An all-weekend getaway to the beach. A subtle and clumsy dance on the pool. I love this Nickolas Muray photograph. I had no idea they had such bright, colourful photographs in 1932. I’d love to lie and tell you I created this playlist inspired by it. Maybe I will.
I created this playlist inspired by today’s photograph. Manouche jazz, soul funk, rare groove… it’s a nice, vibrant soundset for warm summer days. It might just scare the rain away.
Thank you for the Dusty Springfield version of ‘Spooky”, it is just killer, and love the “45 artwork, too!
Great mix, merci mucho!!
Yes Yes Yes!!! Love it! What about the others inspirations? Where are they from?
Thank you!
ikemonster: Looking at the light through the windowpane… the real inspiration is an actual trip I’m making to the beach tomorrow. I’m travelling with 15 friends and a few of us will be making the musical rounds on our way there (7 hours of driving!) and this is a taste of some of the songs I will be playing to them. Seems we have hurricane season all around us so it might be a bit rainy but we wont let a little bit of rain ruin the fun ;)
Have a great weekend everyone!
this is great! really liked spooky.
Thank you!

gorgeous!
very enjoyable. listened to it with my girlfriend. I think she likes me more
because I’m “sophisticated” in inadvertent-commas. Oops, I mean inverted
commas. sorry that was inadvertent.
The ‘Kinobe’ cut was a revelation,Moka, thanks! So nice to have on headphones and work to right now.
