two thousand and ten : the afterparty.


here it is. my now annual new years eve afterparty mixtape.

a mix for the final moments of 2010, for the last clink of glasses and for those last love drunk dances on the dancefloor. for the first hours of a new year, stumbling home with sore feet and cheeks rosy from champagne. for the sleepless long night into morning, lounging lazily in bed with disco songs stuck in your head. and for the morning after watching the sun rise from a blurry window and pottering into the cold kitchen to make breakfast in your pants, warmed by the fur shrugged off the night before, still covered in the faint perfume of the one you love.

click here to download a funky mix of new and old disco, some chromeo because i am obsessed, my favourite song of the year by midnight magic, atmospheric tinny electronic house from gold panda and röyksopp, chilled out perfection by way of trentemøller, and a just discovered and highly loved zola jesus track.

so here's to 2011! 2010 will be a hard one to beat as i feel it was the best of my entire life; finally making it back to london and spending more time than ever with my favourite people and friends, seeing the world and dancing the nights away. let's keep the pattern going...

enjoy!

headed to the city last week to christmas shop and pick my brother up from his latest trip to nyc. he had a couple shots left on his disposable so we took a few the next morning atop the empty car park. i failed at finding many presents but i did find a shiny new copy of chromeo's latest record to listen to all the way home.
