Archive Mix: Slow Dance (Valentine's Day, 2010)

For those feeling freaky...

2010: Barack Obama was president, the Iraq War was seemingly ending, and the Citizens United vs. FEC Supreme Court decision would unleash unspeakable horrors down the road.

And yet, as a recovering Brooklyn Hipster, life was comparatively good. I made this on the occasion of Valentine's Day and am not even sure what software I used. Leaning on FX, I was clearly going for a sexy, slightly psychedelic R&B vibe. While embarrassing in places, it holds up well. I'd still recommend it for Valentine's Day 2025, or any R&B excursion. Artists include the woefully underrated Electrik Red, DaM FunK, Erykah Badu, Dilla, Keri Hilson, Flying Lotus, & more.
