So this is by far my favorite mix yet (though the Harvest Moon is sitting on my desk waiting for me to listen). But you can’t EVER go wrong with old soul. The only way this mix could be better is if it were on vinyl.

And one more thing. I’ve got a mix from a couple Brits I met a couple years ago that you’d LOVE if you like this. Let me know, I’ll bring it in for you. Two hours of glory.

Definitely dig this one. Based on the selection of tracks, it seems like you like the harder, funkier Stax Records style of soul as opposed to the glossier, sweeter Motown sound. I’ll send you a mix of the latter that I’ve been working on.
