During a Coffee & Conversation session we discussed love. As part of the conversation, we exchanged stories and playlists. Thanks to our friend, Vivian, here is the Funky is Love Mixtape Playlist. We’ve posted a few of the playlists along with a few short bursts of memoirs on love. (These are posts from the on the spot DJs themselves – we cannot represent the accuracy of their memories or what was on their mp3 players at the time.) Enjoy!
