Our Love Will Still Be There

on the heels of summer comes the latest edition of the Summer Crush series and the sixteenth anniversary mixtape for dj luv’s records. this collection of mid sixties rock ‘n’ soul continues the themes of lovin’, dancin’, huggin’, squeezin’ and groovin’ good times of previous editions. the mixes from this series were the ones my parents enjoyed the most. they are both gone now and i miss them everyday. i hope wherever they are they can feel these luv vibrations and get their groove on.
