I’ve been a deejay for more than half my life.
I don’t hear music the way you hear music.
When I listen to a song, there’s always a part of me thinking how that song would work in a mix. What song would go before it? What would go after it? What would be the shape of the mix?
I can’t turn that part of me off.
Today, on a whim, I listened to my Liked Songs playlists on Spotify while running errands. I dug what I was listening to (I did like the songs, after all). And as is my way, I heard songs in the playlist that just felt right together. It’d be a shame not to share it.
So here it is. I hope you like it.
Oh, and you can also find the playlist for today’s show here on Spotify.
