Closing out the craziest year of my lifetime, I wanted to share some of my recent favorites that have been helping me get through these incredibly trying times. Eclectic as always, you’ll hear funk, disco, afrobeats, reggaeton, house, and some psychedelic vibes all together in the mix- sounds that know no bounds. For us DJ’s & performers out there, as well as everyone else involved in nightlife and entertainment, the past 9-10 months have been a very strange and uncertain vortex, not only dealing with global pandemic, social rights uprisings, and political turmoil, but also complete disruption of our normal career and income streams. All these factors made me even more appreciative of the steady slew of amazing new releases coming out, the soul salve that helped me stay sane and positive through it all. Hopefully these songs can provide some relief for you too, get your body in motion, and help us find things to celebrate while we look forward to better days ahead in 2021.
