Our very own Vivrant Thang pulled me out of "retirement" because she's a jet-setter and needs riding music. So I thought, what better way to test out our little podcast feed than with a mix? (If it doesn't work, let us know.) This is the first in a series called "Blended & Beat", because dope music is a good "look." Get it? If not, then there's nothing I can do for you. At any rate, enjoy the blend, which includes dance tracks from across the decades. Your eyes aren't fooling you, that is Sting, Prince and Stevie in the cover. I was also able to sneak in some De La Soul and Kelis, as well as House faves like Kenny Dope, who along with Louie Vega comprises Masters-At-Work and Nuyorican Soul. Props to Stylus for the inspiration. DISCLAIMER: This mix is for those that love to dance. You might elbow someone in the eye. Tracklisting after the bounce.
