CLICK COVER ART FOR MIX

Making mixes has taken a backseat in my life for the past month or so. Work has picked up, I’ve had some virtual gigs, and I’ve been doing a lot of pleasure reading. To be honest the break has been nice. I’ve been listening to a lot of music for pleasure as well, and Jessie Ware’s new album What’s Your Pleasure? has me so inspired by its originality and sheer danceability. It may be my favorite record of the year and has been the soundtrack to the late night solo dance parties that have carried my spirits through the last couple difficult and isolating months.

I put together this short 20 minute mix of upper mid tempo disco, house, and soul grooves to hopefully provide that same intimate experience for y’all. Everybody loves a good solo bedroom dance party: no audience, no gaze, no posturing, no facade, just unabashed self-love and whatever moves your body needs to make in that moment.
