Warm and Fuzzy

DJ Neil Armstrong delivers one of the best love themed mixes you're ever likely to hear as he combines just the right amount of turntable trickery with a super tight selection of love jams, originally released in 2005 it's always been a mix I've kept coming back to and I can't believe it's taken me this long to pass it on to all you young lovers!

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...

This love themed mix comes courtesy of Dougie Boom. Check out his Myspace and Blog for some other amazing themed mixes such as his Halloween mix and the new Workout mix all of which are killer, but it was this mix he did for Valentines day that grabbed my attention. I recently got in touch with Dougie and he was nice enough to take time out to answer a handful of the themes for young lovers questions...

Name a track that would be no-brainer to put on a mixtape for that special someone you were trying to woo - I guess anything by Barry White/Love Unlimited. (sounds cliche but...)

You've turned the lights down low, lit the candles and poured the dom perignon, what LP goes on the stereo? Donna Summers "Love to Love You Baby" on repeat or Lover's Rock by Dougie Boom. I couldn't have put it any better :)

What is your fave romantic film of all time? Uhhh romantic???? A movie that could possibly get you laid ...Buffalo '66.

What song was/or will be played during the first dance at your wedding? I dunno. My last wedding i played at their song was Atlantic Starr "Always", which is a good pick.

He describes it as "a nice little musical description of how things go when spring does it's thing to you: nice sunny start, warm confession in the middle, familiar sensations towards sunset, reassurance at night and commitment to your intent at the end"
