So I guess it’s time to get all warm & fuzzy up in here!
Warmfuzzy is without a doubt one of the best love themed mixes you’re ever likely to hear as DJ Neil Armstrong (just one of Jay-Z’s touring DJ’s NBD.) combines the right amount of turntable trickery with a super tight selection of love jams from the likes of Al Green, Stevie Wonder, The Cure, Hall & Oates, Tears For Fears, Jackson 5, Prince, Sade & more. Originally released in 2005 it’s always been a mix we’ve kept coming back to over the years and there’s never a more perfect time to bump it than on the 14th of February.
Here’s what the man himself has to say about it -
This mix is called Warmfuzzy, like the feeling. It’s to “celebrate” Valentine’s Day, but if you’re as pimp as you think you are, this CD should be good all year round. This is NOT what you want to bump when you’re planning your next driveby. It IS the mix you should give your homegirl or emothug on 02-14, it IS something you should listen to if you love ALL types of music and skills. It’s even something you should hear if “love” is kicking you in your ass and you’re staring at the wall all day cause it seems like you can’t find anyone, or your significant other is a trifling, lazy, no good… Oops, I digress…
It should give you hope that this crazy little thing that all these people write, sing, paint, dream and fight about - is something real and worthwhile. To all those on the infinite pursuit, and especially those who have finished their quest, I salute you. Let this be the soundtrack for the big adventure, I’ll be right there with you…
