This one moves through the decades without getting too deep or too obvious - with a bit of satire woven in, playing with the over the top emotions and dramatic storytelling that make love songs so iconic. At the end, I had fun letting the eras speak to each other in a way that felt right. Also, this was my first mix on the CDJ 3000s, and I had hella fun putting it together. The transitions, the layering, the way the energy shifts - all of it felt like a new way to stretch and explore sound.
