I had been talking about doing a mix about all my favourite tunes themed on Love and everyone was sick of hearing me talk about it and not actually hearing the mix. So last uni holidays I was actually productive and here is the finished product with Love from me to you. So grab a partner, open your finest casked wine and get familiar. Big love to the homies from Well Dressed Vandals for doing me a cover so i can be all legit.
Lots Love from Mike Who..xo
Here are also some seperate tunes for your download because Stolen records fm Loves you..
Music from Lanie Lane, Raphael Saadiq, Frootful, Estelle and more. However, the centre piece of tonights show is our tribute to the late great Miss Amy Winehouse. She was a troubled girl, but there has always been something I have admired about her rugged charm, brash sense of humour and honesty, which comes out with such feeling in her music.
Famed producer, Salaam Remi – who worked with Amy Winehouse on Frank, Back To Black and her unfinished comeback album – had this to say about Amy’s personality when recently talking to New York’s Power 105.1 FM.
“Amy had strong opinions on everything. …. She was very opinionated about what she liked. At the end, she was a real person,” he said. “She had a huge heart. We’d be working for hours and she would have everybody in the room snickering. She always had a joke. You could hear a lot of that in her lyrics, she could be sarcastic and she was extremely witty … but more than anything else she was a real person, an individual artist.”
“To put it all in a nutshell, Amy loved to sing, to write … that ability never left her,” he said. “She was very good at channeling her emotions into lyrics, and then being able to sing them. She was in a place to go forward and make it happen. … The way that Amy and I always created was, she would write and we would toss ideas around.”
Rest In Peace Amy!

Since when did R&B turn into really bad dance music? Not interested in a night of Fatman Scoop with David Guetta clones? Shiiiittt… seems the only places that you can hear new club R&B and Hip Hop in Sydney is at Snapback, Levin’s sets at Halfway Crooks and DJ Leon Smith playing at strip club/nightspot Bada Bing.
While most R&B DJs are content peddling the same hits each week, Leon is one of the few that is pushing new R&B and Hip Hop. Leon popped in the studio to play a set of tunes that strippers like to get naked too.

Willie Hutch! Doesn’t he look good here at Soul Train. Willie was a singer songwriter, but also a producer for Motown working on songs with the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and also did the soundtracks for ‘Foxy Brown’ and ‘The Mack’. He also had his own fair share of success as a recording artist. This track comes off his 1973 album ‘Full Exposed’ and was nabbed by Three 6 Mafia.
Paul Nice is without a doubt one of my favourite Dj/producer’s period. He is heavily slept on over here and his Mixtapes are all time. I will post some of his other tapes over the next few weeks but for now here is ” Breaks For Days” a killer tape full of deep breaks and uncut funk. Also thrown in are a few cheeky Paul Nice bootlegs as a side serve.
What can I say about DJ Spinbad that hasn’t already been said. Basically you need this mixtape in your life. This tape is so next level and makes 90’s cheese sound amazing. So much detail so much time… if you slept on this tape you need to download it today and if you’re a hater you suck and will probably stub your toe in the next 3 days.
