IT'S REALLY HERE! Spring has been teasing us with nice weather, but this morning we woke up and looked at the forecast and saw the magic number: 70! Whether or not New York City will actually see the mercury reach that glorious number remains to be seen. But while we prepare to enjoy this first warm day of the year in the cozy confines of our desks at the Okayoffice, we wanna share some mixes that are perfect for a nice day like today. Bamalovesoul's Spring mix was seemingly made for a day like today. DJ Elwood highlights some new music from the soul scene. Shortkut & Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies share the audio from their SXSW party.
DJ Elwood "Recent Soul, Volume 2"
Not sure how long it's been since DJ Elwood left Brooklyn and took up residence in Kansas City. We're happy to see that the move didn't stop him from putting out mixtapes! Check out his latest mix, Recent Soul, Vol. 2, consisting of just what the title says: Recent Soul.
