical realm with Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” performed by pianist Wilhelm Fischer.
Fleet Foxes’ “Mykonos” picks up the pace with its upbeat indie-folk sound, followed by Alias & Tarsier’s “Plane That Draws A White Line,” a track featuring haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation.
“Let It Roll” by Hieroglyphics (Tajai & Pep Love) offers a nostalgic nod to ’90s hip-hop, while Feist’s “Sealion” brings the mixtape full circle with its hypnotic melody and poetic lyrics. The mixtape concludes with “Pi~3.1415” by Heernt, an experimental jazz track featuring frenetic drums and jazzy horns.
