Fantastic Brazilian-themed remixes and covers that'll take you back to Carnival in Rio, or Bahia where you'll be drinking strong caipirinhas and cheering on the local football side.

Even though the 'Covid Experience' is behind many of us, the memory of it will linger forever.

These soothing, funky, chill, relaxing and danceable grooves will inspire us all to remain forever diligent.

Starting with a new groove from DJ Jazzy Jeff, this set includes soulful house, Brazilian and Nu Jazz grooves.

Welcome to my annual 'Best of' podcast.As the  Covid-19 pandemic eases here in Ontario, life is almost back to normal.For those of us who are double-vaxxed, everything is open to us, but many others stubbornly refuse to get the jab, which means the disease retains a foothold in many cities worldwide.And now that clubs and restaurants here are open to 100% capacity, DJs are returning back to work and producers are creating quality grooves.Toronto's Sarah Daye (who now lives in LA) begins this year's set with a sultry lounge groove that's sure to impress. Some of my other favourite tunes this year include gorgeous remixes, covers and original flavours from 4hero, Pamplemousse Rose, Michael Boothman, Dua Lipa and more.I dedicate this mix to a dear friend who's currently in a Toronto hospital, fighting for his life as he recovers from a seizure & stroke suffered earlier this month. Hang in their buddy - we're all praying for your speedy and complete recovery. As always, download, stream and share.1. For Love (Carnell Harrell remix) - Sarah Daye feat. Richie Hennessey2.
