I came up with an idea more than a year ago to create epic mixes that included a lot of the music that we all love so much that we never admit to like at all. The kind of music our parents used to force us to listen to when we were kids. Lionel Richie, Hall & Oates, Sting & the Police, Queen, David Bowie, and the like. After hitting a lot of dive bars I found out that there are people that are proud to listen to this music and the rest of us need to join them and stop pretending to be too cool for this music.
So the original mix I created more than a year ago was never recorded and my setlist was lost in a move. This mix was actually created for my ex-girlfriend since she is really into cheesy 80s music. She never got the finished product and I thought about just deleting the mix altogether but I felt like it was decent enough to put out there and my older cousins might appreciate it as well.
The actual name “Guilty Pleasures” was thought up by the homie Alagy a.k.a. Budda Baboon, who is a dope MC/Producer that I met at SIPA (Search to Involve Pilipino Americans). Much love to Alagy for the name, whom I haven’t seen in a minute, where you at?
Check the mix.
