i don’t really post a lot of mixes but this one is really fun. my friend brean, a locally famous/locally popular/internet famous/guy who almost djed risque once, made this mix a few months ago. it’s a downtempo sort of mix of sexy ass jams that i like to play when i’m feeling sexy/silly/taking a shower/all of the above. enjoy.
