It’s December and I haven’t posted a mix in what seems like forever. Deadlines, midterms, work and finals have been beating in my head for the past few months and have limited what I’ve been able to post. So I’ve decided to post a mix anyway even though I should be working on something else.

The snow has hit the ground and we need some tunes to motivate us to carry out our daily routines through the ice and slush.

If you were looking for the jam of the summer, look no further. This “Warm Heart of Africa” remix by electro funk master Alan Wilkis featuring Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend transports all listeners instantly to a fantastic island themed party on the beech with all the bacardi and bikinis anyone could ever want. If only we could extend summer past September 22nd.

Erlend Oye and the rest of Whitest Boy Alive have returned this year with an album called “Rules” to follow up their excellent debut “Dreams”. The first single off of the new album is entitled “Island” and features some funky Rhodes keyboard, Erlend Oye’s gentle croon, and even some cowbell. Are you ready for the classiest dance party ever? I am.
