A fan hailing from Dayton, Ohio has confessed to me that the rigors of medical school has prevented him from staying in touch with the music scene this past year. He requested a mix that both highlights the music he has missed and one that channels the kinetic nature of NYC inorder reinvigorate his overworked mind during Board Exam Studies. So this mix is dedicated to all the listeners out there who don’t always have available access to a music scene nor the flexibility and free time to keep up to date with the ever evolving music.

Chromeo has the “Ray Parker Jr Tom Tom Fills” down to a science; hence listening to their latest LP, Fancy Footwork, is hilariously akin to listening to a full length soundtrack for Ghostbusters. The bouncy space disco bass, the snippets of guitar, the swanky crooning, the over the top synth lines; it all adds up to a perfect retro 80s soundtack nostalgia.
