As today is Valentine’s Day, I wanted to showcase mixes made for today, for love, and for lust. Sit back with that special someone and enjoy these tailor-made jams with a glass of Courvoisier by the fire.
Kill Paris — Now That’s What I Call Sexy Music Vol. 1
Kill Paris starts us off with a Valentine’s Day mix from last year. Starting off with Barry White, Montell Jordan, and Brandy to set the mood, he moves on to his own productions and tracks from Charlie Wilson, Usher, Tyrese, The Dream, Justin Timberlake, and Blackstreet. A perfect balance of old and new.
Flying Lotus — ‘Lovers Melt Pt. III’ Mix
Next up is a part three of the ‘Lovers Melt’ mixes from Flying Lotus. A beautiful mix of soul, dub, and progressive rock that provides the perfect soundtrack for Valentine’s Day. Tracks from Roy Ayers, Ann Peebles, Bobby Caldwell, Lee “Scratch” Perry, King Tubby, Donovan, Soft Machine, and Junior Parker are included.
